I wasn&#39;t thrilled with the new Peter Vincent either; but back in 1985 there were still genuine horror stars around to base the character on! Cushing, Lee, Carradine and others were living and working! But now? Basing him on someone like Robert Englund or Tony Todd wouldn&#39;t make much sense!<br /><br />I generally agree with your review, though, but I liked it a little more!Burlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15471864627412228340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-65630339289684581902012-01-04T19:25:47.539-05:002012-01-04T19:25:47.539-05:00It was still a fun movie.

The tone may be all over the place, but it still has a lot of fun to it with blood, guts, and gore flying at you with good performances from the cast, especially Farrell who seems like he’s just having a ball with this role.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-12758693779320580252012-01-04T12:05:52.524-05:002012-01-04T12:05:52.524-05:00I&#39;m a die hard fan of the original (and its sequel) so I went into this one expecting a royal piece of shit, I was surprised to find out that I actually kind of dug it. <br /><br />Of course, I agree with many of the points you make, I hated McLovin as Evil Ed, and I wholeheartedly agree, I prefer McDowall&#39;s Peter Vincent, why change him with a wise cracking asswhole? <br /><br />Also, I prefered the make up effects on the original, on the remake they felt muted or almost non existant, while on the original the make up effects where a showcase of awesomeness. <br /><br />Didnt hate the remake, but it wasnt better then the original.The Film Connoisseurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-42200720130614507752012-01-04T05:16:43.904-05:002012-01-04T05:16:43.904-05:00there are a million of great ideas out there that hollywood has to chose from and they always go with trends. whatever movie is successful this year, there will be ten next year of same style. with the prices and economy, they need to think out of the box... george clooney does it and his films are very entertaining... yes i referenced clooney.<br /><br />we are not robots when it comes to movies... we know &quot;saw&quot;, &quot;final destination&quot;, &quot;fast and furious&quot; and any other damn sequels we will pile in on to see... but come on stop making re-makes, re-do... f&#39;ing copies... why don&#39;t you remake the wizard of oz or gone with the wind... leave the horror movies alone like &quot;footloose&quot;... come on that was scary even in the eighties.<br /><br />great day!<br />JeremyJeremy [JMH Digital]http://www.blogger.com/profile/12632829113267287858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-77380144211939084122012-01-03T20:13:57.718-05:002012-01-03T20:13:57.718-05:00I really hated this too, couldn&#39;t stand Farrell, barely sat through it. But it still didn&#39;t offend me as much as THE THING: PRE-MAKE OF THE THING.Aylmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14516338168860158163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-88633448248417754342012-01-03T19:43:30.214-05:002012-01-03T19:43:30.214-05:00Wow, I didn&#39;t even know that. Besides, the 2011 remake is decent to me, not better than the 1985 original and it&#39;s 1988 sequel. BTW, what&#39;s wrong with crappy remakes nowadays? The only remakes I hated are &quot;Fame&quot; (2009) and &quot;The Karate Kid&quot; (2010), and also we should make a new slogan: &quot;Skip The Remakes, Go Back To The Original.&quot;Jasonhttp://www.veoh.com/users/iloveentertainmentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-79861440056400012612012-01-03T19:41:34.753-05:002012-01-03T19:41:34.753-05:00This movie completely sucked compared to the original, which is why I welcomed the whole Chris Angel type thing with that dude from that one show. At least they changed that shit up and made it a little bit funny.<br /><br />Aside from that also, I didn&#39;t mind Colin Farrell. He was my initial reason for not seeing it (I think - it also looked shite boring as fuck), but he was pretty cool here I thought. Though the whole Bullseye thing really got me hooked on him.<br /><br />The rest of it totally sucked ass remake-wise. It even hurt deeply when I heard &quot;Oh you&#39;re so cool Brewster.&quot; Also, there were way too many Twilight references. People hate twilight, that&#39;s cool... putting multiple references into your film about how it sucks? Makes you look pretty desperate for material.Erik (Drunketh)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09925215482421450517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-24814016114718015202012-01-03T19:10:07.688-05:002012-01-03T19:10:07.688-05:00Haha, thanks! <br /><br />I went into this one with an open mind, but damn, it really stunk and it&#39;s hard not to compare it to the original since it seems to borrow so much unlike say, Snyder&#39;s Dawn of the Dead.Jaysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14883805003597885908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-12177083942728240432012-01-03T18:53:27.996-05:002012-01-03T18:53:27.996-05:00two words on your review...
