I feel that orginal doesn\'t miss the horror at all. When the original first came out, nobody had seen anything as sadistic as that. Any older person that you talk to about this movie will mostly likely say it scared the crap out of them and that a lot of people would walk out of the theatre. I mean shit must of had enough horror in it for be banned in certain countries...
Don\'t get me wrong I like the remake as much as the next fellow. I was at the store the day it came out to buy a Special/Limited edition copy, but to say a remake of the cult classic is 100% better is kind of asinine. The remake may have showed more of bubba and focused more on him, but I feel how they portrayed the family in the original made it a more of a total package for a horrifying experience. The dinner scene, which the remake lacked, has to be one of the most horrifying scenes in any horror movie.
There is just one thing I cannot forgive the remake for. Showing bubba\'s face...Giving him excuse to wear the face because he had the face eating disease takes away alot of his terror. You feel sorry for him IMHO. But by giving him excuse to wear people\'s faces takes aways bubba\'s- I really don\'t know the word to use...esscence maybe? You didn\'t know why bubba wore other people\'s faces except for the fact that he is one sick motherfucker who likes wearing the faces of people who he brutally butchered...seems more terrifying to me though.
Well I\'m sorry for the rant, and I\'m sorry if i rubbed anyone the wrong way. Just burns me up when little kids (no one in particular) have a case of diarrhea of the mouth.
