The problem you describe here reminds me of the prequel to <i>The Thing</i> that was foolishly titled <i>The Thing</i>, and that was they spent too much time attaching the elements from their movie to the beginning of the original.Octopunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948127593611773731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-17023055743471224142015-10-14T17:26:26.283-07:002015-10-14T17:26:26.283-07:00As a rule I have little nterest in remakes of dece...As a rule I have little nterest in remakes of decent films.

I have such issue with these remakes. I don't have an issue with them remaking something from an older time that had terrible effects and such and now they can make it better. I do however have an issue with them remaking something that was good in the first place stands the test of time and is still good, there's just no reason for it other than the film makers wanting to cash in on something they already know works.Catfreeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215307648862899154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-91265505103726135702015-10-14T13:11:25.942-07:002015-10-14T13:11:25.942-07:00I had the same beef with the Omen remake.
