A glimmer of hope for the remake comes from Christopher Mintz Plasse who says that the film will be made with an R Rating in mind and that they will not be heading for Twilight territory...
Another actor - James Franco says "I've seen some footage of the bloodier scenes, and I personally am a huge horror fan. What I like about this movie is that they're really going for it," he said of the film's hard-R rating. "It is disgusting, but not in, like, a 'Saw'-type way, where it's overly horror-porn that's almost unnecessary. This one, they're definitely going for it. It's a hard R."

Add to that the remake is actually being made by the original film director's own production company...
We shall see.
