I was never a fan of the original but I LOVED parts 2 & 3.I really enjoyed this version even though I wasn't expecting to.The way it started off I didn't think I'd like it at all.I found the family EXTREMELY annoying.What little girl calls her father a dumbass & gets away with it? The father gets laid off, the mother is a writer but they go house hunting & buy a HUGE house.I don't know about you but that doesn't seem too smart to me.There's a few other things I could go on about but I guess I'm reading way too much into it & it's only a movie.Anyways...... I enjoyed this movie way more than the original (Maybe I should watch the original again?) I hope there will be a part 2 because if they do bring back the reverend I'd like to see what he'll look like.I can't imagine he'll be as scary as the original.I've seen that this movie has gotten a ton of bad reviews but I don't understand why.Maybe everybody was expecting a version similar to the original? I liked that this movie was in some ways similar to the original but also stood on it's own.I'm looking forward to a sequel (If there is 1) & seeing what will happen next
