...differences between the two Assaults--the new one's pretty good, the old one near great--are of tone, style and perspective. Richet's m??tier is juiced, as edgy as Roenick's psyche; it favors obsessive-compulsive tracking shots and some Dolby rumblings that make the theater shudder like a wooden roller coaster. He gooses the actors to high agitation, except Fishburne, who remains Clyde Cool throughout. Indeed, it seems as if Fishburne is the only member of the company to have learned from the original...

The arrangement is at its best for Laura's wedding scene, where a frighteningly pallid girl sings The Holly and the Ivy around one sinister note, and a scream is heard in the church. Genuinely creepy. The plot's big twist (which...
