After hearing all the hype about the series made from the novel, I have to say I have been left feeling ripped off & very very disappointed. After growing up watching & loving the original film of the same title & the incredibly haunting music score that went with it, I am lost for words at how this remake could go so wrong. The acting is terrible & the psychedelic filming of some of the scenes & the 'music' if you can call it that, is a joke. I thought seeing as there are 6 episodes that it would at least give some background of all the inhabitants at the school & why they are there leading up to the finale where the girls go missing but nope, afraid not.. I struggled to get through even the first episode, I cannot imagine how I will tolerate the next 5. I found it lacking, boring & trying way to hard to be something it isn't & compared to the original film will not bother watching more than a few episodes & will instead go back & enjoy the mystery & haunting original film. The costumes, scenes & landscape are so beautiful but everything else is a total let down.
