Woah...the new stuff is *better* than the originals...
No way!
The new movies coming out (well, remakes, since Hollywood ran out of ideas) while I find them decent or worth a watch in no way outdo the originals.
The originals have that atmosphere and build...and a lot of them show you can be scary without gory.
Now I love the gore and effects in the new ones...but c'mon...the originals are classic!
But this new "Let's explain that Michael Myers was trailer park white trash that got picked on as a kid and he went nuts and killed..." Ummm, yeah, that's scary...not! It was scarier when you were like Omigosh! What is up with this guy? Is he the boogeyman or what? Why?
It's called imagination which a lot of the newer generation in movies is lacking...oh lets take the original, change it, and add 50 buckets of blood...yep...done...
Halloween - remake was decent but you cannot ever match the feel of the original!
Amityville Horror - this pretty much sucked compared to the original.
Friday 13th - decent remake that made Jason somewhat scary again (but not like the originals-disregarding the latter ones)
The Omen - Didn't see this remake yet (don't have any drive to)
Texas Chainsaws - this was the best remake I think as far as being frightening...but the originals still bug me more than this.
And I'm only 32, so I 'get' this generation...I grew up with these and the new stuff. You have to respect and appreciate the originals...without them...there'd be no remake crap for the 'new generation'.
