If we can forget the whole "remake thing for a minute... after simply watching that trailer, I must say that I have damn year zero interest in watching this one. Honestly, it just doesn't look that good. Who the hell cast Shannon Elizabeth in this one? Her line from the trailer "Look! There are bodies in the basement!" made me think I was watching the latest "Scary Movie spoof.
I still don't understand the need to remake every 80s horror movie that ever existed. Imagine if the book industry decided to start doing "remakes" and "updates" of classic novels. A new version of "To Kill A Mocking Bird" with an extreme edge. Maybe Boo has a sexual fetish this time around or something.
It's the same thing, in my opinion. You don't rewrite a classic book. You shouldn't remake a classic movie.
