How many remakes of The Blob are they gonna do? The 1988 version scared the hell out of me when I was a kid....
The thought of remaking Suspiria makes me cringe because the whole appeal of the movie to me was its cinematography and soundtrack and the fact that my brain was telling me that this movie SHOULD be terrible but by some mysterious alchemy wasn't. If they remake it, it's going to lose that.
Evil Dead? Near Dark?
The freaking BIRDS???


No WAY.

Man, thats some dated info. Suposedly Argento threatened to sue, the Suspiria remake has been cancelled for months. Im not sure if the reason is accurate, but Ive read on many sites that it has been cancelled.

yes "Suspiria" stands cancelled, and producer-director Michael Bay has dropped his intentions of remaking "The Birds"...

cheer up horror fans...:D

I have no problem at all with movies that are 25+ years old being remade, but when movies from the eighties are being remade and especially remakes are being remade it really makes me want to give up on the genre I once loved so much.

Being that it is my handle, I find it puzzling that Cohen would remake his own movie...

That aside, Near Dark will fail because its the same script, The Blob will fail because they won't understand the campiness factor and they'll try and make the blob look scary... The Hitcher might actually be good.

I tried to make this same arguement awhile back, stating that bad sequels do a lot more damage to a movie's legacy than bad remakes, but the majority disagreed with me.

the jury's out on this one ..

i dont think it matters because i dont have to see it.

but - i wonder if bad films (remakes or not) hurt the genre because they will eventually make the horror film unbankable


but then i think ... nahhhhhh ... some people - a lot of people - will pay to see anything and have no concept if the movie is good or not.


i think my conclusion is - fuck it - go ahead and remake them .. if they are bad or not the generate revenues and build interest in the genre.
for every 2 or 3 bad films one will be ok .. for every 5 or 6 one will be good ..

if the 80's non stop unorigional garbage slashers didnt kill the genre then a bunch of remakes wont.
