1997 or 2008 Either way they're both by the same director and the remake is shot for shot. I think Michael Pitt was a gorgeous (and very sinister looking despite the charm) as Paul. Naomi Watts earned a little of my respect, as well as Tim Roth, and I enjoy the fact that, despite people's over-concerns about involving children in violent movies, the young boy didn't mind, and his parents (who obviously had to sign his contract) didn't object either. It's abit respectful and keeps some form of style by not being 100% graphic and grotesque. Yes, there's the blood splatter from when the boy is shot dead, which I think makes it feel more. ... appreciated and shocking, as opposed too, "Oh gee, more blood, wow *eyeroll* " Totally love this film, could watch it over and over. I also love the comment about preserving moral decency. biggrin
