I saw it tonight, it was good, not great, but good. It was pretty relentless when possessions started to go down. I have gripes that I would with any horror movie that didn't quite make sense in certain areas, but you have to suspend belief with most horror films to truly enjoy them. I personally think the original was just goofy. I'm sure if I would've seen it in the 80s or 90s I might have been a bit freaked out but its just so campy. This is a very good re-imagining of the first movie; brought forth with todays effects, gore, and action. The only scary things about this movie are those jump moments, where the theater turns up the volume that its almost impossible not to jump. Overall I'd give it a 7/10.
