- First thought -
(U.S.) "Right, ... I don't know what to expect"
(Ger.) "Again ... brilliant movie, can't wait to feel the tension"
- Actual movie(s) -
Two psychopathic young men take a family hostage in their cabin. (imdb)
So I watched them in the wrong order, first the American version
then the German one. It's not really a big problem, but I just didn't
know there was an earlier version untill recently. Today was a good
day to watch the 1997 version, and my god... it's exactly the same.
I fell in love with the power of this movie while watching the
American version, and I just think it does the same as the other one.
I can understand why people dislike the remake of a movie that
isn't even that old. But I think the director just wanted to get
a bigger audience for this brilliant story. In any way.. I was sold while
watching the American, so nothing could spoil that.
This isn't actually a horror movie but more drama, crime or thriller.
I just wanted to share this as the brilliant movie it is. So watch
the original or the American, ... I really don't care... just watch it!
Although I feel the pressure to add that a foreign language allmost
never fails to add extras to a movie.
(This movie is not what I call 'Scary' or 'Bloody' it's more emotionally
thrilling. Can't really explain. So I will only give overall scores.)
Rating
1997 - overall : 9 / 10
U.S. - overall : 8,5 / 10
