Zombie gives us a so-so re-make of a classic that is more like two re-makes in one. The first half is an origin story, of sorts, and the second is a sped up retelling of the first. I can't forgive the second half for being too much like the original, but I do like how he made the whole thing feel like a 70's splatter flick. That said, the experience was more nauseating than scary. It just brings an unpleasant feeling to the atmosphere. Only the final chase between Michael and Laurie carries any suspense.
