My BB queue is pretty much filled with 80's horror movies right now. I recently watched Frankenhooker and although it was released in 1990 everything about that movie screamed 80s. It was also a very fun watch too :) I’m right there with you on that Jon. My BB queue is pretty much filled with 80’s horror movies right now.

Exactly. Gornography is much more controversial for this day and age and this couldn't take the cake unless they did get an NC-17 or X. Shoot a scene with a guy biting a four year old's penis off while fucking a dead goat and there's your controversy. For some reason horror remakes bother me a lot less (although I still don't want them). Maybe its because the horror genre is suffering horribly and hasn't had a good boost since Scream. (I don't like Japanese ghost horror or it's remakes.) Besides, I Spit On Your Grave wasn't a masterpiece. It isn't like it has a large enough fan base to guarantee success either. Anyone who owns it is probably a remake-hater just like me. Every time I hear about torture porn it's always in a negative light after four Saw films and a shitty Hostel sequel (hell, I don't get all the rage over the first one; it was only decent.) It's about time someone really hits us hard with something, well, hard. “This will not be nearly as controversial or effective as the original.”

Everything is homogenized to satisfy the most people. This will not be nearly as controversial or effective as the original. People really need to just watch older films instead of remakes, especially 70's and 80's horror. Justice is never done to the originals.

When I say better, I don't mean as far as the production value is concerned. In the end, I don't think a modern version of this film could carry nearly as much of an impact as the original. That's about all I can really say on the matter.
