What a pile of rubbish – embarrassing monsters that would have been funny in “Cat’s Eye”, but the film makers lack any sense of that kind of humour. Not a single surprise through the whole film (except the odd “oh no, they can’t be serious… is it really THAT bad???”), unimpressive acting, … hmpf, completely forgettable.

What a disappointment. I’m now not surprised I couldn’t get hold of a review copy for this film. Clearly, they were trying to hide it from criticism. Then again, I wasn’t fond of the original either.
that is true and a bit weird, I have to say: the original was not a good film, I agree, and it did not have elements that shouted out for a remake. Who conceived this to be a good idea?
