Oh My God did this movie kick ass, and it was scary as Hell!
I would have to say even better than the origional, and some of the scenes blew me away,
most def a see for horror fans..
How does it compare, related to the '73 original? I'm so far not interested as the original has been out, seen for so many years and I don't need to see it again.
That's also new to me. BTW the director's cut of the original is worth checking out if you haven't already because it includes a few previously edited out scenes, like the freaky looking "spider walk" where Linda Blair walks down the stairs on all fours with her head on backwards.
