When I think of classical movies, I think Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, and many other creditable films.
The recent remakes have caused me to speak up.
Why can't they let the classics remain as such? Why do new directors need to pollute the reputation these amazing movies have in order to create more BGG? Blood, guts, and gore for those wondering.
My love of the true classics are the one's that get into your head. The scare factor behind them. Alfred Hitchcock, all his movies are legendary, and rightly so. He was without a doubt, a truly gifted man, through making his movies focus on the scare fact, and not the gore.
I recently saw that they are remaking The Wolf Man. Personally one of my favorite movies, but now with them revamping it into today's expectations for the BGG. It is absolutely revolting that these directors from the Hollywood hills, get paid millions of $ for their original and unique ideas, and lately it seems that their "talents" haven't really been up to the task.
More recently books, and movies already done, are being remade, because no one is capable of leaving a masterpiece alone.
The Halloween movies, beyond exceptional for their time, were remade by Director Rob Zombie, because he is a BGG kind of man. I have not watched them, nor do I want to.
They are subjecting the classics to modern tweaking, because that is what everyone wants to see, that and nudity of course. Why can't people understand the motives behind the older wonders? That they weren't the BGG, but the psychological thrill, of what was lurking around the corner? What was behind the door?
I am appalled in the new direction that these movies are headed, and will gladly stick to the true masterpieces anyday!
