Last House on the Left remake

[Alien Redrum]

Just watched the trailer (it looks to be riddled with spoilers, so if you've never seen the original, I suggest you don't watch it).

From it, I gathered this is more of a re-imagining than remake, although the main themes are definitely there. Now, it's been a while since I've seen it, but didn't

Spoiler:

The mother know her daughter got fucked up because Hess (or one of the cats) was wearing the necklace? I swear I don't remember the daughter turning up, as shown in the trailer.

If I do remember it correctly, and that's how it happened in the original, then all I can say is LAME. THANK YOU FOR DUMBING IT DOWN, DICKHEADS!

Either way, though, I'll definitely check it out (most likely on DVD) because Tony Goldwyn always seems to deliver.

[Neon Maniac]

I don't remember exaxtly either, but yeah, it was something like that.

Dumbing down aside I think this one looks good. I'll definitely check it out.

It can't be any worse than David DeFalco's 2005 crapfest: CHAOS

[G Man]

I'm looking forward to this one as well.

I want to check it out but I will probably wait for DVD, from what I remember reading the re-make downplays the rape and attacks on the girls, and focuses more on the revenge with the parents. I believe it was originally supposed to be PG-13 as well, but dont quote me on that. I think toning down the gore can help and hurt the film, since making it gory will automatically draw comparisons to the sensationalism of the original. I think they can focus on the story and tastefully make it scary without trying to outdo Craven and just make it abusively gory.

[The Hitman]

I think Tony Goldwyn's a good actor, too. Plus, he often plays villains and looks like the (anti-)hero of this one if I could interpret the ADD-trailer right.

don't know I'm curious about it but but the trailers seem to ruin the payoff at the end that the original had. I don't think they should have marketed it as a revenge film just as a torture film instead.

[LivingDeadGirl]

I want to check it out, mainly because the bad girl in the movie is a hometown girl. Her name's Riki Lindhome and her brother is the drummer in a band that plays gigs around all our local bars.
