Owes much (if not all) to Argento. As a horror fan, it's definitely one of the best in the slasher genre for a while as it takes a unique approach and adopts almost an art house feel.. The use of first person is genuinely unsettling and little Frodo makes a wonderfully deranged psychopath.
As good as the original? Hmmm, similar storyline but a different animal really. Definitely recommended to those who like a little depth with their gore.
