It's odd one as people usually know about it but it doesn't have fandom/cult status to it. I think it's not a bad remake choice but then on the other hand I'd be just as happy rewatching the original. This is one film that gets put into rotation around Halloween round these parts.

Just a weird film that is a blast to watch. I actually don't mind a movie like this being remade, it was low budget and strange enough that it leaves a lot of room to expand on the idea and have fun with it with a decent budget and a good director. Though it is going to be hard to top Stilgar dressed like The Gimp running around the house trying to kill a tongue-less mute that is living in the walls. The surreal style really doesn't play well to most director's strengths, and I hope they don't go for more of a straight horror remake. But give this film to someone like David Lynch and you could have something truly special.

A strange pick to remake, because really, is their very many people who have even heard of this one? Again I re-iterate WHY use the same name. The horror genre is so malleable, that why not just 'remake the film' using the concept, but give it a different name. See Ils vs. The Strangers. See Who Can Kill a Child vs. Vinyan (well that's more of an hommage) See Doomsday vs. EscapeFromNY/TheRoadWarrior See Cars vs. Doc Hollywood (heh.)
