Exactly and its not like the original is even very dialogue heavy, the whole movie is two boys and their mother at home, shouldn't be hard to read subtitles, its not game of thrones dialogue heavy.
I did not see the original (yet) so have nothing to judge this one on. I thought it was pretty good and it was fun watching each of my family members figuring things out. I do like Naomi Watts in anything she does.
@@IMDJGAMEPLAY Fair. But my hopes for this one remain low. I feel like they're only doing this because Americans won't watch a movie with subtitles, but the remake is going to be watered down with the studio sauce and miss what made the first one so special. We'll see.
@@ElysiaBrenner That goes without saying. I never understood the not watching a movie because of subtitles thing at all. I assume people that went to school, know how to read, so why be so resistant and/or lazy? They should put in hardcoded English subtitles in anyways, just to mess with the American audiences.
The original Austrian film was perfectly executed in its direction, setting, and performances, including those of the children. The trailer demonstrates that it already falls short in those respects.
@@jamiwright6136 At the very least both The Ring and Funny Games are very good movies on their own. The reason of why i don´t trust this one is because it feels like a shot for shot remake (sort of the psycho 1998 effect) and i do not need that.
@@violenciariba666 Exactly, shot for shot remakes are the absolute worst. Take the movie and make it your own at least, change it up, feels so pointless watching a beat for beat remake of a movie you've already seen but just in a different language. As much as i dislike Rob Zombie's Halloween he at least made it his own and i wasn't watching John Carpenters Halloween again but with new actors.
If Naomi Watts is involved it'll be good she was in the all the Great Horror Remakes: The Ring and Funny Games. And Funny Games was made exactly a year after the original, and it will give English speakers a reason to watch the original.
The twins in this new movie don’t seem as believable, and it’s not necessarily ther fault. In this Trailer they run up screaming “mommy” no boy that age would ever call his mom mommy, the original film the twins were very believable
R for just some language? That does not seem like a good thing. The original is not the most violent movie ever, but the climax is pretty gruesome and add to the creep and disturbing factor. Plus, the kiddos don't seem as intimidating or as believable as the ones from the original. I guess we'll see, but I doubt it will capture the eeriness and unsettling atmosphere of the spectacular original movie. I love Naomi Watts, though.
Shaking my head. This is THE perfect example of "Americanizing" (a slick, worse knock-off) an already brilliant film that has no business being remade.
Oh dear God they didn't need to remake this! America stop! Come up with our own stories! And it's another European thriller/horror movie that's remade with Naomi watts (funny games was the other one) just noooo.
It was a waste of time, what's worse is that I thought this was the original when I saw it on Amazon thinking "finally, a platform did it" and was left confused in where's all the cruelty many talked about there'd be? I already know how it ends, so I guess there'll be no surprises if I see the OG… damn 💀
This isn't a bad film. It's just that it's pointless. It was never going to be as good as the original, given the change in tone it was subjected to. The twist in the original I never got until the end, but here it's repeatedly telegraphed, until halfway through the film the game is given away. Combined with the absence of the original's gruesomeness factor, you're left with a film that's absent of tension or surprise. The acting is good in it. Naomi Watts and the kid actor in it deserved a more interesting film. There's one positive, however. I watched this just after watching the original for the first time, so at least it's shone a light on something that had escaped my attention before.
i watched this and read all the comments about this being a remake etc. so i watched the trailer for the original film...........its safe to say ill probably have nightmares now because of the original trailer. 😆. i love horror films so i will to watch the original for sure. i love Naomi Watts but her one looks too tame.
Just watched the original couple of weeks ago, great movie, ambience and nice plot as well, it didnt need a remake at all, and that soon, but I love Naomi, she's fierce, and I'll watch it. But its the same case as 2007 spanish "REC" - AMAZING found footage horror that didnt need a remake AT ALL, bu t they came and made QUARANTINE, which is OK but doesnt come close to the original movie, Jennifer Carpenter on the other hand nailed it. amazing perfomance. I think the result will be pretty similiar in this one. let's us wait and see. in any case it will bring light to the original, which is always a good thing :D
The boy literally says "why did you throw away my DRAWLING?" and the final editors left that in. He said it twice at that. Someone teach that child the proper way to use English.
@Vipermoon just seemed like he isn't young enough to talk like a toddler, BUT I can see them trying to make him appear more innocent/young by having him talk like that I guess. Might as well have him say gah gah goo goo... ABC.. 1-2-3. Yayyyyyyyyy!!!!!
Amazon exec "Hmm yeah, this austrian movie is pretty good, but what if they talked like, normal? Time for a remake...ooh what about the little boy from they boys!"
I hate when foreign films get remade because a majority of English speakers are too stupid/stubborn to watch the (usually better) og film with subtitles
That's not why I hate that. I hate foreign movies being remade because people will assume the remake is original and will praise the remake without knowing that the original exists
It doesnt look terrible but the fact it is being made is kinda dumb as the original (even tho in a foreign language) doesn't have much talking in it and is not hard to watch. Just watch the original.
I thought this was going to be one of those old trailers for something that had been out for years.......nope just a remake By the way one of the twins is dead......like i said films been out for years.......
I love Naomi Watts, I do, but this movie doesn’t need to exist I didn’t even see the original and I know more about that so was another comment or set if they do something completely different with the ending then I think it will be good others than that no.
Remakes are not done because the originals are faulty, but because people are running out of ideas. I'm just shocked Hollywood too so long to ruin another great movie. Poor Naomi, an actress of her quality should at least have the well done decent remake, with the original role. Not this lame Freddy-Kruger/Halloween horror version.
Did this really need a remake? The original is available to watch and its not even 10 years old, Is subtitles really that hard to read? and theres also dubbing, feels so unnecessary to do this entire movie again beat for beat but just with the english language. And its not like the movie is that reliant on dialogue anyways, the original is creepy and atmospheric with few words.
oh my god. not every film needs a remake. it hasnt even been 10 years for gods sake
I know. But did you know that they’re remaking the danish film another round? And DiCaprio is starring in it.

Yeah
I watched this one before the original one and trust me This version is way better

No way this is gonna be superior to the original movie 👀👀
I'm with you Wellington
What's original
Original movie please?
if people learn to read subtitles, remakes like this will never happen

the austrian one was great and i swear it came out less than 10 years ago haha. just watch that one!
I've never heard of the original, just watched that trailer, and it's so much more creepy than this one. This one feels like a PG-13 version.
It's rated R "for some language" so it might as well be PG-13
Why did they disable comments on the slumberland trailer?
Jesus talk about a movie that did not need an English remake
Rated R - For some language
So they definitely took out the "scene".
It's Homelander's son.

Hey, I just wanted to say this is a remake just in case no one's said it already...
Never heard of the director. Just watch the original guys, its great...
Pretty sure that they did this remake because the original was so good and so many people haven't seen it because it's foreign 🤔 great movie though.

Maybe in this version the twist won’t be obvious from the first ten minuets... doubt it though.

Wait i remember this one !

Homelander Junior - Origins
