So I've come to the conclusion remakes suck. The ring introduced this phenomenon and now, we as a collective group, should boycott remakes. They just had to get their fingers in the eye's cookie jar. To its credit, the destruction of this movie is not what I thought it would be. I thought Jessica Alba would ruin it for me. Turns out, the writers and director are the ones who need to be slapped. Horrible, HORRIBLE dialogue. I don't know the name of the actor who plays the doctor in the movie, but wow. He really tapped into some crazy horrible over acting. Then, scenes which scarred me for life in the original ( and I am basing this as a fan of the original ) held nothing but disdain in this one. Alba's dreams suddenly become premonitions, and it destroys the whole point of the original donor being cursed with premonitions via sight. Sadly, I did not make it through this movie. Why bother? You know, I wish they would domestically release these movies in theaters, THE ORIGINALS, but we are a society that is anti-subtitle, so we are stuck in re-make hell. I heard this movie tanked at the box office. If things continue, maybe we can escape this sh*tty trend, just marginally scarred.
