When I found this Nineties remake of the timeless 1962 classic "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" I was expecting something really bad. To my surprise, it wasn't bad at all! Sure, it'll definitely never beat the original, but for a more modern version of the story it did an okay job. It's certainly watered down from the chilling performances of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in the original, but at least this remake made an evident effort. The Redgrave sisters and Glover added new faces to the main roles and a modernized soundtrack added a new element to the plot as well. Personally I'll always love the original the best, but as far as remakes go, I've seen worse.
