I find it interesting that even so early in movie history they still did remakes. But I agree it is a far to overlooked film, and far to many vampire movie fans do not even know it exists, and that is a shame as it is definitely one to give at least one watch.

Let The Right One In
The Swedish movie "Let the Right One In", based on a novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist, was incredible. It's not the scariest movie I've ever seen, but the way he portrays vampires is awesome. It's a different perspective than usual. It's such a beautiful story, and with a very happy ending. His novel was published in 2005, then they made a movie in 2008. Now there is a new English version of the movie called "Let Me In"... it's not a complete slasher film, but if you're looking for an amazing story I highly recomend it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reRRAEVHq8E

Well yes Spanish Dracula is more like a side production than a remake, but yes it is the same principle, make something with your language and which fit your culture better than a movie from another nation.
I think that the reason why we see so many remakes now is the economic crisis. After all a old movie already have a following who is likely to see a new version, whatever they like it or not, it is just safer to remake something than to gamble on something new when the money is tight.

Well what I can say is that horror movies while still seen as a bit of a guilty pleasure is gaining respect. More and more often horror films is at the Oscars. Perhaps there is just more money for monsters in this day and age, both for original films and remakes? Though I still hold that the bad economy that have been the last few years perhaps can explain some of why there are so many remakes.

I am fine with remakes as long as they also make completely new original movies. As long as they make more horror movies I am happy. But I do prefer originals to remakes, unless it is more Dracula movies, you can never have to many Dracula movies. :D
