I've never really gotten into shorts but maybe i should. Wanna recommend one?
I hate remakes. They're so pointless. I don't get the whole argument about introducing them to a new audience. The original is still there for the new audience to watch. Its just another way for Hollywood to make money by remaking something they already knew worked.
I'm trying to think of a good remake.
I appreciate what Rob Zombie was trying to do with the new Halloween but it really fell flat, especially since one thing that was so great about Micheal Myers was how he was this emotionless, being (The Shape) that basically had no human side. Zombie humanized him and had you actually feeling bad for him. You're not supposed to feel bad for Micheal Myers!
Let Me In was good IMO but still not as good as Let The Right One In. I still dont even see what the purpose was in remaking that, except of course to profit from it. I also cant think of a time i would choose to watch Let Me In over Right One.
Finding ones i hated is easier:
Nightmare on Elm Street
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Hills Have Eyes
The Omen
Psycho
Im gonna stop now or else this will go on for awhile.
