I prefer the original but both versions were excellent, heart pounding thrillers. Two great thrillers from director Henri-Georges Clouzot were Les Diaboliques and Wages Of Fear. A more modern classic would be Silence Of The Lambs (the last scenes with Jodie Foster groping in the dark with a serial killer inches away was scary).
