The one thing that doesn't sit well with me (and the same goes for other recent Platinum Dunes slasher remakes) is the ultra-beautiful cast. In the classic slashers, the protagonists/victims were average people we could relate to. Now they're ultra-glamorized to the point where my high school cheerleading squad looks like plain janes by comparison.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427050476965801867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-89357040033883634182009-12-12T00:06:55.092-05:002009-12-12T00:06:55.092-05:00Although I am not happy that the film is being rem...Although I am not happy that the film is being remade, you are right, we have no choice.

Normally I can't take these remakes, and do favor coming up with new ideas. However, since it isn't going away, I'm givin it a chance, and I do like what I see so far.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-8806694390147706692009-12-11T16:54:40.245-05:002009-12-11T16:54:40.245-05:00B-Sol,

I don't begrudge these guys trying to make a buck, good for them, but maybe the could try their collective hand at something original next time.Pax Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951019083510283683noreply@blogger.com
