I guess because it's a remake they may not feel they need to build suspense, but that was a big part of the first one, how we slowly discovered what the visitors really were and that they weren't nice. In this one, we know it all up front, so it's just a matter of seeing how they deal with it. That could still be entertaining, but it's missing a part that I think made the first one interesting.
