The way I see it, all remakes are expansions of the franchise. Cash-ins of the originals don't constitute for good film. I liked The Hills Have Eyes (2005) more than the original, and the TCM (2003) remake wasn't horrible either. But, there is a huge lack of good original horror, and I think these remakes are to blame for the lack of progression in the genre at the moment. I liked Jakie Earl Haley in the movie at parts (made it enjoyable) but the movie was lacking good substance and was yet again a piece of lazy Platinum Dunes garbage. Congrats PD on another horrible piece of cinema, yet again tarnishing the name of horror and butchering the name of movies I love.
