Due for a remake

I don't know. The way Michael Bay's plowing through the backlog its only a matter of time.
I could just see it being really cool and, as you say, badass.
Here's a comment from the Terror Trap reviewer which sums up my feelings:
"The creators of The Prowler could have utilized the disturbed veteran killer motif to much greater benefit. Just imagine the possibilitiesgrenades, nerve gas, rocket launchers, SCUD missiles." -

Aren't there enough remakes of classics? I don't understand, if it's not broke why fix it? As far as Michael Bay goes, he can lick my oil covered boots. That numbskull should wise up and put in his papers. He wants to work with movies, fine, he can work at a video store.
On a seperate note, as much as hate the idea of classics being remade, there have been some that I have been impressed with. Those being:
John Carpenter's THE THING
Martin Scorsese's CAPE FEAR
Alexandre Aja's THE HILLS HAVE EYES
Tobe Hooper's TOOLBOX MURDERS
As far as others go, what a waste. -

Due for a remake? Why would you want to encourage Hollywood to be devoid of any creativity and remake yet another slasher/horror from the Eighties? There have been so many over the last 5 years - some good, most terrible - that I cannot understand why these boards are full of people looking for remakes of films that were absolutely fine as they were first time around!
If it is remade then almost certainly it won't be very good going by the recent offerings and will be hated by almost everybody (especially by the original's fans) just like The Fog and Black Christmas. Then you'll have everyone saying that there should never have been a remake!

Wow. Somebody who liked The Toolbox Murders. Here I was thinking it was a pile of scheize. But I liked WATC '06 and The Hitcher, so who am I to judge?
But remake? Only if Jensen Ackles signs up for the cop role too late. No deal.
You can rest your mind at last, you've resolved the horrors past -

Rambo is nothing like the Prowler. The Prowler goes on a killing spree all because it's the anniversary of when he killed his girl that sent him a Dear John. Rambo only kills bad guys. He doesn't kill innocent people or women for that matter. Rambo was a little unbalanced from the war, but not a homicidal maniac.

Especially slasher from the 80s which still holds up. Have you seen it lately? Those FX still look quite realistic and brutal. So yeah, I am with you here, there's no need for remake. Let them "throw" something original for a change, or at least, make something that's already seen, but threat it with more care. (khmm, like Wan treated "The Conjuring?")

well those don't suck because they are remakes. They suck because they are terrible movies.
