I wouldnt call the original boring exactly...sure it had its fill of sex and nudity, but it was a genuinely atmospheric movie. The surrealness was gripping, and thats what the remake lacked.
Plus, Nicholas Cage disappointed. I would much rather see a lesser fancied actor in that role, who could have done better.
Cage...I dont know...that role didnt fit him. Or rather his screen persona, for that matter.
