[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 190166, member: 134"] Yeah, I just watched the trailer. For added insult, I then watched the original trailer. Here's the diff between the two: the original let's you know something is going on in the house, and then shows bright lights hitting people's faces as they look on in awe or terror. The new trailer shows you the clown attacking, kids flying around, tells you the house is built on a cemetery, shows the house starting to implode (or explode, hard to tell). So essentially the new trailer is pointing out that all your favorite bits are going to be in this new film. This begs the question, if all you are doing is fan service, why wouldn't I just go back and watch the original? It has aged incredibly well (practical effects, thank you very much), and is still creepy as all get out. I'll never understand it. Remake movies that weren't good but had the potential to be great, not great movies that have nothing wrong with them. If that is too much to ask for, how 'bout taking the premise and going in a completely different direction? I don't know how many of you saw the 80's version of The Blob compared to the 50's version, but THAT is how you do a remake! [/QUOTE]
