i keep harkoning back to one point ...
consider the majority in the movie going demographic ...
they are young people who for the most part have not seen the origionals.
most of the people an this board are interested in horror enough to have seen everything - old and new - but if you take a look around you - you'll see that we are the minority.
Hollywood is a business where fortunes are made and lost faster than on the stock market.
Fim makers cannot as a rule afford to take risks so they follow profitable trends ... follow established formulas.
For every jaded film fan there are 1000 sheep who will flock to see anything new thats well marketed.
I dont blame Hollywood ... why would a company throw money aeway making films for a tiny minority ???
I'm not saying this is ideal, its very sad .. but realize where the blame should be laid, and appreciate even more the great films that were made despite the risks, or the good films that are clever and well made eneough to please both the drones and the 'elitists'
