that's the thing with remakes... they're all about getting new folks to see 'em and spend the money. its hard to recreate a movie like that simply because it came out when it did. it was a different time. i mean, movies like Last House and Chainsaw had people vomiting in the theaters... it's impossible to do that now. remakes are only there to "polish" up movies, which ruins them.
i mean, how can the redux that rape scene and not, A)water it down to lose its effect or B)take it out all together? and the scene with the mother... man, it's just so sad that movies are all about money now, and have nothing to do with art. horror used to be art, but now its just a way to get teeny-boppers to the theaters... fucking sad...
