No they're not, those movies are perfectly intact, if the remakes bother you that much ignore 'em and keep watching the originals. Besides that horror is just like any other genre, a few are great..some are good...alot are entertaining and fun and a shitload are...well, shitloads.

Can understand on some remakes, but I live the UK and the amount of horror that hits the big screen is pitiful.

As such the box office is where the real money is made, the general public just don't go to the cinema to watch horror anymore.

I think that it is crap as if they don't put them on the big screen then HOW ARE PEOPLE TO HEAR ABOUT THEM? You only get horror ads on horror movies in the UK so yet again you won't get the general population hire it on the off chance after seeing the ad.

However if it is part of saga or if its a remake more people are likely to hire it, because its an established name.

exactly what i was going to say - a director can only make a mess of his/her own movie .. not one that came 20 years before....

Agreed! I am so sick of crappy remakes all they do is dishonor the movies before them and cause a whole new generation to forget about something that was great. I could not beleive what they did to The Fog! I wanted to hurt somebody when that was over! I think I'm going to go re-paint the Mona Lisa and market it to a new younger audience.

It is most likely because from when the originals were made they were for us. Now there is a whole new generation of teenagers out there who are the targeted market. Everything is rehashed story-wise, but it is generally only the movie effects that hold these movies together...
