I want to believe that it's because it is another remake. I know a lot of people were surprised (and unhappy) about all the gore in the new one, too - but these days it's expected.
[sp]It could also be that they let the daughter live this time - which I admit I'm not thrilled about myself, but oh well. Also, I'd hope that I'm not the only one kind of irked that they let one of the attempted murderers live, even if he wsa the youngest. But I figure they did that because the daughter lived.[/sp]
Also, I think the ending of the new one might have something to do with it - the violence and extreme gore factor there. I wasn't expecting it, but given the character I can't say it wasn't somewhat deserved. And any excuse for badass!Tony Goldwyn, I'll take :lol:
