watching the trailer for the "prequel" of The Thing, it looked like a remake of a sequel. |

Also, There'll be no need to deliver CGI deadites despite Hollywood's annoying obsession with the technology. Good 'ol fashioned make-up FX worked back in '79 and should do so again this time around.

The Deadites in Raimi's original were scary back in '83 and still shiver the spine now. Imo it's just the combination of palid facial complexions and those white Sclera lenses. Supremely and severly spooky! I just don't see the need for CGI to replace what worked fine in the first place. If it 'ain't broken, don't fix it. I'm not totally impartial to the usage of PC power as long as it's on an 'as and when' basis and not just employed seemingly for the sake of it as so often appears to be the case with many modern Hollywood offerings. Imo old school FX, even when perfectly applicable and servicable simply aren't seen as 'in' enough by the studio powers that be and subsequently we end up being buried under an avalanche of CGI trickery instead. You can add 3D gimmickry into the mix nowadays too. With the remake it'll be interesting to see if we get an initial look at the 'Wood Demon' this time around as we all know Raimi's first TED denied us this opportunity. Such an appearance came our way in the sequel and i believe many fans were disappointed by the physical debut of 'Rotten Apple Head' probably myself included. Such a potential occasion in the remake will probably be an instance when CGI FX comes into play more successfully and gives us something much more approvable to look at. But only time will tell i guess.

I am not sure that merely sharing a title qualifies for "remake" status. I wouldn't call Prom Night, Toolbox Murders or House Of Wax remakes really as they are just too different from the supposed "source". Toolbox Murders and House Of Wax were all the better for it. Prom Night was just a bad film. Remakes I liked: Nosferatu The Vampyre, Cape Fear, The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha, The Thing, The Fly, Body Snatchers, Fistful Of Dollars... Remakes I did not like: Dawn Of The Dad, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Fog, The Amityville Horror, The Crazies, The Haunting, Assault On Precinct 13, Disturbia (just about a remake, I suppose!), Godzilla, Quarantine... Remakes that were kinda OK, I guess: Night Of The Living Dead, My Bloody Valentine, The Ring, Village Of The Damned Remakes I couldn't bring myself to sit through: The Wicker Man, Friday The 13th (I started, but...), Nightmare On Elm Street, Last House On The Left, I Spit On Your Grave...
