Perhaps I'm old school now but the 1987 original had a certain charm to it, gooey effects, a wild script with a band of actors pulling together to bring it to life, for which all with great aplomb.
Rookie Director Jim Muro excelled with his steadicam work capturing every nuanced moment.
Now moving onto Ryan Kruger's remake or sequel or whatever it wishes to be. Despite some lovely little nods to the original, it quickly falls apart, true the effects remain suitable gross but it lacks the sparkle of what made Muro's an everlasting gem.
Poorly scripted with some wild misfires, the storyline is strained with a storyline that pretty much goes nowhere!
I do question why the character of Chef is Jewish when the movie is set in Cape Town, the actor playing Ronald seems to be acting as if he's in another movie, he seems decent enough but he doesn't belong here.
Having been looking forward to this, it'll never be watched again.
