Horror Flick Remakes Are Comin'

They’ve recently remade a bunch of horror flicks: The Hills Have Eyes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre & Halloween being the big ones. Well, looks like there’s a couple more to look forward to:

Friday the 13th

Yup, looks like Jason’s back. This is obviously awesome! Jason’s pretty iconic and it’s gonna be pretty interesting to see how they modernize him. He looks pretty agile in the trailer; there’s a pretty wicked running, machete chop towards the end.

This one’s directed by the same dude who directed the Chainsaw remake and is produced by Sean Cunningham (who produced the orginal)… that sounds promising.

Maybe even more exciting is that they’re re-doing The Last House on the Left. The original was pretty fucked up! The original was written & directed by Wes Craven and produced by Sean S. Cunningham. Cunningham’s back & Craven’s joining him as a producer but he’s not writing nor directing this one.

We’ll see how this turns out. This won’t be as straight-forward to get entertainment value out of as remaking Friday the 13th: As long as a Friday movie gets a few cool death scenes and 1/2 decent acting you’re pretty much home free. But the original of this flick was really just fucked up & disturbing. Capturing that vibe’s the key here.

The original was just dirty. Kindof a bummer of a flick… it’s all heavy and 100% possible which is why it’s so fucked up. You can tell from the trailer that a few plot points have been altered… It’ll be interesting to see what they do.

My Bloody Valentine 3D

Yup, the My Bloody Valentine remake’s gonna be in 3D. That’s pretty awesome… I’m sold.
