Oh, remakes, where to begin?
I think about remakes quite frequently because of the slew of horror films being remade (thank you, Platinum Dunes
).
It's not that I am opposed to them because obviously there are some films that can stand to be remade and if a remake's good, it gives you a new way to enjoy a classic, but why did they have to touch my beloved An American Werewolf in London?!?! I was very pleased that the Rosemary's Baby and The Birds remakes got canceled last year, so I'm hoping that the same happens for AAWIL because some movies just shouldn't be touched (sadly it's too late for Psycho). I'm holding onto hope for A Nightmare on Elm Street and Poltergeist to be at least decent.
I also wish that foreign films wouldn't be remade for American audiences only a year or so after release.
I'm going to try to compile a list of all the upcoming horror remakes, so I'll definitely post if it comes together.
