Why is mordern horror all about the remake?

I hate about 95% of current horror films out there. Why you ask? Because 95% of current horror films are crappy thrown together remakes of classic horror films. Now don't get me wrong. Some remakes aren't that bad. I didn't mind the remake of The Hills Have Eyes, and Rob Zombies versions of the first 2 Halloween movies...although I think Rob should stick to his own ideas, because House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects are MUCH MUCH better movies. I didn't mind the remake of Friday the 13th all that much either....though the differences between the old ones and the new one were too many to count. I wish that Hollywood horror directors would  come up with something original. That is why Hatchet is my favorite horror film. It takes the old ideas and makes them new and fun. I haven't seen the new Nightmare on Elm Street yet and I refuse. It just does NOT appeal to me. How can you have a Nightmare movie without Robert Englund? 2 people out of the hundred I asked liked it. The others said the new Freddy acted and looked retarded. All set. The last horror movie I saw that I enjoyed from recent times other than Adam Greens films was Saw...then they made 6 more of them and I lost interest!!! 7 films? Every horror movie Ive seen that has more than 3 or 4 sequels loses their appeal after #3...Why Hollywood why?!! Someone PLEASE come up with something new and original!! and if anyone is reading this, please tell me why no one can come up with an original idea thats actually good these days. Thanks!!

  1. so apparently I was VERY in the wrong to single out just horror films. Hollywood in general likes to do shitty remakes of classic movies. I remember there was talk of remaking Rocky Horror Picture Show (thank gods that never happened) and my boyfriend just informed me that they want to Remake THE WIZAED OF OZ!!! WHY HOLLYWOOD WHY??
