4.0

Overall a great version of the classic movie you know and love, with a well-executed if a bit underbaked subplot about infidelity, class and insecurity in vacation towns. There’s a whole segment that isn’t in the movie regarding Hopper and Brody’s wife that makes the bizarre dinner sequence from the movie make a lot more sense. 

Overall fantastic - less explosive than the movie but a bit more compelling from a pacing perspective.
