This is one of those movies that profits from very low expectations. If you go in expecting something dreadful, be assured: It's only near dreadful.

This new version is an almost scene-for-scene remake, which is good news in the first half and bad news in the torpid second.

A disastrously miscast remake of the 1976 horror classic, which retains the apocalyptic themes of David Seltzer's original script but renders them dull and fright-free.
