in my opinoin it should be a remake of last house on the left. now there was nothing wrong with the old one, but it should be redone. for our generation.

Remakes deserve to never ignorantly destroy the integridy of the horror genre.

Remakes and prequels and sequels are what's killing the great film genre. I see the original or look for something new.

A remake should only be carried out if it is certain that the original can be improved upon either with better actors,directing or special effects.
With The Last House On The Left this would not be the case.The power and shock value of that movie was the gritty realism,
nastiness and the fact at that time in the seventies this kind of film was unique.
A modern remake would come nowhere near to giving the viewer
such an uncomfortable experience as the original did.
Old movies that required special effects for their entertainment
value are a better bet for a successful remake.

yeahn but half the time the special effects sucked ass. they need redone.

Too many horror movies these use to much Computer effects and not enough make-up effects.

Great makeup effects always more viscaral and I think scarier.

kung-fu-jesus 03-23-2005 01:31 PM

that i agree with, but the make-up should be good.

A lot of those original movies were made during a time when cursing and violence was a huge no-no. So therefore the stories weren't as realistic. So I can understand remaking a much older film and adding all those things so there can be realism. But by the time the late 60's rolled around, Hollywood really loosened up and you could curse, have violence, nudity, the whole bit in movies.

Unless you are adding onto the story or you are taking a bad movie and turning it into something good, there's really no reason to be remaking all these current remakes. And a lot of the remakes today are remakes of really good movies, and there's NOTHING wrong with the originals. A lot of remakes today are just carbon copies of the original only with new actors. Nothing new is being added.
