Yes.:D

Seriously, the next time you hear a reake is coming do yourself a favor and head to the video store (or netflix or whatever you use) and rent the original first.

If you like the remake better, fine...but see the originals, please, please, please!

Absolutely! It might be the only good thing about a remake if it can spark some interest for the original, but I'd still prefer they would stop doing them.

We'll you're missing a lot of gems then! By the way, since you seem to be from my area, do you know about the Fantasia Festival? If you don't, well just look out for it next year!

I can't help but think that the replies to this thread would be different if the original poster wasn't obviously female.

that said, I can't honestly say that I hate any horror movie. the Scream and IKWYDLS movies don't really do it for me. they seem a bit too polished and overproduced.

you mentioned that you didn't like the rape scene in THHE remake and that it wasn't necessary. I didn't enjoy the scene, but I hafta say that the whole movie made me happy to see such extremity being shown in a major Hollywood release.

to me, intense scenes are great. I like seeing exactly how far directors will push the limit.

my favorite episode in the Masters of Horror series is Cigarette Burns, just for that reason... because I could identify with two of the characters. one of them says that he "only wants the most extreme images" (paraphrasing) and the other, the director of a notorious film, made movies because he "wanted to utterly destroy the audience."

now that's some shit I can respect. but once again, that sort of thing isn't for everybody. and whether or not it's some "macho" thing or even if it's a "sick" thing (my wife thinks the former), it all comes down to what is pleasing to you aesthetically and if the Scream (or any teeny-bopper horror, for that matter) is what you like I, personally, have no problem with that.

ok in some movies scenes that are very dramatic and full on i can handle...but when it came to that scene in that particular movie i dont know...it just gave me the willies and i couldnt stomach it...i physically felt ill after it....i think it had something to do with Lizard...the mutant raping her. It scared me beyond belief and i will never watch that movie agian...but i do like when movies push things to the limit...bending the rules...breaking them is when i have a problem.
