I think re-makes (if they are good and bring something new to the table) are extremely cool.
You have to remember that the new generations of horror fanatics are, well, just that, a new generation raised on new generation horrors. Naturally if you're a horror fanatic you're destined to at some point atleast watch old horror flicks and either like them or not.
Whichever, like them or not, you're bound to be curious to what a re-make of an old horror movie will look like and if it didnt satisfy you the first time, maybe it will this time.
Personally, I cant wait for this to be made:D
