As a 12 or 13 year-old I found the original movie pretty menacing, but at the time I also happened to be in love with Patricia Neal (I fell in love with movie stars easily in those days), so my smitten condition may have taken some of the edge off.

I won’t go to see a menacing movie, because I don’t want to be frightened, so I am not the audience for this. Nevertheless I vote for the older poster because I think it does the job.
