Hey guys! ;D
Well… I watched the remake first and then the original, and I gotta say I did prefer the remake. The character just seems so much simpler in the remake. His facial expressions are so much better. (dribbling milk, his face when he is feeding the birds up against the window, his face when checking the light switch.) it seems like he isn’t capable of whats about to happen.
He seems abit more capable of it in the original. But that could just be because I know whats about to happen!
Maybe if I watched it the other way round I would think differently.
I loved some of the shots. Colours are better and editing flows great in both.
I think the power cut was a better reason to go down into the basement.
When he came down into the basement to turn the power back on and the kids started to shout, there was a split second when it hung on a shot of him looking over at them and I though he didn’t know they were down there and he was going to run over and save them. Coz hes a nice guy, But no! :o
I love the way its left you not knowing whats gonna happen next, and what he is capable of. Your left to fill in the gaps.
So yea, it is great story. Remake for me! I enjoyed it. I was just getting to the point in the film when I was thinking, so this is just about a simple minded man eating rice krispies, something’s gotta happen, and then, WHAT!?, people in the basement! Ok, so he’s crazy.
Great!
