As long as it'd not be a rerelease a la "Blackhorse", at least a halfway watchable version could probably get a chance of passing through these days. One never knows...
As for the hatred against the recent wave of mainstream remakes....I find that to be a total waste of energy, really, as there's good horror made in so many quarters outside Hollywood these days, I wouldn't make the future of the genre solely depending on some major fat cat's idea about "scary movies".
As long as "horror" is a hot item in the (Hollywood) mainstream, genre filmmakers all over the globe have it a lot easier to get their flicks financed and distributed- so we're profiting from whatever "Hollywood" is cooking up for the casual cinemagoers in any way.
