4.5 out of 5??... For this less than stellar remake? TCM '03 was just another example of the 'teen' style horror films that true horror fans have come to despise.

I disagree. It avoids the self-referential style that became so popular after Scream and instead focuses on delivering pure, unadulterated terror with some of the best cinematography seen in a horror film.

I totally agree with Joe. I was blown away by this movie - I expected a silly nudity-filled WB-actors-and-actresses-packed silly horror film. Instead I got arguably one of the bloodiest films ever made, but also a very intense, well-made, enjoyable, thrilling, scary ride that - unlike some of the recent slasher flicks - doesn't use stupid gore as a primary attribute, but rather to its advantage. If you can stomach it, this remake is very good, and better than the original.

"Better than the original"? We must kung fu fight. The original is pretty much my favorite film ever, and this one sickened me to no end. I was never scared, just nauseous. In the original it was the characters that were sadistic and sociopathic; in this one, it was the movie.

P.S. I can't believe I just managed to use the phrase "we must kung fu fight" in a reply to John Ulmer about the remake of 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,' when I already did this at least a year ago replying to his comments about the original film. I totally did not remember this. The mind works in mysterious ways.
