4.1/10 on IMDB but 21% of voters have given it a 1/10. I know there was concerns about remaking a cult classic and also because it's been 'whitewashed' - is that the reason for all these bad votes?

I didn't hate it. I liked that they put their own spin on the story, as opposed to just redoing the original.
Frankly the original is really cringe-worthy for most of the series. The stupid potato chip scene alone knocks it down several pegs IMO.
