One thing I hate............

[Agent007]

Is the fact that no one is original with movies anymore. How come everybody is doing remakes of movies? I was just checking out myspace and I saw a bulleting that pissed me off. Lions Gate is remaking the GREAT Japanese horror movie called The Eye. It seems that everyone is going down this path. Lately, it feels like no one can be original anymore. Personally I think it sucks and it's annoying. I dont want to see something that I have seen in the past and enjoyed, and watch someone ruin it. What do you KHI users think?

[Darkly Aesthetic]

'Across The Universe' came and said "hello"





The Eye remake is probably gonna suck though

[Agent007]

Yeah I didnt see Across the Universe but it didnt look that good to me. The Eye remake is gonna suck though. On a brighter note, Jessica Alba has the lead role.

[blinkboy211]

Every Japanese movie that is remade and brought to America always sucks. Hollywood needs to make its own horror movies that are acutally good cause i dont remember the last horror movie that has the same effect as teh old days with Michael Myers, Jason, Feddie, and Chucky.

Michael Myers, Jason, Feddie, and Chucky.

I love how you just pointed out some of the worst horror movies of all time. Also, all of them are vastly, VASTLY insuperior to the Americanized The Ring. That was one hella tight movie.

If you think Hollywood's gone to shit with horror movies, watch 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead. You will not be dissapointed.

The Ring was good but you have to remember that what I think is reall horror, you're not going to like. Friday the 13th, Halloween, and the Nightmare on Elm Street series all rocked. Not to sound rude but remember that you're only 13.

Yeha Dorian you are more of an age that passed up the great horror movies of old.
Michael Myers, Jason, Feddie, and Chucky=great horror movies of all time.

Oh yeah by the way the Ring sucked total ass. I rate it as one of the worse movies i ever saw.

[retardOkristin]

Actually Across The Universe was really good. But you have to have an acquired movie taste to like it, in my opinion.

But yes, I agree completely.
I don't even bother going to movies anymore unless a preview really catches my eye, or if my boyfriend is paying. XD
Even then, it's a waste of time.
Watching the same movie over and over that is.

OH and also, Pans Labyrinth was amazing. Very original, only catch is there are subtitles which bother some people.
So was eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and Party Monster.

Hah, okay I'm done.

those movies are great.
except hollywood has nothing to do with them seeing as how they're both british films.

age has nothing to do with knowing if a movie is good or not.
apparent seeing as how you though the ring sucked =/

Michel Gondry(director of ESotSM) is one of my favorite directors.
*points at sig*

[Face Down]

The old Chucky,Freddie and Jason movies were awesome.

I was like 3 and I would watch marathons of them lol

But yeah remakes of movies do kinda suck

[Cameron]

All those old movies were were alterations on the slasher genre. Which, honestly, is the most mindless, empty genre you'll ever find. The only reason the films aren't treated like the b-movies they are is beacause they were the proto-slasher flicks, almost like grindhouse films.

They have no merit whatsoever outside of that.

Also, whoever mentioned Pan's Labyrinth gets some points, that was one of the best films of last year, by far.

Saw it last week. Great movie; very intense. My friends thought it was too "happy" all the time, but I throughly enjoyed it.

Never seen any of those slash horrors like Chucky, Freddie, and whatnot.

I also heard Shaun of the Dead is excellent. A couple months ago, some friends and I rented a movie which the worker at Blockbuster said was "Effed up", called High Tension. It was a movie made in France, and it was disturbingly good.

Yet another great movie.

[Candy Man]

Are you people actually referring to shaun of the Dead as a legitimate horror movie? Granted it's really good, but it is a parody.

I freaking love Jason, they can't remake that. They won't even try.

[blinkboy211]

Age has alot to do. Cause if you grow up in an era were those movies were made they were amazing cause they didnt have the technology they did today. Now today kids see movies with gore and tons of violence but alot of new effects are put in. I grew up with Jason, Myers, Freddie, Chucky. Kids today grew up with the Saw movies and other horrible horror movies. Oh the ring was so bad. I put it as worse horror movie of all time and one of most overhyped horror movies of all time.

Uh no it doesn't. Stop looking down on people.

Those movies were gory too.
And as I can recall The Ring had a much better storyline then a movie with a red-headed doll.


Honestly, if a movie is good, I could care less if it's a remake or not.
