And -- obviously -- nowhere near as good as the original story.<br /><br />I'd love to see this one get a nasty- low-budget remake someday and stick with the story. That could be a messed-up little horror flick, there.Bryant Burnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189356171455609865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727181806679003267.post-71565427192119413972012-11-21T13:38:06.097-06:002012-11-21T13:38:06.097-06:00I made it a point to watch the movie twice this ti...I made it a point to watch the movie twice this time, just to make sure I hadn't missed any details or was maybe not giving it a fair shot. Nope, it was just as awful the second time around if not even more so. Hence the reason those captions exist. :) Glad you enjoyed it!<br /><br />I am very curious to see if the sequels will be just as painful or an improvement on this film, even if therealphoenixanewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728133971705657561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3727181806679003267.post-66997705638549393132012-11-21T13:13:42.653-06:002012-11-21T13:13:42.653-06:00The last time I saw this, I thought it was a reaso...The last time I saw this, I thought it was a reasonably faithful adaptation. Re-watching it the other day, I totally agree with you. The setup is still pretty faithful, and I love the actors playing the demon greasers, but I forgot how awkwardly drawn out and melodramatic everything is, and just how thoroughly they disposed of the story's excellent ending in favor of the schmaltz they use.
