Now seriously, I know the Dawn remake was good, but that had a director that was actually competent.

This looks like it's really going to suck.

[south_of_heaven 11]

Wow. Horrible.

[Knifeboy]

I saw this trailer yesterday.. And nearly cried

[Cain]

The original movie sucked, why would the remake be better?

[Let's Chop Cats!]

ehh its going straight to video, but it will be terrible.

[Aeaon]

The cover convinced me not to even see the trailer.

besides this being really dumb logic

Not at all, actually.

[Surtr]

It has Nick Cannon in it. Ummm...

I'm sorry but I can't see this being good.

[planewreck]

Not at all, actually.
there's always room for improvement to a bad original so well okay

[thedeadwalk!]

There sure is a lot of night time in there. Also some zombie movement that reminded me of House of the Dead which saddens me more than seeing a bag of puppies thrown in a lake. Of course, the unforgivable act of putting Nick Cannon in any role save Horrifically Mutilated Extra #2.

Another worrisome aspect is I've heard they made Bub a vegetarian, and that's why he won't eat people. :(

This film could make me cry.

i don't think that happens ever, or ever has.

there have been better remakes of good originals but i can't remember a single terrible movie that was ever remade into something better.

The Fly?

[Gnarmageddon]

It's going to be terrible.

[Cocaine]

this is old news.

and like someone said, day of the dead sucked anyways. and besides, there's already day of the dead 2 to ruin its name so who cares at this point.

[Luc214]

Day of the Dead didn't suck.

Out of Romero's zombie flicks I've only seen Dawn and Day, but I think Day was my favorite.

[Scuba_Steve]

"you see a black man with a sharp stick and its a spear?"
"Why do white people always want to split up?"



Nick Cannon is awful.

are we taking generally horrible films or just any film remade into something better

cause the fly, dawn of the dead, the thing and a bunch of others

[Luc214]

"you see a black man with a sharp stick and its a spear?"
"Why do white people always want to split up?"

I laughed at those both, but not in a good way.

It was more of an "omg I can't believe they put that lame attempt at humor in a horror film this is definitely going to suck horribly"

Nick.

Cannon.

is this new to you

[Luc214]

is this new to you

No but I usually avoid most recent horror films and trailers, and don't go to theaters that often.

For some reason I thought this was being done by Zack Snyder, and since the Dawn remake was good I assumed this would be too, if this was done by him.

[Cocaine]

This has been coming out for so long now so I mean who cares.

I'm talking about all acknowledged plain-old-bad movies. I don't think a single terrible film has been remade into a widely acknowledged better movie in the history of film. Day of the Dead was a horribly overacted piece of gooey, barely-held-together tripe even by Romero's campy standards. It's a big low point for such a classic franchise. This remake serves absolutely no purpose except to cash in on the release of Romero's fifth film.

The remakes of the films you mentioned were all good (although I still like the original Dawn of the Dead more), but all were remakes of films which were acknowledged classics of the sci-fi/horror genre. The original Fly hasn't aged particularly well but it's a classic. The Thing was a remake of a movie which was terrifying and awesome in its day and even still today for some people, and which lent much of its inspiration to Invasion of the Body Snatchers, itself a classic that has been remade both very effectively (1977, in my opinion a rare example of a superior remake) and very poorly (1993, 2007). The general trend with remakes is that they tend to suck, and also tend to be pointless, generally because the films that inspire them are always better. This remake is doubly pointless because the original already sucked without any help from a sucky remake.

[AlienEater]

Day of the Dead was the best in the series.

and the remake of The Thing is one of the greatest films ever.

the original Fly was also awesome

[Spiritofmosa]

right... im not a old school zombie fan and i have never heard of Day of the dead. whats next night of the living dead ?

[ZapatoDiablo]

Night of the Living Dead was Romero's first. Then Dawn then Day. My friend saw the Day remake somehow and he said it is TERRIBLE.

[ATM]

Might be worth watching if Nick Cannon gets killed.

[Cocaine]

Night of the Living Dead was Romero's first. Then Dawn then Day. My friend saw the Day remake somehow and he said it is TERRIBLE.

He probably saw Day of the Dead 2. I think this has been recut a dozen times to get it released but people finally just decided it was **** so they're doing straight to dvd.

they're remaking the thing?

[Cocaine]

The Thing was a remake.

[Iskandar]

Yeah so the zombie trend really sucks and should have died a long time ago

[beans]

The Thing was a remake.

i know of 'the thing from another planet' but i guess they're remaking john carpenters version, which will be sick
