Remakes are going nowhere we all know. I'm not really against them per say, as we'd never have gotten such great films as Carpenter's Thing and the Fly. I just got finished watching two big Hollywood remakes of classic horror films. The Hitcher and Black Christmas. I dearly love both original films and went into viewing the remakes with an open mind. Black Christmas 06 was a good slasher movie with some nasty gore and it actually tried to do something different with the plot instead of simply retreading old ground. Very fun to me....now The Hitcher remake was a complete and utter waste of time. It was almost a carbon copy of the original. Basically scene for scene and nothing new/and or original added to the mix......And now I read that Rob Zombie is redoing CHUD.....lol.........................Larry
