I hate remakes! I was sick when i heard they were making a new version of The Exorcist... Are there great differences between psycho 1960 and 1998 versions? I have only seen the 1998 version :(

Oddly enought the Psycho remake was supposed to be shot exactly like the original - frame for frame - scene for scene - word for word. They even kept the "mistakes" from the original.

That's why it's on my hated remakes list.

I'm not sure what the point was in doing that, but it might make for a good film student study I guess.

I actually liked Scream, but as someone said, it's a satire. I remember Ebert (the movie review guy - I know, who cares what he says) in his review of Scream saying that usually when a genre satires it's self, it spells the end of the genre. With movies like "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Valentine", "Urban Legend", "Scary Movie" etc. I got scared that he was right and Horror was going to die. (I'm not knocking those movies). I think Wes said Scream was supposed to rebirth the horror genre, but it just gave birth to these low-intensity copies. Thank goodness (or darkness) the intensity in horror is still alive.

The Thing was a good remake and not to say that all remakes are shit. Just why remake perfect movies like TCM and DotD

I hate the majority of remakes, they make me sad for some reason

All though my favorite movie is a remake(THe Count of Monte Cristo) hah

I hate remakes and movie versions of TV shows! WTF!

Why did they even bother with Texas Chainsaw 2003 when the original still holds up? You can't replace Gunnar Hansen!

I and some of my writing buddies think that Hollyweird has honestly run out of ideas. So they decide to rehash something or make Love Boat - The Movie because there's a built in audience (where?, I have no friggin' clue!)

It's time to bring back hardcore horror, no more of this non-original watered down crap! If people are offended and can't handle it...GREAT! That's what's so damn cool about horror!

Well obviously "Scream" wasn't supposed to be a serious horror movie, but that shouldn't change the fact that Wes Craven accomplished what he wanted with the movie. I LOVE the first one. I've seen it over 50 times probably and could see it another 50 more. Now the trilogy part of it is a different story.
