I used to really like this movie but rewatching it now I really didn't?

This is supposedly a remake to the original, set in the 70s as well, but it doesn't include anything else from the time frame? What I like about the original is how deep it is along its horror! So this one just feels like a very barren copy. In this way the 2006 prequel The Beginning is actually better: the family is more interesting, the contest…
