I can kind of understand it for blockbuster movies where the special effects are the main reason to see the film (Godzilla, War of the Worlds etc) because nothing dates as fast as puppetry and CGI, and where a new interpretation is brought to a piece or something novel and interesting is added (Blade Runner, Scarface etc), but on the whole I find remakes quite unnecessary and indicative of nothing but Hollywood's greed and audience's laziness.<br /><br />Let the Right One In is one of the most stunning films of the last five years, there was absolutely no need for a remake.liminalDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621859737411962756noreply@blogger.com
