    Terrible remake
    I actually couldn't even finish this.

    The book (as usually is) the best.

    I know the first film was lacking in alot of areas, but in 1984, I felt they did a pretty good job in terms of effects.

    And the 1984 at least had heart.

    This new one, is like many reviewers have said, is just flat.

    So many thing's they changed were unnecessary, and cheesy.

    And I hate when a film has to add something just for shock, like 9 yr old Charlie getting angry and setting a cat on fire?

    Charlie from the book or 1984 film was a sweet innocent child and would never do this.

    Gotta say after that scene, I was disgusted.

    Alert, modern propaganda
    A character says for a cat IN A PRAYER that it is he or she or matlybe even they. This propaganda needs to stop. This was an insult to religious people and also an insult to any intelligent people. They keep forcing it because of the few mentally ill people. Normalizing it in movies would just make your movie flop, there are still few of us sane that won't put up with your stupid propaganda. Science says there are 2 genders and that will never change no matter how you feel about it. I won't comment on the movie because it doesn't deserve a comment, people should avoid it at all cost. Let's all rate this movie 1.
