I don't mind remakes, some of them are good, and some even better than the originals... what I have a problem with is that almost every single horror movie these days is a remake.
But, to be fair, it's getting pretty hard to come up with a completely original story line. The horror universe has pretty much been explored in any thinkable way, and so any attempt of making an original horror movie will be met with complaints about how it's ripping off the Exorcist or how it's a weak immitation of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... and definitely the usual "in the OLD days, they knew how make REAL horror movies!". So what do they do instead? They remake the old classics, since there is no competing with them anyway. Us horror fans are hard critics, and maybe in a way, we're actually getting what we asked for.
