It is a long time since i watched the original but i don't recall it bring much different to the remake. To be fair if i watched them now i might prefer the original as i want so open minded with world cinema back then. Neither are masterpieces but with a watch. As for the films mostly judgmental tone i just think its a somewhat cumbersome way of trying to make the audience complicit in the horrors onscreen. Something done far better when subtle.
