In Reply to: Remakes - WHY? posted by bjjb on July 29, 1999 at 07:16:25:
...like, for example, the title above.Why *anyone* would attempt to trump the original Robert Wise production is way beyond me, amigos. The original is quiet, tense, subtle, and has almost no special effects. Nothing is seen...it is only sensed at the edge of perception.
And the brilliant B&W photography! With outside shots that are nearly infrared...and remarkable angles within the house.
As usual, the remake replaces character, plot, mood, atmosphere, and *real* horror...with an avalanche of special effects. It seems that today's Hollywood understands neither horror nor science fiction...only volume and gimmicks.
Pathetic!
Banish this sort of thing to the same /dev/null that the remake of "Psycho" was sent unto....
