| Next Generation ruined the TCM serries :P
At least the Evil Dead remake got canceled. In general, remakes fuck up the original. Dawn of the Dead for one totally missed the social commentary by making it so that you could only turn into a zombie if you were bitten. |

| sequels, prequels, remakes
maybe not in that order, but hollywood fare has lost so much originality
notice how very rarely older horror movies were endorsed by major studios or if they were, didn't have a large release and now how many horror movies are made on a shoestring budget? if remaking something without any integrity means big dollars we've been reduced to a bunch of sheep already |

| you guys.. Texas Chainsaw massacre was always senseless killing with no plot... how can you complain about them hollywood-ising a movie in the ways that it's actually the same? I would complain if they made it not mindless killing and endless screaming cause the only reason anyone would ever watch Texas Chainsaw massacre in thre first place is to take pleasure in violence and fear or laugh. In the original the chainsaw noise must have been going on for about 90% of the movie, imagine if they made a movie like that now, people will complain that their head hurts. Normal people just don't watch that shit without laughing, it's just not a movie for normal people unless you think it's funny. There was never anything more to Chainsaw than 100% mindless violence. That's the thing about remakes though, no matter how you make them they're always wrong. |

| The original texas chainsaw massacre was just a new aproach (at the time) to scaring audiences. Not only did the killer kill, but there was a whole family of wacko rednecks (that actually all have detailed back-story, just not all of it explored in the movies) that don't just happen to be insane and murder people, but they eat them and sell them as BBQ to passers by at a gas station. They dig up graves and make furniture out of the bones. They have a pet chicken in a cage.
And the best part? It was partly influenced by an actual psycho, Ed Gein (as well as Hitchcock's Psycho, and Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs). He only killed 2 people, but in his house, there were all sorts of bizzare shit that no one had ever thought possible, especially in the 50s! Bowls made from the top halves of human skulls, lampshades from human skin, he wore a belt made from stitched-together human nipples, he kept vaginas preserved in jars in his fridge. He'd even dug up his own dead mother and made a "suit" out of her skin, which he would wear and pretend he was her when he was confused and didn't know what to do, because she'd dominated him all his life and never given him any free will or taught him common sense, he was just a slave to her insanity.
So, yeah, Texas Chainsaw Massacre was just sensless killing with no plot. Absolutely nothing taken or inspired by REAL LIFE, it's just a work of fiction.
Also, a few remakes have actually been way better than the original. The Thing is a great example. The original 50s version is deffinitley a great movie, but what John Carpenter did to it was beyond amazing, he turned a good but cheezy 50s movie about a frankenstein-looking plant-man from another planet into one of the best alien horror movies ever made. IMO the remake of The Ring, and even Pulse, were much superior to the originals, and actually managed to be scary without turning to boring cheeze 2/3 of the way into the movie. |
