What I don't understand is the insistence on dumbing the remakes down to this PG-13 foolishness. If it's a good, scary movie that you feel the need to remake, then remake it into another good, scary movie. ARGH is right. 715379@blogcritics.org Sun, 4 May 2008 12:42:12 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/30/150823.php#comment-715304 The original is really good - in fact, I'm a big fan of all three though I think you already have to be a fan of the genre to be able to follow the storyline without jumping out a window. They've screwed up too many fabulous Asian horror films, and now I hear that Tale of Two Sisters ( The Uninvited ), Ryeong ( The Ghost ), Bunshinsaba ( Witchboard ) and St. Johns Wort are all in the queue to be remade. ARGH. 715304@blogcritics.org Sat, 3 May 2008 22:21:34 EDT
