Sony Screen Gems Plans PG-13 'Hell Night'

It was revealed in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly that Sony Screen Gems plans on remaking Tom DeSimone's 1981 horror-slasher Hell Night, which follows four college pledges who are forced to spend the night in a deserted old mansion where they get killed off one by one by the monstrous surviving members of a family massacre years earlier for trespassing on their living grounds. But here's the sad news, "If you are going to make a movie for a bunch of kids, you have to make it PG-13,” says Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper. “You try not to make a movie for an audience that is older than your protagonist.” More PG-13 coming your way in the near future. Yay....

God, I hate Screen Gems. When I read that quote in EW, it pissed me off. Besides, the target audience won't even be allowed to say the title!

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't college age 18 in the US? Therefore the protagonists would be 18+ meaning an R rating. He's just gone and contradicted himself.

Yeah, but they could easily turn "Hell Night" into some kind of varsity cheerleading initiation rite. And if they do that, I'll sue them for taking my idea.

see,that's the problem there "making a movie for a bunch of kids." i remember seeing Hell Night when it came out in '81 and i remember it was rated R.not for kiddies! i was 11 at the time and part of the excitement for me was sneaking into and seeing movies that were not meant for me. i mean,that's a big part of being a fucking kid yes?

Ahh, I forgot about Hell Night. It was one of my favorites from the past. I didn't need a PG-13 limp dicked remake to help me remember it.

I alreday knew about this anyways a remake could be PG-13 b/c the original isn't even bloody or gory. They just have to make the killers look scary and have a great atmosphere like the original.

oh and when did horror movies become kids fare? if the little motherfuckers want to see their peers tell them to watch the Disney channel.

They were planning this years ago, what took them so long to get it together?

PISSASS! This SUCKS...they better do a good job with this. For real.

I'm not saying a good PG-13 horror film is impossible, however, the good ones are far and few in between. 'Jaws' and 'The Others' are the only ones that come to mind. Usually, PG-13 horror is lacking in any scares and the material is usually and obviously watered down.

I couldn't care less. I hated the original and I couldn't care less about this. I'll complain when a good movie gets fucked over.

Wow. Just fucking wow. The remake is unnecessary as is, but to dumb it down even more with a pg-13 rating is just bullshit.
