"Flatliners" remake
 

I can't take it! Too many remakes!! Is that all there is anymore? Is there nothing original? WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!?!?!?!??

Okay, sorry my rants over.

yeah, I really don't see where else they could go with the Flatliners idea? I really don't hold out very high hopes for this project.

You gotta be fucking kidding me!!!!! :mad:

Looks like I'm gonna have to get out my flamethrower again. Whoever is responsible for this deserves to be incinerated.

no point even bothering to remake this ?
the movie is good enough as it is.

This is exactly what I have been saying since I came here-remakes are destroying original horror movies by preventing them getting off the ground. If people keep BUYING remakes on dvd then eventually all there will be is remakes being released.

Definitely one of the reasons original movies dont get anywhere. All anyone cares about is making money but a lot of these remakes dont even make that much money so i dont get it. Fright Night certainly hasnt been making a lot of money.

I'm glad Fright Night remake isn't making money-hopefully filmmakers will get the message soon.

We can only hope. Funny thing is later i'm going to go see Don't Be Afraid of The Dark...another remake. I trash remakes all the time but there are some that interest me and this one seems to have done something different. Maybe Flatliners will too, who knows? I just wish there was more of a balance between original movies and remakes coming out. Although i guess that's a little hypocritical of me. I could always see Shark Night or Apollo 18 instead today.....

like you say not all remakes are a bad thing, i think some movies are good to be remade depending on the movie. this one i cant see the point. dont be afraid of the dark is a good one to remake, and it, i think they need a makeover.

The remakes of the 80s were mostly forgotten b-movies-The Fly, The Blob, Invaders from Mars, The Thing-and had a purpose to them. The remakes coming out now are for the sole purpose of making money. Creative filmmakers aren't getting a look in anymore-its killing horror cinema. Thank the gods for stuff like Insidious and Troll Hunter but they are getting fewer and fewer.

Unfortunately Troll Hunter is being remade too........

Forgotten by WHOM? The Fly, The Blob & The Thing are three of the most popular classic films, and are shown frequently on cable and are all available on multiple DVD releases.

Invader's From Mars is a favorite of mine too so i wouldnt say that one is forgotten either...at least not by me.

I'd say 90% of people I speak (away from the horror/sci fi communities) to don't realise that they are remakes of old films.

I should point out that obviously I don't prefer the 80s remakes to the originals (the original Fly in particular is supremely freaky)-but they were at least watchable unlike more recent money oriented attempts.
