I agree some things shouldn't be redone. But I back a lot of remakes strictly to bring the classics to a fresh audience. I am perfectly happy seeing a remake of Hellraiser as long as it does Pinhead justice. It needs to be visceral. It needs to make your stomach turn and make it hard to sleep. I grew up watching low budget and classic horror movies with my dad. I saw every Hellraiser that went to theaters the day it came out. I watched The Toxic Avenger with my dad when I was six. The problem is, if you take the original Hellraiser and throw it up on a HD TV, the younger generation will immediately lose interest because it doesn't look good. At the end of the day, if the younger generation cant grasp classic horror and we don't introduce it to them in a format that they can appreciate we will slowly see the extinction on good, dirty, real horror and all that will be left is Paranormal Activity...
Rant, done.
