I have not seen the entire original version and have seen most of the remake (I work in a movie theatre). That being said, and having been given some very thorough descriptions of the differences between the two, I would have to side with SES. The one thing the remake has going for it is atmosphere; the world the characters inhabit is creepy and disgusting. one of the major problems with it, though, is that it lacks a sense of humour, which the original has in spades. The banquet scene alone is a great chuckle, albeit it sick one. Am I on the right path here, SES?
