I sooooo sooooo have no interest in this remake. The original was one of those basically perfect big horror flicks. I bet it's basically one of those "holy crap I shouldn't have spent the ten bucks" type movies. I know I sound cynical, but as many people have pointed out, remakes have become an actual problem lately. What bothers me the most about this rash of remakes is the rather offensive implication to today's (read: "younger") audiences that the newer films update and replace the original flicks ("Look, we have MTV cutting and modern effects! That makes us cooler, just 'cuz!"). This effectively makes the new audience ignore the original films as if they never existed.
I haven't seen the film, so technically this is a rant, criticizing the trend and not the film, but it seems appropriate.
