What do you think about the idea of remaking horror? Terrible and should never happen? Go for it? Good, but some movies can't be remade? Personally, I'm always for seeing a remake happen. If it sucks, the original is still there. If not, yay <3 Another good movie, even if it doesn't always top the original. I just wish that all remakes had effort put into them, rather than just soullessly cash in on the original. That said, plenty DO have real effort and ARE great though <3 |

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

You basically summed up my thoughts. I think they're all cash-grabs, some of them succeed some of them don't. I'm glad RZH script was different from the film, because it was terrible! Def. a cash grab/weird ass script. Surprised that the remakes I love, people hate. |

I would definitely contest the idea that all remakes are cash-grabs. I mean, in one sense they are (As all movies are cash-grabs) However, THHE remake clearly was not JUST a cash-grab. They put effort in and wanted to make a good movie. The ANOES Remake, on the other hand, is just soulless and a cash-grab with no effort. That's the kind I'm against (Though you can't really tell until it's made so...) |

Yeah, I love a good fun remake like SR. In general though, I prefer more brutal, dark, realistic, and twisted ones <3 |

i have seen alot of good remakes, i used to feel that they were pointless and stupid, but the last couple of remakes i have seen have proven to be really good, so i would say i'm am definitively up for remakes, like the upcoming Evil Dead remake

Preach! The SR remake was just amazing. And that song emergency! We need more films like SR. I actually would prefer some more original horror films ideas like hates/the apparition (even though that was a bad grudge rip-off) it would be nice to see some ideas people can come up with instead of remaking every 80's flick they stumble upon. Even though the ED remake looks amazing. |

I think that there's nothing wrong with remaking films, and some are very good. |

Plus "original" films can come out of remakes. Train, for example, started as a Terror Train remake. It ended up more like Hostel on a Train though, but is definitely better than TT and would loosely qualify as original |
