The 1956 version, was and still is a great movie. It does not have the special effects that today’s movies have and it was filmed in black and white. The movie had a $417,000 budget and was shot in less than 1 month. The movie has become a horror classic with a couple of remakes. Still I don’t think the remake is better than the original, there is something about the 1956 version that can’t be recreated. Some movies are best left alone and no attempts at a remake should ever be attempted.
