Psycho.

The movie has great potential, but the original and every remake has sucked horribly. As it stands right now, Psycho is not worthy of being called "horror."

Another remake or "retelling" (as some pompous ass directors like to call it to disguise that they couldn't think of anything better to do than to remake someone else's work) will probably be made in the next six years.

If they have to, let them buy the rights to an old movie, remake it however, but please call it by a new name! Then don't tell anybody it's a remake.


Yes Hollywood, can we please have something slightly original THAT'S FREAKING GOOD FOR ONCE!!!!!

The original Psycho ruled.

Instead of remaking Last Man on Earth, I'd rather they made a new movie based on the same book.

It also isn't a horror movie any more than say, Silence of the Lambs was a horror movie. It saddens me to see psych-thrillers get lumped in with "horror" movies.

There were plans to make an new version of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend (the basis for The Last Man on Earth w/Vincent Price as well as The Omega Man w/Chuck Heston) starring Ahnuld. I would think if it hasn't been abandoned for other reasons, then Ahnuld's election as governor of California would have put the kibosh on it, at least until he is back in the private sector.

I would really like to see the original A Nightmare on Elm Street remade. With today's digital effects and the kids who grew up on these movies (like me) growing up and demanding more from modern horror, the film deserves to be taken back to a time when the concept was actually scary. I mean, think about it. There's this guy. And if you fall asleep, he kills you. You can't fight him. You can't run from him. You can't hide from him. And you have to fall asleep some time.


Hmm.....I guess I'll just have to remake it myself. :P

I did mind the last part of the movie where the characters start acting as if they had been lobotomized. Very irritating to have characters inexplicably become dumber than a box of rocks. When this happens I usually switch sides just so the idiots will be taken out of the gene pool!


heh heh
You said "BM".
Which is just about what the latter movie amounts to.
heh heh
