This one is down there among the all-time clunkers of misbegotten tripe that should never have been made (IMO)

I've found that
very few remakes (like the 'new' Firestarter or the 'new' Carrie, etc.) are worth investing even 5 minutes. I live in dread that some maroon will remake classics like Casablanca (Barb Wire doesn't count and that was actually fun, if cheap), the Thin Man
(HERESY!!!) , The Maltese Falcon, or the like.
