Ah, it's not very good. But at the time it was kind of a novelty, bringing European slasher standards to an American horror film.
I dunno about the comparisons to the 2009 film. They had so many more resources, and so many more sources of inspiration, only to produce that beer-commercial-slick junk. Maybe it's (I think this is the right term) engineered in a superior manner. But it's talented people with middling intentions, versus the original's talentless architects with a bit more ambition.
