This doesn't interest me, since I didn't like the first movie. |

The face of a drowned woman, Catelyn thought. Can you drown in grief? She turned away sharply, angry with her own frailty. She had no time for the luxury of self-pity. | |

Not really. If it had been a "remake" we would have gotten the first 2 minutes of the movie dragged out over the entire movie, in my honest opinion. It wasn't really a "remake" of the first movie, but more a reboot with ideas taken from the first 4. Can't argue with you there. I always considered The Thing more of an adaptation though. Being they both derive from the same story, with The Thing being closer to the source material. I think there's a difference between "remaking" and "adapting" a story. |

There are certain rules one must abide by to successfully survive a horror movie

I think that it's a little too soon to make a remake but despite that I'm intrigued in seeing what they come up with. |

So if you remake one movie its a remake, but if you remake four its a reboot? I know that the definition of "remake" is: "In film, a remake is a motion picture based on a film produced earlier. The term remake can refer to everything on the spectrum of reused material: both an allusion or a line-by-line change retake of a movie." Nothing about any of the horror movies called "reboots" or "reimaginings" contradicts that. Shot by shot remakes like Psycho are an exception; most remakes are very different and always were. "Re-adaptation" at least makes sense. |

To me a remake is when you do the same exact story with some, but not many, changes. A reboot is usually when you start over from the very beginning but go somewhere COMPLETELY different with the story, usually in order to create a new continuity (like the latest Star Trek or James Bond movies movie series). And a re-imagining basically is when you take the basic premise of the original and do everything else completely different: different characters, different events, different everything. (I actually group Sorority Row into this category for example) So all I am saying is going by my perception of terminology they are better going the reboot or re-imagining route. And that is my last word on the subject. Because this is really not worth arguing about at all. Given everyone words things differently. Edited by Cman710, Apr 22 2014, 01:08 AM.

Not trying to badger you. These terms just annoy me because they were created by money grubbers to hide behind the fact that what they were making wasn't original. If you're going to remake something, at least own up to the fact that you're remaking it. And yeah, they should definitely go the "something different" route. We don't need another laugh riot about a horrifying disease infecting rapists. |

Jersey boy for life!

Remake, reboot, reimagining, it's all the same to me too. But damn, has it really been twelve years since the first Cabin Fever? That said, they're remaking a film that's only twelve years old? |

Oh I get that you weren't trying to. I just have a tendency to argue so I was stopping myself before I built to that. Lol And most definitely. Though I do wonder what that will entail. |
