It's either laziness or simply studio execs who don't have a single original idea in their heads.

It's easier to market a known commodity, a film with a fan base and where people have heard of it and know what to expect than one which is brand-new and takes much more money and effort to make enough people interested for it to be profitable.

This means a lot of sequels, remakes, reboots, and franchises.

The Mutilator 2’: Sequel to 1984 Slasher Movie Has Wrapped Filming

All these years later, the 1984 slasher movie The Mutilator is getting an official sequel, and Bloody Disgusting has learned this week that The Mutilator 2 has now wrapped filming.

Buddy Cooper returned to write and direct the decades-later sequel to the slasher he made back in the 1980s, and we’ve been told the film will be completed in September.

Terry Kiser (Friday The 13th Part VII, Weekend At Bernies) and Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey At Night, Haunt) star alongside Ruth Martinez and Bill Hitchcock from the original.

Alexander Taylor (Scream, Queen! My Nightmare On Elm Street, Isolation, Paramount Plus’s Unknown Dimension: The Story Of Paranormal Activity, Arkansas, Eli Roth & Jason Blum’s Crypt TV) has signed on to score the upcoming sequel, Bloody Disgusting has learned.

Taylor said in a statement, “I’m so honored and excited to be a part of The Mutilator franchise. One of the best parts of this is the fact that Buddy Cooper is back! It’s rare for a legacy film to have the original writer and director come back, so you know this is going to be special. Buddy and I already have some cool themes and wild ideas for the score.”

I’m not sure that’s a good selling point. Perhaps he just needs a better editor?

He clearly has no respect for Alfred Hitchcock's opinions on film length, and that's not a good thing.
