If a talented horror or scifi author did it, perhaps independently I'd have the hope of it being good.

Independently maybe, but the budget wouldn't be there and it would suffer badly and end up being shit. There is the problem: if a person who truly loves the original remakes it, studios wouldn't fund it. The studio will get somebody who probably just watched the film remake it. Either way, it will suck. :freddysss:
