I have no problem with remakes...Sure, most can't touch the originals...Is it because they're BAD, or just that the originals are so GOOD? Personally, I think The Blob just keeps getting better and better, while I don't believe anyone can outdo the 1978 version of Body Snatchers (with Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldenly), which happens to be a REMAKE.

It's simply a matter of opinion based on personal preference. I do believe that each movie (even a remake) should be judged on its own merits.

Would we prefer if they just gave these remakes a different name, and we referred to them as 'rip-offs' instead (IE: Friday The Thirteenth and Bloody Murder)?

Remakes don't replace originals...We simply have MORE of something that's related to what we like...I am thankful for that...I would rather have a few sequels or remakes to my favorite movies, than to just see them end completely...I also like adding to my collection.

So, while I would appreciate some originality (who wouldn't?), and I have found a bit in some independent gems, I really don't mind watching a few remakes of the 'good ones' in the interim

I am not totally against remakes.

i only have two main reasons why i am not totally up for all thees remakes.

1. i didn't start to really get into the horror genre until 1999 so back then and know it is hard to tell whats a remake and what is not.

2. my second reason is it seems like thats all there doing is making remakes.

it would be nice if they made like 3 remakes a year and leave the rest of the year to do some original moves.

And i know some of you might think that i could just look up what is a remake and what is not. But i just recently started to get into it more then i did back in 1999. So i am going to the older ones to add to my horror move collection.
