Hellraiser remake taking a "youthful" approach

Disagreed on the MBV remake being crap, or even a guilty pleasure for that matter. Honestly, that was an example of a modern remake done right if I've ever seen one; for one thing, it DID expand on the original (deepening the mystery element, which was basically an afterthought in the original) and it paid tribute without going full-blown "lets make the dumber fans think we actually like that old movie by referencing it!" wank-fest. I found there to be more suspense in the remake as well, such as in the hotel and grocery store scenes, and the climax.
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
