No where near as good as the Hitchcock version (0 more)

Unnecessary remake

Well it has been 80 years since the Hitchcock version, I could understand updating it slightly but this is a pale comparison. Nothing has really changed in the story as such. However the execution is very different. The original version was genuinely creepy and atmospheric, with some scenes that might make you jump. Ms Danvers character was especially good.
In this version it's more of a love story, slowly drawn out with a bit of drama right at the end. It would have been better to keep the feeling of Hitchcock's version. If you haven't seen it, watch that instead.
