No.1794
U know normally I understand and accept the movie industry has no integrity at all and when I see remakes of things I love I'm normally apathetic till I actually watch it. But this…. This fills me with so much rage I wanna tear out my eyes and ears whenever it's retarded trailer pops up
No.1824
I mean, I think it's serving some kind of purpose. Movies like Dracula and Frankenstein are way too important to cinema history to be forgotten, but you're not going to keep them in the public eye with straight adaptations anymore. (There hasn't been an actual major adaptation of the original Frankenstein material in 20 years.)
The name of legends are kept on the marquee, kids get to watch a shitty movie on double dates, and everyone goes away happy and the whole thing is forgotten in 2 years.
Besides, it's not like the exact same thing didn't happen in the 60's and 70's with Hammer. They churned out movie upon movie with the Universal monsters because they had marquee value.
No.1848
The Creature from the Black Lagoon really gets overlooked in all the Universal reboots involving sexy teenagers.
No.1850
>>1794Just ignore it, man. Six months after the premiere it will be forgotten already.
Guess we'll always have the old versions like the ones of Murnau, Herzog or even Coppola's one.
No.1856
>>1824I just feel insulted because I feel the same tone and atmosphere could still sell and even be refreshing for today's general audience. But instead we're fed the same "hunk of the month" blockbuster bulls hit you get from action/comic book movies. I always liked horror cause it strays away from that a little more
No.1860
>>1794I know that feel, bro. I was exactly the same when I heard about Let the Right One In being remade (although I have to admit that for a remake it's actually not at all bad) and the plans to remake The Warriors. That last one
really hurt. Thankfully, though, I've heard nothing about it actually coming to fruition. Mostly because I haven't checked on its status because I don't want to know.
No.1862
>>1860A warriors remake would really suck. But I guess if done right a modern re-telling could be intresting
No.1866
>>1860Let Me In is awful though
No.1889
No.1897
>>1824the hammer films were only good because they had peter cushing and christopher lee in them
otherwise they were average crap on a stick.
