Absolutely Loved it !!! BRUTAL !!!!
1 July 2013 | by (darlington uk) – See all my reviews

One of the best horror movies I have ever seen. Brutal and very scary . Having said that , you will probably enjoy this movie even more if you haven't seen the original !! I have tried many times to watch the original but for me its too cheesy and old .. I'm into more modern movies these days and I know its supposed to be a classic but its just not for me , that's why I was so looking forward to seeing the remake . In my opinion it was fantastic . Deffo one of the best remakes ever made . I was hiding behind the pillow for most of the movie lol and it gets straight into the action and horror from beginning to end keeps you on the edge of your seat its great .

10/10 from me !! well done !!
