I was really looking forward to this film because the original version blew me away when I watched it back in '07. I remember the previous film to be much more disturbing and violent.

What a box office disaster. Cost - $30M, Gross Receipts - $5M.

If the original version blew me away, what was the point in the remake?

The point of watching it? Because they made it!

I like Brolin and Spike Lee, so I thought this would be pretty cool. It was still decent.
