the remake of psycho was HORRIBLE. just putting that out there..
as far as the omen, it wasnt bad. i liked the original way more. they just basically did everything in the movie the same, which isnt fun. if you remake it, change something at least a little, not too much, but a little. the kid was cute though.. just like the kid in the original. evil kids are fun.

i would offer that the remake of psycho wasnt horrible - it was just the most extreme example of 'unneccessary' i could ever imagine. it was shot from the same script - the direction was the same, the performances were good .. there was just no need for it. the omen suffered from a much limper performance from the stars - most noteably Thewlis - who should have been perfect for the roll but someone decided to change the entire thrust of his character. |

Yes, I think saying "The Psycho remake was shit" has next to no validity whatsoever. It wasn't shit at all - people who say so are confusing outrage with artistic failure.
Agreed on The Omen - it wasn't a bad remake at all, but the performances, for the most part, didn't cut it (Thewlis particularly).

i though it was perfect casting .. he can play a nasty little bugger like the best of them.. but they changed the part - he wasnt a nasty character at all in this version .. |

i still think the remake of psycho is horrible. thats the only version of the movie that one of my friends has seen and she doesnt believe that its not the original.. thats pretty bad.

I loved the original. Great atmosphere, superb acting and as someone has already stated, the musical score is amazing.
The remake...not too good. Not only was it a tad redundant as the new Damien was not half as scary. He looked like an annoyed and annoying brat more than the son of Satan |

yeah, but why do they need to remake them to put them out for a new audience? couldnt they just release special editions and maybe.. like they did with grease, put it back in the theater for a bit to reintroduce it? i mean, i dont see how remakes are putting it out for new audiences because.. then the new audiences are misinformed of how great a movie really is if they only saw the remake.
