As a huge fan of the 1962 original starring film icons Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, I must admit that I have always been curious about this universally reviled made-for-TV remake. Did this updated version need to happen? Not really. Does it deserve to be scorned the way…
Seannie DarkoNov 21, 2023Absolutely obsessed by how it builds on and subverts the original. It's a sleazier and dirtier version set in a sleazier and dirtier world.

some choices were definitely made here!
•°☽Ash☾°•Apr 8, 2022Fascinating take on the infamous Baby Jane tale that transports the story to the early 90s, a world where old Hollywood is glamourized by gays and drag queens, where Jane tries to find her old movies in a video store, sure it's not as good as the original but it does enough…
Keenan TamblynOct 2, 2018You could say this was an unnecessary remake, but I really did need to see Vanessa Redgrave dramatically leaving a conversation on a stair chair
