It is disturbing to think people think the remakes are original horror films. Surely Hellraiser is being remade just to show nothing is sacred to this remake machine. If there was any other motive to them besides making a cheap buck I would give them more of a chance. But its like they can't be bothered to fund innovative new projects in place of big budget remakes that just seem to waste money and add nothing to the originals. The remake of I spit on your grave is just torture porn and though im personally against that trend I still think there are better torture porn flicks if that happens to be your thing.
To try and say something positive-James Cameron has given financial backing to the ultra brave Del Toro to film Lovecrafts At The Mountain The Madness. Even Cameron recognises remakes are killing the cinema and has put his money where his mouth is by giving this difficult project the backing it deserves. I hope more film directors do this. I'm disgusted by Romero I never thought he would rip off Argento.
