MORE remakes? Poltergeist / Child’s Play

Okay, this is getting ridiculous.  I read on the website DreadCentral.com about potential remakes of Child’s Play … no, more specifically a “reboot” of that horror movie series.  In addition to that article, I read an article from The Hollywood Reporter about a Poltergeist remake.

The feedback I have heard regarding the Nightmare on Elm Street remake has been overwhelmingly negative. 

All of these horror movie remakes are raising the legitimate questions of whether there are any new ideas for horror movies or whether these past horror franchises are the only (or the best) way to make money in the horror movie industry today.  Seriously, do we need to bring back Chuckie?  If so, for the love of all that is horrific in cinema, please don’t EVEN f*ing consider bringing back the bride of Chuckie! 

Scene from Poltergeist

Okay horror movie writers … Can you work to develop your own horror movie franchise?  Please?  For example, Saw has done well in creating a franchise;  however, it may not do well stopping when it should.  Regardless, rehashing stuff from 1988 is not the best way to make a positive impact on the genre.

 

 

LONG LIVE CREATIVITY IN HORROR!!!!  I hope.

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer – ON DVD

I’ve already mentioned the “Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer” movie in this blog and was disappointed at how limited the theatrical release was … however, it appears that I won’t have to wait long for the DVD release.  It’s coming out on October 7th.   Amazon is taking pre-orders now.

There’s so much money to be made in the aftermarket (post-theater release) it’s not surprising to see how quickly the DVD releases follow the theatrical releases for these movies.

Love The Zombie Movies – “Dance Of The Dead”

I am a freak for zombie movies … absolutely love’ em. I came across the trailer for “Dance Of The Dead” on IGN. It’s being put out by Lionsgate films direct to DVD … which is rarely a great sign, but I don’t care as long as it’s a zombie movie.  This movie apparently went over quite well at SXSW and was shown at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.  Plus, based on this trailer alone, I think I’ll be happy with this bad boy. Take a look.
