Sounds disturbing, good, but disturbing.
ReplyDeleteThe original from korea is amazing one of my favorite movies of all time. I really really hope spike doesn't screw it up
ReplyDeleteThe trailer looks faithful to the original one. Hope Spike Lee pulls it off.
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand why this remake was necessary, but at least Samuel Jackson is in it..?
ReplyDeleteHe's a good director. I don't see why he couldn't. It's not a given that he did, but there's potential that he wouldn't...
ReplyDeletebetter than expected
