Theres alot of movies coming out that arnt remakes, youve got the same shot with them.
I might be off on what you ment by that. Thats the way it seemed though.
There would be less hatred for remade movies if people DIDNT compare them to the orginals. Thats alot of the problem.
But.........Reguardless of how anybody feels about it, if nothing else its pumping money back into the horror genre.

I can beast explain this with the dawn of the dead. I never knew it was a remake until i seen it the original in my video rental store.
I was meaning to give it a try but never got to it.
I tried watching it on comcast on demand but when i did it just seemed bland to me because the zombeis just seemed to slow. they scar me much more when they run like a bat out of hell.
its just i would like to see the original some times before seeing the remake.
now i do like the dawn of the dead remake over the first just because it scared me more.
now the the amityville horror remake i liked it and i also liked one of the ones before it. but i don't know if it was the first one or not because i heard that there was a lot of remakes on that one.
I liked a lot of remakes except for the fog the ending seamed weird to me
and i never seen the first one.
It just seems to me like thats all they are doing now is making remakes thats all and for the one compliant i think it would be cool to see the original one before the remake if possible.
