Really interested in seeing the Elm Street remake to see what the do differently with the character of Freddy. That would I guess be my main drive at seeing most remakes...
Does it strike anyone else as weird how remakes have become somewhat of a subgenre?

Shame you didn't like the last house on the left remake, I thought it was rather nasty, and had a bit of a different take on the original. Not as bad as some, which I don't need to mention, but the dawn of the dead on is definatley one of the best in modern times.
