Why It Rocks

 * 1) Unlike most horror movies remakes, this one manages to capture the eerie and terrifying charm of the original, while also adding some of it’s own adjustments to appeal to more modern viewers.
 * 2) The acting is spectacular, especially from Jensen Ackles and Jaime King.
 * 3) The death/murder scenes are very gory and memorable. The fact the film was promoted in 3D really adds to the goriness.
 * 4) The cinematography is wonderful and perfectly fits the tone of the film.
 * 5) An excellent twist where it’s revealed that Tom (who was a protagonist in the original) is revealed to be the film’s main antagonist and the real killer with entirely new motives.
 * 6) Unlike the original which just showed flashbacks, we actually get to see Harry Warden (the original killer) in action as he murders several people in the movie’s opening.
 * 7) Most of the characters are interesting and have a lot of depth to them which makes it all the more engaging.
 * 8) Patrick Lussier has shown some great skills as a director.
 * 9) The sight of a killer in mining attire and wielding a pick-axe is still an intimidating sight.
