Looks to be so close to the original that you wonder why they bothered.

Which, yaknow, whether that's a good or bad thing I have no idea.

Is the original any good? I haven't seen it, but the DVD is really cheap in Sainsbury's right now.

[andrewducker]

It's great. Really worth watching.

I thought it was very good but wouldn't necessarily watch it over and over again. So possibly not one to buy on DVD unless you have a penchant for bleak scandinavian film?

[andrewducker]

I'm not sure either. I guess the people that would watch the original have done so, so any extra people that go to see this version is extra. Can't really complain about that.

I guess also if you want the atmosphere and the story without having to read subtitles? Which is lazy, sure, but I know that while I avoid dubs like the plague I'm not always in the mood to watch a subtitled film?

[andrewducker]

Yeah, I'm the same. I'm fine with subtitles most of the time, but I know that not everyone is.
