I think when it comes to remakes the quality of the originals needs to looked at. I think that Craven's Hills have eyes was an interesting story but used cheesy effects and was a little comedic in places. So take the interesting story, step it up with far better effects and a better director in Aja and I see it as a no risk. On the other hand take a master piece like Carpenters Halloween and only bad things can happen.
So remake movies that missed the mark but had potential.

I can't believe there are actually people who prefer the new Dawn over the original. To choose a vapid, special effects romp like the remake over Romero's original leads me to believe that we have people out there with diabetes of the pupils... simply too much eye candy.
