King Kong is kind of horror, it's about a giant monster after all. Now, King HOMER...that's a different story.

I haven't seen the original (even though i'm aware on what goes down), but explain to me why on earth they're remaking this? That tagline is pretty funny though, given the fact on what happens in the original.

Pssh, they should just call it "I Spit on Originality" and call it a day.

How do you remake a movie like that?
I'm calling it. I see a Cannibal Holocaust remake on the horizon.

They're never going to learn, are they? Give credit to Lionsgate, at least they follow through with their Saw sequels every year, for good or ill (well, mostly ill.)

That tagline is pretty funny though, given the fact on what happens in the original. OK, so the girl gets humiliated and beaten horribly...but apparently, they don't take the next step of rape that was a linchpin of the original movie. Is there something wrong with me that this bit of news kind of disappoints me a little? How do you remake a movie like that? I'm calling it. I see a Cannibal Holocaust remake on the horizon. Producer: OK, first we take out all that awful animal killing...PETA will be up our ass for that...then there's the rape and murder, that's gone...aaaaaand, the spiked woman is not going to sell in the heartland...hmmmm, what we got left? Y'know, no one really cares about hidden African tribes anymore, let's take that out...What do we have left... ...Got it. We'll make it Blair Witch Project...in the jungle...in 3D!! And we see the monster at the end! PG-13 all the way! Cut, print, money! Time for some more coke!

They also have the movie they bought from Sundance this year. The "Ryan Reynolds in a coffin" movie known as Buried. The entire movie is pretty much him buried alive with only a cell phone and a lighter. F***ing crazy. NO way i'm going to be watching that. Being buried alive ACTUALLY scares the living daylights out of me, especially seeing it in movies and TV. The only thing that didn't creep me out was when Quentin Tarantino directed that CSI episode (still one of the best episodes of TV i've seen).

Why does it look like they took a poster for a remake of THE BURNING and slapped "I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE" across it?

After The Crazies (really? really?), I can't really say that anything is surprising. I still can't accept that there's a remake of The Crazies, btw. How do you remake a movie like that? I'm calling it. I see a Cannibal Holocaust remake on the horizon. Isn't that what the Dimension Extreme release "Welcome to the Jungle" is?

Heh...that gives me an idea though: imagine if they crossed this remake up with THE GRUDGE....and just as the group of hillbilly idiots are finishing up with the innocent girl, they hear a familiar (to us) sound.... *CRRRROOOOOOOAAAAAKKKKKKK* Turns out our female protagonist made a stop over at a certain house in Japan before she headed out to the country! ;D ;D

However, I can't wait to see this movie! It's been a long time since I've been scared by a movie.

It's interesting that we're bringing up the "buried alive" fear, because it poses an interesting question (to me, anyway) - anybody here ever see/read anything in the horror genre that has literally had an effect on your life? Because I can give you a very embarrassing example from my own life. Remember those Troll book order forms you'd get in grade school? One time (and we're talking fourth grade here) I ordered a book from one of those called "Scary Stories for Sleepovers"...and despite it being a kids' book, there is a story in that thing that f***ing TRAUMATIZED me, to the point where, to THIS DAY, I take extra special care NOT to disturb any anthills I come across. I honestly can't remember the name of the story, but here's the way I remember it: some bratty kid is hoping for a big, expensive video game system for Christmas, and winds up getting an ant farm instead. Almost immediately, he starts taking out his frustration on the insects inside, constantly shaking the thing to knock over their makeshift anthills and thus forcing them to start from scratch. He does this approximately 500 times in the story, but it gets worse. Every time something happens in his life that he doesn't like, it's the ants who get the punishment, and he eventually graduates to forms of torture, pouring hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals inside the ant farm, enjoying the torment he's putting them through. Well, one day he returns from a day out at the mall, and finds that the ants have spelled out the word 'H A T E' with their tunnels, facing directly at him from the place where he keeps the ant farm. In terror, he throws the thing in the garbage, thinking the whole thing to be over...until he wakes up that night, feeling thousands of insects crawling all over him, already in the act of eating him alive. *BRRRRRRRR* So now, for the rest of my life, I'm CONSTANTLY looking down whenever I'm walking on a sidewalk. Lastly, man, what were these writers thinking? Really upbeat ending there for a kids' story, fellas. ;D
