I tend to agree with this. i wouldn't say either were that great, probably rate the remake at a five, but seeing as how I'd give the original a 3 It's maybe more a case of the remake not being quite as bad as the original. There's a tendency to look upon every horror film produced in the 70-early 80s through rose tinted glasses when it's clear that not everything released during that era was exactly golden. For every 'Basket Case' or 'Martin' or 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' there were a dozen 'Terror Train's.
