Oh, you know what? I hate rating films with numbers; that is why I avoided rating this one. I liked it enough to see it again. If you never saw the first film (which I did), I think you would be mesmerized with this one and on the edge of you seat. I still found it suspenseful and I did know the plot well; although, I was not quite sure of the ending or whether the new screenplay would adhere to the older one. I think the filming is great and this adds a lot to the pyscoholigical aspects of the film and characters....not too sure what to rate it really...I am still thinking about that; I want also to see it a second time. I think it is quite artistic, in setting and camera angles and colors. Of course, both actors are terrific too, but it is one of those unique plays, with only two characters, so how can one rate it? You either love those kind of films or hate them. They are very much like a stage play and this I do like. They are intimate and yet in this one claustaphobic in a way at times. I liked this aspect of it very much but some may not.
OK. :) I already knew the plot, but I have not seen the original either. Maybe I did in "passing" when I was a kid. This a film that my brother enjoyed. So maybe at some point he was watching it and if I sat down to watch the original, some scenes would come back to me. Know what I mean?
