I don't understand why they would remake it.
Think about it, foreign horror is often remade but that's because the distributors assume that audiences don't want to read subtitles.
But this is an American film. And the best thing is for a little known low-budget indie picture to debut and hit it big and rake the big bucks (hello, Blair Witch and Halloween).
So why would they have the original, scrap it, just to make a "remake" with the same director? Won't that just be the same thing? Lmao.
I smell hoax. Because the thing does make absolutely zero sense.
