Saw this in Brighton, UK today - 06/06/06 no less.
So - as good as the original? No. Close? No. Scary? Creepy in parts, but the "shocks" are badly edited, and only one (out of 4 or 5) actually work. Even the infamous death scenes are pale compared to the original (although the beheading is well made). Also, it's virtually a shot-for-shot remake so it feels boring if you've already seen the original.
It fails due to 3 (important) factors: the lead casting is unsympathetic; the score is nowhere near as effective as the original, and the direction and pace are just WRONG - has the director even SEEN a thriller/horror film? Anyway, that's just my view (along with the rest of the audience at this particular screening) - see it for yourself if you must - but I'm going to watch the original tonight to see how a REAL classic should be made (something the director of the remake should have done)

I love the slasher genre.
No, seriously, I do! Problem is, there are only a few truly great movies in this genre worth watching. "Halloween" is one....and "Eyes of a Stranger" is most definately another.
While this has the usual by-numbers set-pieces that permeate other slasher pics, this film makes them scary - hell, even terrifying. Okay, so the ending is pretty naff (name me a slasher epic whose ending isn't naff and I'll give you a nice, long snog), but the overall feel of the film more than makes up for it.
Incidentally, it was Jennifer Jason-Leigh's debut film (what's happened to her these days anyway?), and has some nifty little SFX courtesy of Tom Savini (not that I could give a flying-whatsit - "Night of the living dead" remake anyone?).
This film is occasionaly shown on Sky Cinema in the UK (2002). If you get the chance, watch it....and then tell me it didn't scare the pants off you......

Okay, so it might not be Sherlock Holmes's Smarter Brother, but this film has tons of charm (Lahti is fantastic, as is Wilder), some strange little twists, and reassuring laughs.
Watch it on a Sunday;-)
