I\'m very excited to see this one. I think it will be interesting to see updated elements from the original. I can only hope for minimal CGI effects.
As far as kids thinking the original looks lame compared to the remake.... I think this is unavoidable and, to be honest, quite understandable. For me it\'s all about what you watched growing up. Films like the Evil Dead remake are what the majority of kids today are being exposed to for the first time. These films have a completely different look and feel to what we\'re used to. I can actually relate in having just watched the original Night of the Living Dead for the very first time a couple of months ago. I honestly found it hard to watch.... even that film had such a different look and feel to what I watched growing up. I can still appreciate it for the classic I know it to be, I just didn\'t enjoy it.
