i think my conclusion is - fuck it - go ahead and remake them .. if they are bad or not the generate revenues and build interest in the genre.
The problem lies in the difference...making a movie and making a GOOD movie...

Remakes can be fine, hell I loved the remake of Dawn of the Dead more than the original...thats the way how you remake a classic...

As long as remakes are made, there will always be an initial audience, maybe not much expectations but for the sheer curiosity value which it will generate...the sustenance comes from THAT difference I mentioned above...if its good, it ll remain in the memories "heck the remake of Dawn was on par with the original", but if its bad people will forget it and come out feeling they have been robbed...
