Holy crap, I can't believe they remade this. I just saw the poster today. Is there any chance this will be as violent and cruel as the original? I suspect not, but I'm definitely checking it out. The original was awesome.

Read about this in the new Esquire. Yeah, it's a shot-for-shot remake. I haven't seen the original, but the article definitely put it on my radar (if only for Naomi Watts)
. How was the original received? Seems like they're taking a big chance with a remake given the subject matter/content.

The original is pretty good.This remake is shot by the same director.They did the same thing a few years back to The Vanishing and ruined it by changing the ending.

I watched this last night after reading about it in another thread, the comparison to Clockwork Orange, which was the feeling I got from the remake trailer. I'll be impressed if Hollywood allows this to play-out the same as the original. Not near as violent as you'd think, more of the "Wow! That ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs was SO gross!"-violent
