I’m sceptical of remakes, but this new version of Cape Fear is incredible – and terrifying

Snippet:
I’m always sceptical of a TV series that stretches out a film-length story to 10 episodes, but this new adaptation of John D. MacDonald’s 1957 novel The Executioners – which was first made into a 1962 film starring Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck, and again in 1991 starring Nick Nolte and Robert De Niro – is a slick, clever update of the original.
