I really quite like the original film (despite it not living up to its promise) as it asks some interesting questions and it has become something of a cult hit This 2017 version is actually a sequel rather than a remake. Keifer Sutherland will reprise his role from the first film.

Unfortunately the trailer suggest a dodgy Horror rather than a thought provoking Thriller.

We'll see

Was NOT expecting this to turn into a proper horror film in the second half but I was jumping out of my skin in places I was just expecting an ordinary sci-fi/fantasy movie from the trailer but I really appreciated the atmosphere it created in the final act especially. I wasn't prepared for it at all but some of the scenes were so unnerving and eerie (the scene of Ellen Page's death especially) which definitely kept me entertained. I think James Norton was probably the cast highlight of this for me,
~~aside from being insanely hot~~ he was very charismatic and the most endearing character in the film for me.

Overall, it wasn't what I was anticipating at all but I enjoyed what I saw and it certainly gave me a few frights so job well done, I guess

Yeah I enjoyed this for what is was, certainly not befitting of the scathing reviews it's received, though I haven't seen the original which could be a factor there.

And it introduced me to Nina Dobrev which I must thank it for.
