Remakes never really bothered me until quite recently after watching The Last House On The Left remake. There's good and bad ones of course and that was one of the ratshit variety. I enjoyed stuff like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Dawn of the Dead remakes when they came out but now they just seem dumbed down to me and kinda pointless. I'd rather see "homages" or something original but I still check out remakes to see for myself just how bad/good they are. 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?
