Ok, is it as good as the original? No. The acting feels less authentic, more theatrical. I often didn’t understand Dr. Gene’s choices. Nor did I fully understand the (why so small) part that Sharon played. The original movie simply was more eerie and engrossing, a classical example of less being more. Was it bad then? No! It has good cinematography and an interesting plot. I enjoyed it and I’m actually looking forward to watching the third movie!
