I want original horror movies. Come on, Hollywood!

I think alot of people "hate" on remakes for two reasons. One, it's a fad. They think it makes them look like a die hard horror fan by petitioning remakes. Well, it doesn't. It's bound to happen, and it's happened for many, many years. But people are acting like this is something new. I think it's just now beginning to get noticed. Although I will agree, remakes NOW are more common in the horror genre than any other. Number two, because they aren't the same as the original movies we all love so much. Well, most people don't want to see a shot for shot remake, unless your a Funny Games fan :reddisgust: My personal belief in remakes, is that 99% of the time, it's for the money. I mean, just about every remake that has been released theatrically (horror-wise) in the past 5 or so years, has made it's money back, and then some. In short, I think this current wave of remakes is just beginning (if you don't believe me, check IMDB). And besides, there's still plenty of original horror films being released, they just aren't being showcased at the same level as remakes, so you have to dig around and look a little bit.
