Rabid Beaver I agree on this guys take on the whole subject. Fresh new angles can also bring newer horror fans back to the originals. But what about people who grew up with (or are fans of) the originals? Shouldn't a remake also have some sort of appeal to those people, too? Why alienate fans of the originals just to please a younger generation which is unfamiliar with those stories?

I hate remakes when they take a good creey old movie and make it suck, or when they have a good Asian Horror, and then we remake it and we lose all the psycological horror.

i think it depends on the movie how good a remake is. for example i just watced a few hours ago the 1998 remake of Psycho. I thought it was a ok remake cause it followed to story very good from the origonal black and white film for what i watched(i started watching at the shower sene).

There are very few remakes that are any good but if you really like the original, you might give it a chance. I think its always interesting to see who is casted in the roles and comparing different styles of approaching a character's persona. If a remake sucks then it just sucks it doesnt in any way ruin the original.

I did this presentation on alfred hitchcock for one of my classes one time. that shower scene is still one of the most memorable scenes in a hitchcock film because its wasnt even that there was an extreme amount of gore it was great filmmaking. The simple insinuation of horror and marion's vulnerability in the shower where you wouldnt expect anyone to sink so low as to attack you in such a manner....I love that scene.

it is all about hit or miss. it depends on the talent of the people who are going to work on the movie.

It really does depend on how the remake is done, sue of actors, staging all that if it gives the same effect of the horror and suspense as the original; then i think its fine.
If the remake does not do the original justice then no its not worth the time or money people spend making it and then watching it.
All depends on the job done by the film-maker...
STRICTALLY opinion....

I think some remakes are ok. Like 'The Hills Have Eyes' remake, I thought, was even better then the original(except for Ruby dieing).
But film makers today are all about the blood and guts and gore, which gets a little old after awhile. stare

Did anybody see the remake of the Last House on the Left? Was it any good?

I'm not a fan of them. To this date, I have only seen one horror remake that I actually enjoyed, Willard, which would have sucked without Crispin Glover's remarkable performance.

Some remakes are good and some are a major turn off.
