While critics were divided, many praised the film's execution. The BBC gave it a positive review, calling it a "...gory, stylish, and occasionally scary push-button factory of shocks and shrieks remarkably better than anyone had the right to expect". However, the remake is frequently criticized for lacking the raw, gritty, documentary-like authenticity that made the 1974 original a classic, with some calling it "slick, loud and utterly forgettable". Nonetheless, its popularity with audiences is undeniable, and it has become a cult favorite in its own right.
