  I don't mind some remakes but the fact it's not even a year old and they're already planning a remake but won't release the original. They could at least release the original first before taking the idea, unless they have that little faith in how good a job they would do they don't want anyone in america seeing the original for comparison.

  They wont even release the original in america. Yeah, wonder if thats down to the whole people comparing thing. Surely they ust know that despite thir best efforts, when it comes to rehashing film and television ideas made famous by other countries that it usually blows up in their face. Dont get me wrong, they are not all bad (just cant recall the last time i saw a decent american rehash of a film or tv show from another country).

  Yeah a clear sign of low confidence when you don't want anyone seeing the original, can't be seeing anything to make the later half arsed remake look bad lol. There was a similar situation with the Rec remake (Quarantine), the remake was actually released in America before the Spanish original was.

  Good call on that, Jesslloydfan. It certainly doesnt say much for the powers that be's confidence in there own work if they all but realise that they are releasing an inferior copy. Pure money making exercise in that instance. Props to ya for bringing up rec and quarantine. While quarantine was (in my opinion) inferior to its original spanish counterpart, the remake still managed to do a pretty decent job.

  The problem  with zombies is that they are simply missinterpreted. Yeah, they may lumber towards you, all menacing like, looking as though they want to kill you. In truth they simply want to dance. They happen to be fans of all things Black Lace as welll (forget brains and human flesh, nothing gets one going quite like a classic Black Lace party dance lol). Costumed inspired obviously by Lucio Fulci's classic 'Zombie Flesh Eaters'.

  Quarantine was ok, as far as remakes go anyway, think they kind of made the lead woman a bit whinier than she was in the spanish original though.
  Not much use in expecting them to stop with the remakes though, that's never going to change (they are a little unimaginative at film studios), every notable foreign horror film/classic horror film gets at least part way into development for a remake .

  One new film for the thread, unable to find many others at the moment.

  Essentially a psychotic babysitter film by the looks of it, looks decent though. At least it's not a remake.
  
  Sure i saw some others i was going to post but drawing a blank on the names of them now.

  You know what , Jesslloydfan, i cant recall the lead woman in Quarantine being that whiney, but then, apart from the basics, i cant recall a grteat deal of the specifics. You know what that means - time for a rewatch (may have to wait until after christmas now though, its time to crack on with those). You didnt remark on the halloween zombie video. I have a special appreciation of the video as i know the person in the costume lol.

  Well she was whinier than the woman in Rec anyway, the whimpering pissed me off lol. I thought i had commented on the zombie video, must have meant to and forgot, who knew Zombies just wanted to dance after all that worry about them eating you.

  Ok. i told a little white one, jesslloydfan. I dont just know the person in the zombie dancing mash up video..i was the zombie. What can i say, halloween night out with friends,bit pissed before hand, had to be done lol. Will give quarantine a rewatch at some point in the very near future (heck, will give all the rec's to date a rewatch as well while im at it).
