Avoid the "Deep Red" remake

If you bothered to scroll down there's a few links stating that it's a dead project.

There's plenty of solid remakes that aren't "poor quality releases". Let Me In was excellent.

If you bothered to read my post I stated my source which has been updated from post production to announced 2011 release in the US. Consequently the Suspiria remake has been taken down it appears that's the project that has been shelved.

"Your source" is what I was talking about scrolling down from.

.... it's won't be going ahead with Romero anyway.

Right I get it-it was the dig at Romero that upset you-on dario argentos bio page's link it still has Romero down as involved with this that was where specifically I was getting the information not your link. Therefore I sincerely hope that Romero came to his senses finally. Still avoid the film tho lol :)

Honestly, I would prefer directors just make their vision of a horror movie without having to rely on the name/characters of a certain film. But, as we all know, that would require studios to be willing to take more chances instead of going after the easy money.

I just think that decent horror can be made with a very low budget-the studios don't need to finance a huge amount of money. All this money spent on remakes could be given to many directors to bring their vision to screen. The likes of "Session 9", "The Call Of Cthulhu", "Mulberry Street", "Mortuary", [Rec] and "The Orphanage" etc all prove that fresh and exciting horror ideas don't need to cost the earth and are cheaper to fund than the remakes plus they can even make more money in the long term as such films gain a cult following similar to the films that are being remade therefore ensuring good dvd sales. I'm just frustrated with the remake bandwagon (not if they offer something new which the original didnt which I have yet to see) which personally I think is killing creative horror.

I will whole-heartedly agree with this.
