I am definitely a purist when it comes to alot of horror films, but this one could be very good. Thanks for this Steve, I have been keeping up with
the production on this one for awhile and this is the best report I have seen so far on it. I really like the fact that Tobe Hooper is interested in
it, if anyone has advice on how to handle this story, it's him, thanks again for this.

Also on the remake thing, Hollywood is just getting warmed up and it is sickening. Peter Jacksons remake of King Kong is coming out next month and
Paramount is talking about remaking.................are you ready for this??.................Friday the 13th. That is fucking blasphemy!!

They remade Friday the 13th already, 12 times....
I turned my back on movies after they butchered The Highlander with a shitty fucking sequel....there is no sequel....He won, he is the one, end of
fucking story!
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

No,no,no.......I love horror franchises, I dont give a shit how cheesy it gets. Theres something of value in all of them, I'm talking they want to
remake the first one where Mrs Voorhees was the killer, and they want to do it seriously.

I love horror films, no doubt, but there isn't 1 original writer left in hollywood..., and not jsut horror films
if it's not a fucking tv show, it's a a sequal, or a remake
I can appreciate the advancement in technology to make films better, but write a new script to go along with it...
all these damn remakes are fucking pg-13, kid bullshit as well
if you have the technology to make the most visually and atmospherically disturbing films ever, do it....
where the hell did the nc-17 films go...
is it the damn riptide of conservatisim and morality that is killing our ability to scare the fuck out of people... I would think this would push the
envelope even more...
burn hollywood burn

I love horror flicks but I miss all the gratuitous nudity and gore they used to have. It's all so tame these days, for the most part anyways.

I didn't think anybody who is actually serious about horror liked that Chainsaw remake. They turned a great movie into another one of these craptastic
"I know what you did last summer/Scream/whatever" movies with a better story (due solely to the fact that it was a remake of a good movie. I'll admit,
making a prequel to TCM sounds like a good idea, but it sounds like it's gonna be just as moronically done as the remake. Same target audience - frat
boys who hope their sorority girl dates will bury their heads in their laps out of fear.
Bah, I fuckin' LOVE horror, but almost all of the "franchise" movies are pieces of shit to begin with (yes, I'm talkin' about Friday the 13th,
Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween, etcetera) with the exception of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, although some of the sequels to that were pretty
ridiculous. All these new movies that are trying to replicate their success, Scream and all those, are MUCH worse and just serve to put another nail
in the horror movie coffin and so they piss me off even worse than just another bad horror flick would. I mean, it's hard enough for horror movie
writers and directors (aside from a few who have overcome this) to get taken seriously anyway, why destroy the genre's validity for a quick buck?
Anyway, I am actually really anticipating the King Kong remake since I like Peter Jackson, not so much for the geek fest of the Lord Of The Ring
movies, but for his old low budget stuff. I can't wait to see what he does with the very first horror movie I ever saw.

I am a franchise freak, I love em. Anything trying to establish a franchise after 1985 is total crap though (scream being the biggest load) I do take
horror films seriously, it's my favorite of all time and I live to scour the net and stores looking for independant gems waiting to be seen. I did
enjoy the Texas remake for what it was........a remake, you cant go in expecting something as profound as the original. Same with the Dawn of the dead
remake, I loved it because I viewed it as it's own film rather than a weak attempt at capturing greatness. The two films that come to mind when I
think horror in modern day that stuck to originality and catered to the hardcore fan are 28 days later and Shaun of the Dead as far as blockbuster
theater type shit. If you really like horror films, and you dig the zombie subgenre specifically, check out an Australian indie called Undead. I think
it deserves to mention braindead (dead alive) in it's description, nuff said.

Aside from the franchise
stuff (sorry man, I've haed those things forever) and the TCM remake, I agree with you fuly. I fuckin' LOVE 28 Days Later and Shaun Of The Dead.
Haven't seen Undead, but Dead Alive has been one of my favorites for years now and is definitely one of the Jackson movies I was referring to earlier.

The Devil's Rejects brings that back 10 fold.
I never went and saw it at the theatre so I havew only seen it in directors cut dvd form but in my opinion that is the WORST (in a good way) movie to
be put out as a major motion picture in FOREVER. The movie deserves ALOT more credit and I hope it opnes the door back open for more gore and nudity.
That movie took the envelope and fucking shreaded it! I just think of when Natural Born Killers came out, all the shit that movie got for it's
content but now, in comparison to TDR's, it is VERY tame (but still a great movie, ESPECIALLY for it's time).
Now, if anyone hasn't seen TDR's, SEE IT! I was worried it was gonna be total shit due to how horrible House of 1,000 corpses was. It's a nice
mix....
I think of it like this...
TCM + Charles Manson x Natural Born Killers = The Devil's Rejects

Which is funny, cuz they are both foreign films. It seems like nowadays you have to go outside of the states for anything remotly related to "real
horror". The only recent american horror releases I have liked are the Devil's Rejects and Saw.... There is a movie coming out call "Hostil" that
sounds promising. Other than that, all the good horror is out of the us. High Tension was another good foreign flick, along with TONS of japanese
cinema.

Some of those Japanese flicks are just out there, they are original for sure. Yeah, the brits seem to have taken a love to the horror genre and they
have been doing it very well. I still think the Italions with Dario have really good stuff, it's just hard to find.

And back on subject for a moment, Hollywood has a hard on for Japanese horror remakes.
The ring (ringu)
The grudge (ju on)
sequels to both and a third ring installment in the works.

Not exactly. They are also releasing some REALLY low level B horror flicks.... No budget films. I personally like thm for their comic value, but
most people HATE them

It's all about Anchor Bay, those guys are hitting all the good stuff. Check out Dead and Breakfast, it was supposed to be the "American answer to
Shaun Of The Dead", but I wouldn't say it was quite that good. Pretty fuckin' funny and gory, but not nearly as well written. The new movie starring
and directed by Bruce Campbell, The Man With The Screaming Brain, is awesome. Ultra low budget and filmed on location in Bulgaria (because it was the
cheapest place they could find in the world to film it in, even though they had to rewrite the script to make it fit), it's hilarious and loaded with
really cheesy (in a good way) effects. I've probably watched it five times since I got it a few weeks ago.
I also liked Land Of The Dead alot. I know most of the purists thought it fucked things up, but I really enjoyed it.
