    A faithful remake of the 1976 film, and that's a relief; it depends on characters and situations and doesn't go berserk with visuals.

    Competently made, and enjoyably played. But you do really end up wondering what the point was. Cinematic déjà vu is the most likely response.

    Seriously, that kid is creepy as hell.

    Schreiber and Stiles are good actors, and they're actually acting, if not to any actual avail. In the silliest recasting, a comically exaggerated Mia Farrow takes over for steely Billie Whitelaw in the evil nanny role.

    I thought it was a faithful adaption prehaps a bit too slick, but well done.
  2. This was an amazing movie with many memorable moments. The thrill of this movie was warranted especially since one of the few horror movies I enjoyed representing the devil and all things dark. Expand

    It's actually pretty good...really scary, unlike most of the horror crap we get these days.

    Hard to see why this remake was made.
