I do however love Lysette and I refuse to compare her and Lara, I think they both did lovely intepretations of Angie!
And that's probably the right approach to have when it comes to the original and the '91 DS. As an excerpt from the '05 version of
The Night Stalker that I'd posted back then cautioned (and I wholeheartedly agreed with at the time), it's unfortunate that the inevitable cry is "Sacrilege!" whenever a genre classic is remade, and that all too often people spend way too much time bemoaning the ways in which the new version deviates from what they know and love, and too little time considering whether the new material stands up in its own right. Especially when these very same people are often the first ones to say that if such and such is remade, they hope the remake goes in different directions from the original because they don't want to see the exact same material redone the exact same way. :-
