i really like the nicolas cage remake, this original adaptation is better directed and looks better obviously but honestly outside of nicolas cage.....i still preffer the remake.
this one is definitly stronger thematically but my god is the main character in this boring asf.
cage and the backstory they give him in the remake makes him a far more interesting character. here our main character is just a random police officer, i mean he does have character but he's very boringly played imo.
now the films sidecharacters, the people who live in the village are the best part about the film, here they all have great personalities that are fun to watch. the village and its people are better handeld in this then the remake because i do have to say that its to obvious in the remake.
is this technically a better movie?
probably but i still preffer the nicolas cage rendition.
