I found this awful....i kept thinking about the fantastic original film, i couldn't help it because the storyline was pretty much copied. The actors were very unconvincing and i didn't care what happened to them (unlike Shelly Winters in the original), the script was very basic throughout with one liners like 'there must be another way out' or 'quick the waters rising' all said without much conviction, i'm afraid i didn't feel for any of them at all. Very very poor re-make IMO, i wouldn't recommend it unless perhaps you hadn't seen the original.
I have to say as a fan of the original and the actors in this sequel I thought it would be better.
It was watchable as I put in the ratings but there was definately something missing. In the original you got into the characters and cared if they lived or died but I didnt feel the same here.
But on the plus side there are great special effects and it certainly delivers some tense moments.
