Oh, this is a painful topic!
Remake the Evil Dead. No, no way, never.
It shouldn't, couldn't, musn't be done.
That film was a benchmark in horror movies. Small budget, small (unknown) cast and imagination and desire by the bucketloads.
See the Texas Chainsaw remake for an example of why it shouldn't ever be done. Ok, the film wasn't that bad but I don't know about you guys but the whole time I was watching it I wanted to be sat in front of my DVD player watching the original.
At the end of the day, remakes are not for the fans, they are for the studios bank balances.
And as I speak, up comes the remake of 'Dawn'...
I shall go to see it. I go to see them all. But it will never change the fact that these ten a penny, chuck money at it till it drowns remakes never outdo the made on a shoestring, blood, sweat and tears originals.
And that's my ten penneth.
Regards.
RFlagg.
