So, which do you like better. Honestly, I can't pick. Both are brutal and it's just the same movie to me, but updated with a new cast and modern stuff.
I guess I'd pick the original if forced, but not a lot of difference between the two, to me. What do you think?

I go with the original, but ever so slightly. I like both movies, but they are brutal in different ways.
The original was more sexually graphic while the remake was more graphic with the violence. I think the original had a bit more impact in it since the daughter actually dies in it, as opposed to her showing up brutalized in the remake.

I can't vote, I've only seen the original and it was a horrible movie. Hated it. I would have broken it... were it not Tomas's.

am going for the original. I have nt seen the remake, but the fact that they remade it in the first place is enough to put me off

Remake edges it because of the better quality of the camera and just updated look. They are so a like and both strong films

Hey, I can vote now! Remake. I'm happy I own that film. The first one still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Both had brutal rape scenes, the first film being more so to me, just based off of the time frame of the movie. For 72, that was pretty shocking. Not that the re-make wasn't, but a 2009 audience was much more desensitized to that type of violence on film than a 1972 audience.

Very true. I think the 72 version also had a much better villain with David Hess. That guy really knew how to be creepy.

Way better villain than the newer one. Some of the scenes in the newer one may have benefited from modern gear, but I still say the tone of the original...given the time frame...wins this one. Feel free to disagree, you'd still be wrong...

I find the older one more effective due to the sexual violence, and the fact that the daughter dies. That I feel gives the parents more motivation to be vicious to their "guests."

But there are just things that Carpenter chose for the film that ruined it for me. The music particularly.

I won't fault you for not liking it. I can totally understand why.

Couldn't get it back to you fast enough, man. But I do like the remake. A good little purchase for $3 used.
