I don’t believe any movie should be re-made. What was wrong with the first version that someone feels the need to bring it up to date? Let’s go make some money off a movie that did well in the past, because we do not have enough faith in our own creativity to create something worth watching. With that said… I wouldn’t want any of my favorite movies re-made. However, I do watch re-makes, because I fall prey to curiosity.
some movies don't deserve to be remade, other you can figure might be better updated. I was pissed when i heard The Last House on the Left was being remade because I thought the original was horrible. on the other hand, i just finished the Sleepaway Camp trilogy and i wouldn't mind seeing those films get updated.
why do you think Halloween got remade? movie executives (The Weinsteins?) saw a money maker. It has horror genre fans, it has Halloween (both movie and holiday) fans. and it also introduces a new generation to Michael Myers.
I have the Friday the 13th box set, yet I made a special 90 minute trip to a good theater to see Friday the 13 opening night....and I loved it. (granted, it was considered a 'reboot' as it combined elements of Friday 1-4.
....i also fell prey to the curiosity of the remake. I may or may not have found a copy of The Last House on the Left remake online and watched it. not nearly as brutal as the original.
