It's like the Evil Dead remake.
They just didn't get what made the original work so well, and made a bland copy, leaving out key elements such as humor and characters you actually like and care about.
I'll probably wait until it's on TV, and then give it my standard 15 minutes to convince me to keep watching. I rarely get to minute 16 with remakes...

I'll go. It's got Raimi's involvement, and his Drag Me to Hell was a hoot.
They already remade Poltergeist anyways. It was called Insidious.
As for Jaws, for the life of me, I can't figure out why they stopped at 4. Without any sarcasm, I think there should be a new Jaws movie every Memorial Day weekend to kick off the summer.Leave a comment:

Meh, this doesn't need to be remade but maybe we'll get some sort of deluxe blu-ray of the original out of the deal.
It'll sell though, 3/4 of my friends can't wait, including my wife. I shall pass.
Can't wait for the new Jaws.Leave a comment:

It looks like every other horror flick out there. It may be good, but the marketing for all of these is so homogenized I honestly can't tell one from another.
The original worked because it was like an idylic family drama with a horror element dropped in the middle of it.

Poltergeist remake
Been seeing commercials for the Poltergeist remake lately and i'm not very impressed.
Looks to be another Amityville Horror lousy forgettable remake.
That said, I loved the original.
Was one of the first VHS's I ever bought.
