Black Christmas remake

[Zombie1]

Any fans fo the original, I loved it, and dont want to see a remake of it, it will prolly suck, it wont have any of the good characters or the suspense as the original, as with most of the remakes so far. I am pretty tired of remakes. and the cast they have doesnt look that good either.

But what do u all think about the original
and what do u think about a remake of this movie

here's a page on it on Bloody-disgusting.com

Positive aspect:

New SE of the original getting released, which means that I'll finally get to see it

Here's the thing:

I'm actually not a huge fan of the original, though it definately had it's moments. However, a remake is not justifiable for this, because I feel like all the parts that did work worked because of the raw, gritty 70s feel/atmosphere/tone/whatever.

This is one, like Halloween and The Evil Dead, that just needs to be left alone.

It belongs in the time period it was created in. Now we need to start creating good time pieces (as far as horror. We've certainly created some good ones in other genres), or our time (us young'uns) will fail to be as significant in horror's history as the rest of a good portion of 100 years.

...or our time (us young'uns) will fail to be as significant in horror's history as the rest of a good portion of 100 years.

I wouldnt say that.

Look at people like you and I; The younger folks that do appreciate good horror films. I assure you that there are plenty of us out there. I think the current sad state of horror films is actually just as inspiring as if there were good films being made. Think about it: We see all the shit that is being passed off for horror, so we go off to fix the genre.

I'd say within 5 years, horror will have a huge resurgence in quality. Films like Silent Hill, though still not on par with the classics, really give me hope for the genre.

I love the original.


***SPOILER ALERT***



I was actually watching this the other day and thinking, "I wonder, if They remade this, how They would play off the phone call thing? like with caller id and such these days, especially."

seriously. if I checked out the caller i.d. and it said the call was coming from a number inside the house (gasp!), then I would leave and there wouldn't be a movie for me to get killed in. and even if they don't have caller i.d., it doesn't take 30 fucking minutes for some jackass in plaid flannel to chase down the call in a room the size of a gym that is filled with machinery; they can now just give it the *69 treatment or some other advent of the digital age.

[Zombie1]

good point Knife Fight, with caller i.d. and *69 and how fast they can trace calls, it will make the phone call pretty much impossible.

Should be seeing trailer for themovie here sometime, I thinks it suppose to come out on Christmas Day of this year I believe.
I might go see it i dont know if i want to waste my money on it, might just wait til it comes out on DVD

If you get the space channel it's on Halloween night.

If any horror movie deserves a remake, it is this one. Mainly for the fact that so few people have seen the original. I know some hardcore horror fans who still havent seen the original.


alkytrio666 makes very valid points though.

[kung-fu-jesus]

what the fuck, are they just remaking every godamn film we mention on this site. they better not do this.

[hypnocil addict]

just ignore the watermarks.

[danyuld]

They do use *69 AND CALLER ID in this film.....the killer will steal the mobile phone of each victim then use it to call the house....... as mobiles can be located anywhere and the residents know each caller....... the mystery deepens with each phonecall....

This film is giving me something to look forward to this Christmas lol the trailer I seen looked pretty good but I believe I will watch the original first if I can find it.
