It was fun but the effects are just laughable
it was very entertaining but the ending was really bad...

Solid remake! It's so late 90s with edgy aesthetics and music. Super entertaining and perfectly captured the cheesy campy horror vibe of the original. It surprisingly had less drama and got to the point without wasting time. It's mostly silly but there are some really terrifying imagery and effects where I genuinely scared which I really appreciate. Great setting, I don't know how a mental hospital building looks so good on the outside. For me the CGI was decent enough, it's imaginative, creative and not meant to look realistic. The cast was amazing! Especially Geoffrey Rush, his character made this film so much fun! He's basically the star of the show!
better than the original, but slightly worse than I remembered
It suffers from some wonky effects near the end, but it's a fun update of the William Castle classic.

It is not really a scary movie, although it gets creepy at times. The best thing about it are the little twists that get you every time. Approach it as a somewhat comedy drama horror spoof and you will enjoy it, especially the hilarious back and forth relationship between the grumpy couple with great girl bossiness gold digger bitch acting from Famke. Ignore the ending and the VFX... there are no excuses for that.
