This is a PG rated Disney horror film so my expectations weren't real high, yet I was still let down by this boring piece of crap. The acting was fine but like I said, the movie was just boring. The plot, villain and circumstances were not enough to keep me interested whatsoever.

I thought it was "ok"...although I saw it at age 12 or 13...but,

i remember being let down when i saw this as the Ray Bradbury book is my favorite of all time. 90% of it was left out of the film to simplify things for the average lumpen movie goer.

Agreed there. I've read the book (actually after I saw the film) and it's a far cry from what they put in film...some of the best elements were completely forgotten, it seemed. Why Disney picked it up before any other companies saw it's potential is strange to me...

This is an excellent choice for a movie to be remade.

I wouldn't even call it a remake, the first one was so empty and "pg" that I'd just call a more well done movie more like a REAL adaptation than a remake...if they worked with it properly, they could make it terrifying. Would you want to see it modernised or changed in some way? I think it might not suffer too badly from a few updated elements, but keeping close to the actual story...but yeah, what you'd label it as aside, I would love to see another, fuller film.
Any good? I've picked it up and dropped it at the video shop numerous times, as it looks like complete trash...is it worth a weekly hire?
