I wouldnt call the original boring exactly...sure it had its fill of sex and nudity, but it was a genuinely atmospheric movie. The surrealness was gripping, and thats what the remake lacked.

Plus, Nicholas Cage disappointed. I would much rather see a lesser fancied actor in that role, who could have done better.

Cage...I dont know...that role didnt fit him. Or rather his screen persona, for that matter.

Cage fits in with monotone and boring...



He should have been in the original!

In the last couple of horror movies I've watched that are new recently, there was no sex in it, maybe there diciding that is unnessecary unless it has to do with the plote. Did i spell unnessecary right?

I hate the sex scenes in horror..
I mean..especially since it always depicts teenagers..

Why the hell don;t they ever shower after the scene..?

sex scenes work in horror because a lot of people like to see the two people get killed in some stupid sex related way. Like, the man will get up cause he heard a noise. He wont come back. Suddenly, the knife goes into the womans a-hole slightly and she's like "Ooooh, that's how it's gonna-" then it goes all the way in. [Yes, i saw this on a film]

there-->they're
diciding-->deciding
unnessecary-->unnecessary
plote-->plot

I think sex in horror movies completely has to do with the tone and plot of the film. If it's an exploitation film--definitely! Ghost movie, maybe not so much.

That whole "only the virgin survives" and the "if you do drugs and have sex you will get gutted" themes that were really popular in the 80's, stems from the old Production Code (movies before 1934 were actually pretty racy). The MPAA was still new at trying to get their ratings right during the 80's, as the PG-13 rating didn't even come out until 1984.
