Yes, I REALLY think it should stop. It's like they're remaking absolutely anything nowadays. I got fed up with this shit after the new Dawn of the dead and haven't bothered to see any new remakes since that one. And for the most part it seems like some directors are intentionally trying to make them worse than the original. Like House of wax. The original had Vincent Price, one of the best actors ever lived while the remake had Paris Hilton, the dumbest bimbos ever lived.Though at least the original was a old movie, from the 50's while most of the upcoming remakes are of movies from the 70's and 80's and I think it's way to soon to remake movies from that time. At least wait another 15-20 years or so. When they decided to remake Friday the 13th, that's when I got really mad.I wish more filmmakers would go the Hatchet route and instead of remaking a movie, they can borrow elements from it and it's genre and try to create an more original film.
