if you've seen the original then this is NOTHING LIKE IT. in a very very VERY good way though. the story's basically the same as the original (group of friends arrive at a shack in a forest and accidentally let demons loose who try to kill them and eat their souls) and is surprisingly in-depth, but they made it a lot more gory and actually shit-yer-pants scary at times. easily one of the best gory movies i've ever seen and certainly the best horror remake i've seen. if you haven't seen it - GO AND SEE IT NOW. i warn you though; it's rated 18 for a good reason.
