Some Movies Just Aren't Meant to be Remade!
13 February 2012
The Original "whatever happened to baby jane" was such a classic. it can be considered a timeless classic but trying to make it all modernized just ruins it. this film was completely unnecessary. At least in the early 1960s, they were able to pull this kind of a story off because of the camera angles and the character types. but this film is just annoying especially with the closeup camera angles and the cheap cinematography, and baby jane looks like a clown. the performances were weak by the redgrave sisters, they looked like they did not know what they were doing at all. plus in the original movie, Jane plays a revenge trick on blanche by putting a bird followed by a dead rat on her cover tray which is one of the most famous scenes in all of horror history, in this film, it is a sandwich with worms on it followed by really dramatic music and then cuts off to the next scene..that was not fun at all and nowhere near as exciting as the original....there is absolutely no point in watching this movie so stick with the original classic!
