It was worth watching once.It was three hours cut to 2 by the studio and dumped on streaming.It is the cliff notes of the story, but a fun romp.setting it in the 70's was a good move.

Only an hour in last night but watching again. Pretty cool so far.....

I have nothing to compare this to, since I've never seen the original, but I liked this remake.

I liked the fact is was set in the 1970's, I liked the performances, thought it was well shot and edited.

It does have the usual trope involving a major character played by a child, that fact that the child is usually smarter than all the adults in the room. That aside, It was a fun couple of hours on the weekend that included a scene involving some old Aurora model kits ...

The original is also on max.

I'm gonna give it a good thumbs up! Not a bad watch for a remake. True mostly to the original despite character swaps, and plot twists but very well filmed and enjoyable. The ending is awesome!
But I also found there was another remake in 2004.

The 2004 version is AWFUL. Don't waste your time.

Watched this the other night. You can tell half the story was missing. Maybe when, or if, they release a Blu ray it will be complete. Barlow looked like a cheap knockoff of the Tobe Hooper version.
