Yeah, I only saw the original but not the remake. The original was fantastic, and I heard the remake was pretty great too. I think the thing I like so much about foreign horror films is it just creates so much of a different atmosphere. You get so used to American films with American actors set in America. There’s not so much mystery. But having the film set in Sweden, just the people and the way they look and the architecture and the snow and the darkness, it just brings the whole thing together. That’s why I think Americans respect foreign films so much more. The whole vibe is so different. Scaring people is difficult and it’s easier when you have an approach they’re unfamiliar with.
