Yes, this is a remake, and the original is much better. Scout Taylor-Compton - who told her she can act? This is the second horror film I have seen her in, and she is just awful.
As far as the movie goes, not bad, definitely NOT the exact same story as the original, nor does it end the same. Taylor Cole does a pretty good job, but I think she was about the only one in the whole movie who seems to know how to actually act.
The original is definitely a better watch.
