I honestly think hating someone only because he does remakes is stupid.
My reason for hating Aja has nothing to do with the fact that half of his movies are remakes.
I hate him because he's an overrated a**hole and his movie sucks.

Nothing wrong with remakes if you actually do a good job at it. Which he does.

Piranha is not a remake of the 70's film , the story is not the same at all in fact the script for it was not even called Piranha , it just the producers who changed it to piranha to make more money from it
I love the Joe Dante film and I like the Piranha 2010 but they are both very different.

then you must hate michael bay too.
You can't swing a dead cat in hollywood without hitting someone with a vampire script

Why do you despise remakes? that's a little snobbish of you.

Mirrors is a remake of a korean movie.

Mirrors is not a remake,its an original alex movie .

In recent interviews Aja has stated that Piranha is not going to be a remake, but a fresh take on killer fish. There will no references to the original film.
Hope this clears things up. It's a remake in name only. Dude is gonna do his own thing and not remake Dante's film.

Actually, he's doing mirrors in between them. And remakes are great. Even if they are bad, it's great to see a new take. And, if they end up being bad, you don't have to watch them ever again. Plus, they could open up a new, younger generation to horror, who may discover the originals, find the sparkle most remakes missed, and start their long journey into the dark underbelly of the complex genre we call horror!
