Seriously?!?!?!?!

Hello Friends,
 
Today is not so much a review as it is a rant, because I cannot let this rest. There are some things that deserve to be left in the past, as it was the only appropriate time for such things to exist.

As I was trolling around on the Internet, I came across a very disturbing list.....Every Horror/Scary movie you ever loved is being remade!!!!! Just to name a few...

Carrie
Child's Play
Frankenstein
Pet Semetary ( I might be the most angry about this one)
It
The Creature From The Black Lagoon
Hellraiser
Poltergeist 
An American Werewolf in London 
The Mummy Reboot


NOW here's why I have such an aversion to this "trend" happening. As an audience we have been desensitized from primal fears like, the dark, shadows, being lost and strange noises. We have become accustomed to blood, guts and seeing all of it happen. Most of these films didn't have lots of blood and you didn't see a lot of scary things.

Horror films lack mystery and the producers nowadays underestimate the audiences ability to IMAGINE scary things by themselves. That's why The Blair Witch Project worked, it played on most of those fears and you didn't even see anything! You saw twigs, rocks and phantom baby hands! Nothing like, what happened to the girl at the end....it was left up to you to imagine what happened.

Now people will argue that they are remaking them to reintroduce them to newer generations but the truth is: money is the reason. Hollywood believes that these films will bring in a lot of cash flow but I believe that this philosophy is flawed. With films like Saw and Paranormal Activity, they will have to re-write these scripts with gorier and edgier plot points thus turning the films into complete messes. Look, I will probably see all of these to see what they will be like but I will be unhappy the whole time.

Thanks for reading and please sound off on the comment box on what films you wish they would or wouldn't remake.

Keep Watching and Get Scared!
