For the time period the original was made, those creature effects were still very terrifying. I re-watched it a few weeks ago, and it holds up even now. I hope they don't stray to far away from the original design. Some new paint applications and today's animatronics should be good enough. [emoji106]
Original is a cool B movie. Weak narrative and meh side characters are its only downsides.
Henriksen did a freakin' awesome job, his absolutely best role and performance.
I wouldn't call it a horror film tho... "A Grim Fairy Tale" tagline was perfect.
The two things that made the original movie great were Henriksen's performance and Stan Winston's monster design. I don't put much faith in remakes, and if this movie incorporates a lot of CGI, that will suck immensely.
