Remakes, Remakes, Remakes….will it ever end?

Looks like Day of the Dead has a new trailer out there and from the looks of it and reading others posts about it, it doewsnt seem to really impress people much. Check out what you think about it here:

Day of the Dead Trailer

With all of the reaw talent out there in the horror world, you would think that people and more specifically the big studios would pick up on the fact that everything has been done and its now time for more original ideas. But apparently they have’nt figured that out yet, and from the looks of it they never really will. With all of the money that is to be made re-hasing old ideas and taking good movies and making them bad, I dont think that the remake trend in horror will ever end.

So if you are like me and dont particularly like the remakes, (with the exception of “Dawn of the Dead”; I think a few of you can agree), consider this post a warning list. Here is some of the movies that are on the chopping block for remakes. Some of them are old and some of them are new….click on the more tag for the list

  1. Dont worry about it man the traile rto the Day Of The Dead remake looks like shit, yeah i will probably end up wathcing it but the orginal is a true classic, and by the looks of this one its going to blow. I hate when they use the same actors in one movie and then again in other films that has to do with the same genre. The big black guy in Dawn Of The Dead remake is also starring in this film, yeah he is a awesome actor dont get me wrong. But he better be his fucking twin brother who he was trying to get too i tell ya that.
