Thoughts?
Yes.
These movies are proof that a great film isn't just a great screenplay, but also how it's directed: how what's written is translated to film. Good directors can make a a bad screenplay watchable, and bad directors can make a good screenplay a bad movie.
Both movies have the same basic script, there are differences here and there, but it's the same story. The original, however, is a haunting masterpiece, the new one, is decent, doesn't match the epic creepiness. Some notes:
I had issues with those two statements. They are inaccurate. I'm not going to pick it apart because you'd be offended that a black woman knew more than you. Then posters would troll me.
I don't feel like being harasssed over a movie analysis. Besides, you didn't care about film analysis until you saw my discussion with NZer about la femme Nikita and Point of No Return. Also, nobody here gives a crap about movie analysis. It's always been that way on filmboards. -

I don't care that you're a black woman??? (at least not in this context. If I was lookin' for someone to sit on my face than a black woman might come in handy.)
What issues? I think you just misunderstood.
I'm saying that one can adapt two movies from the same screenplay, and one could be bad, and one could be good, depending on how it's directed and acted.
Psycho is an example of this. Psycho 1960 was excellent while Psycho 1998 was bad, despite same script.
Batman Returns is an example, IMO. I think it's a really ****ty screenplay. But Tim Burton made a pretty film to look at, with the set design, costume design, the snowy Christmas setting with the noir look, how the white snow contrasted against the dark buildings. The exterior scenes were almost black-and-white, but it wasn't. The opening scene with the shot of Pee Wee Herman looking at the window, in fully detailed garb. The wide shot of Catwoman reveal looking outside of her apartment window, with the neon lights. Those things matter. If some ****ty director made that, it could be a really ****ty movie.
Also, nobody here gives a crap about movie analysis.
I don't care. I do it for myself mainly. -

I'm a stickler for following the original source material to a relative degree. The only thing I would have changed about the prom scene is having the teacher survive.
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane

Thatโs one youโd watch if youโre looking for the most faithful to the book page for page and not interested in how good the film is in itself. It has a Lifetime made-for-tv feel; more of a biopic less a visual horror. Performances were meh.
