Horror Remakes: Unnecessary Evil?

Planet Ivy: Having exhausted the list of legendary horror movies they could get their dirty hands on, Hollywood studios have decided to give Brian De Palma’s Carrie (1976) and Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead (1981) something even these two scary movies would be afraid of: a remake.

The problem is people will go see films they have heard of, recognize the name of or character they liked or heard about in a positive way.

Some of these remakes came out when i was really little and I find it interesting to to see the modern take is.
