Your opinion, ladies and gentlemen ...
I was watching the remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and I was struck by just how good it was.
As a general rule, remakes of classics do not fare well, but this one definitely did. In fact, I think that the remake is at least on the same par and in many ways (at least for me) far scarier than the original.
I think this is because, (in part) the special effects were far better. I know that they did the best they could for the original ...
but I could tell that it was rubber popping out of a bunch of soap suds.
The remake's special effects were able to be far more graphic and they serviced the same story better, enhancing the experience.
Your opinions ... ?
