Why.. WHY must Hollywood absolutely obliterate foreign films? Do we have to take over everything? There was nothing wrong with the original from 2014. Creepy right off the bat, the Mother in the original barely had any lines and that alone put you on edge wondering why she was so mysterious. In this remake- Mother is watching movies, actively on the phone, feeling herself/dancing in front of mirrors- just STOP. Naomi Watts must have been hard up for some cash because what the hell.
0 creepiness. Just some bi**h mother being conceited. Was the original a total work of art? No, but compared to this dumpster fire it is.
It's also painfully obvious what the twist is gonna be from the beginning. At least, YES I WILL KEEP COMPARING IT, in the original you had no idea what was gonna happen or where the film was going. It just sucks- it wasn't even NEEDED. Damnit Hollywood, just leave well enough alone! I only gave it 2 stars in hopes people would see this and see it was a remake, thus gaining more attention for the original.

Listen I am not above watching a movie in black and white. I'm a sub VS dub kind of person for God's sake. But man when I tell you I was praying at some point for them to just turn the color on.. this film was made in 2016. Who the hell willingly wants to watch a movie in black and white? I can definitely see why people compare this to Eraserhead.. but we really only need one movie like that. The gore was awesome and probably the only thing I really enjoyed about the movie. Other than it's shorter run time... I can't even begin to enjoy a film if I cannot stand the main character and unfortunately she's all we really have throughout the film. Barely any dialog at all and I was questioning scenes and their reasonings after like 10 minutes in. People are PRAISING this movie so if you wanna take that leap go ahead. Just don't say any of us "low raters" didn't try to warn you.
