What stealing a title can do for YOU
13 Ghosts was NOT a remake at all. It was NOTHING like the original, at least not enough to justify them stealing that title.
The original is considered in some circles to be a classic ghost story, whereas the modern one was a disjointed conglomeration of half-baked ideas strung together by a weak story. They had the good sense to steal a title that would generate enough interest to make a few bucks before REAL horror movie fans got wind of the trickery.
It would have been a better movie for me if they had titled it appropriately, because I saw it, expecting a true remake. They could have just as easily stolen another classic movie title: "The Glass House" LOL!
