Dont do it!
Get the original out on DVD instead save yourself some money and watch the better version

Nooooo!  Get the box set of the original films. You will often see these in the sales.

Agreed - listen to the Kermode review for this on the bbc five live website (infact, while you're at it, subscribe to his podcasts). "Ho, and indeed hum" 
The actors aren't big enough for the roles (I don't mean famous, I just mean they don't "fill" the roles), it adds absolutely nothing, it's quite laugable in places - a few jumps. no real scares. We went to see if after an exam because we wanted some brainless bumf to chill out to and it just about satisfied.

I haven't seen it but it didn't really look that great to me... I LOVE LOVE LOVE scary and suspenseful movies, but I've seen SOO many of them (just about all of the movies listed on the top scariest movies of all time... and many others) that it's pretty much impossible to scare me... so now I look for more intellectual depth to movies than just a "good scare" ... I've found movies that are easy to believe tend to be the most frightening, because there is no surrealism to what you watch, and in the back of your mind you know that what you see has and could happen to anyone (even yourself) ... these types of movies tend to "bother" your comfort rather than scare you *while* you watch them, but after it's over, you often feel frightened and sometimes disturbed by what you've seen... this is probably an "acquired taste" though  A good movie like that which I've just described was "Dancer in the Dark" ... although it was a musical and at times seemed like a happy sort of movie, there was an underlying thread of morose and slightly macabre realism that was rather disturbing.

man, sorry but I don't understand alot of the things everybody is saying because most of you are from the UK and I'm from the US, whether you were just being a geek, or "pants" actualy means something I'm not sure... but if it does mean something- do explain

Just a slang expression.

wow, I never would have guessed that! lol, you (or somebody) should make a list of UK slang translations, and US slang translations that would be very helpful

Winston Churchill got it right when he referred to two nations divided by a common language!
I was mad about my flat in UK would mean 'very pleased about my apartment' but in US would mean 'very annoyed about my punctured tire'.
We buy from several US firms and have had some real laughs about different meanings of common words and phrases. In the UK, when preparing to serve a meal, it would be very innocent to refer to 'laying the table' but in the US would be rather worrying to say the least (be careful of the knives and forks!). And as for asking to borrow someone's rubber to correct pencil errors....  .
