The new trailer has some fairly good acting and some fun looking special effects. It also looks fairly similar or true to the original film, but it also has similar vibes to films such as Insidious.
But for me, the new trailer just doesn't invoke the chills the same way that the original film's trailer does. And part of the charm, in my opinion, of the original film was its 1980s technology and how it played into the film. It will be interesting to see new technology and new cultural elements as they appear in the remake.
So what do you think? Does this look like it could live up to the original, or is it too close to modern horror films like Paranormal Activity and Insidious? Compare both trailers below and decide for yourself!
