This is a remake of the original German film. It's the same exact director and frankly it's 99.9% shot for shot the same. Fans of the original may find this one ahrd to watch as it feels like the actors are just reenacting the original film.
For those new to the film I must say you're in for a surprise. Some of you may go in expecting blood and guts and torture porn like you've never seen. Then there are the others who actually looked up information on the film.
There is very little in the way of blood and guts. Yeah, people die but you never see it, except perhaps once. The film has something to say but most viewers won't care because the film is poking fun at them in general...
Confused? Good. While I do recommend this film I can't help but feel like most will hate it because it isn't what they want. Those with an open mind will find a great film. Not a masterpiece by any means but unique and interesting for sure.
And while I make the actors seem to be doing a bad job they actually do a fine job but it's hard to judge it as I have seen the original and movements and tones are almost exact but once the horrible stuff starts to happen the actors come full circle and bring the roles into their own.
Entertainment Value - 2/5
Movie - *** 1/2 / 5
