Watched over the weekend. It's a truly tense city slasher with great character study and acting by Joe Spinell, and master effects work by Savini. At times, it felt like the effects were outshining the directing hand, and that droning noise score that was used is just flat out annoying. 8/10

The remake is playing this week during the Melbourne International Film Festival and comes with a strong graphic violence warning.

Going to book my ticket right now.

They cannot half ass the remake. It has to be balls out violent, otherwise the film would've taken a step down in comparison to the original.

Oh my god. l was just reading about the Evil Dead remake which is doomed to fail. Then l come here and discover that Frodo is hamming it up in a remake of the greatest slasher movie ever. Oh, the fucking humanity.

5 star review from Dread Central

Sounds pretty good. The original is one horror I haven't seen so would like to see it before the redux.

damn, it does look good. Looks to be almost as violent as the original. Diggin' the POV as well. Elijah can do that seriously disturbed thing pretty well. That was one of the more surprising things about Sin City, for me.
