I haven't seen the new remake but I agree that the original was a good movie because it relied more on suspense and being disturbing rather than being full of gore. The 2004 (or 2003, whatever) kind of failed in my eyes because it focused too much on the violence, which made everything less scarier. The original absolutely terrified me because you never really saw what was going on. When they actually show dismemberment or chainsaw mutilations etc. you're like "Oh okay..." and it loses its value as a horror movie. Although that's just my own opinion ^_^

I don't bother listening to critics - it's just one person's opinion, after all.
For example: Barry Norman (BBC film critic) thinks Woody Allen is the funniest person who ever lived - not to me, he ain't!
