Yes, but when the underlying horror plot for the original is one of the most cliched and generic in the genre, removing the comedy aspect leaves it as just that; the shell that has been seen so many times in so many other films in the genre.

Outside of the gore, the remake was not at all exceptional imo, and was almost completely forgettable. So yeah, if you’re specifically a fan of gore then go for it, but I don’t think a film is worth being elevated in the genre just for having good gore when there are quality horror films that succeed in many different aspects at once.

Yeah, I enjoy the show but fear it will fall to the same problem as LOST; becoming more convoluted with fewer and less satisfying answers if any as time goes on. The direction they’re taking the situation in the finale already is one that is unsatisfying to me.
