Yeh? How come? I've always really liked that one and its good to see De Niro not playing a mafia dude for a change. Cape Fear has always made me think Scorcese doing a straight up horror flick would be interesting.

Its definally a pet hate of mine - I love the original so much is prolly part of it and the way everything was very over the top (or hyper real) like the fireworks scene or Cady smoking in the cinema. If it wasn't a remake of one of my favourite films I might have liked it more.
I did like how Cady looked - his character was sorta a mix of the original and his character from Night of the Hunter (the 'religious' diatribes etc).
I do think Mitchum's speech in the original about letting his wife 'work' her way home is really chilling.
