Please stop buying tickets to horror movie remakes
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"
"Dawn of the Dead"
"The Fog"
"When A Stranger Calls"
"The Omen"
"The Hills Have Eyes"
"Black Christmas"
"The Wicker Man"

Please. You're only encouraging them. The days of superlative remakes (Philip Kaufman's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"; John Carpenter's "The Thing"; "The Fly") are long past.

All I know is: when some vile studio decides to bankroll a "Jaws" retread, I'm going on a murder spree.

4. Yeah, otherwise they'll remake The Wicker Man with a cast of Americans
Oops, too late. :argh:

5. I don't buy tickets. I wait until they come out on DVD
and then get them from NetFlix.

6. I actually liked the remake of "Dawn of the Dead"
although I am not a horror film fan much less an aficionado.
