Final Thoughts

I'm not one who hates remakes, in fact i often prefer the remakes to the original, however int his instance, I certainly recommend sticking with the original. The story is nearly the exact same thing, and  there are multiple scenes that are completely identical. However despite a bigger budget, and more well known stars, this was just not as enjoyable. Still worth watching as its a decent enough creature movie, and I enjoyed watching a very early appearance from Mila Kunis.
