With the remake of Speak No Evil out I was thinking about this topic. I can find that there are times where it’s OK to make remakes and times where it’s not. I like Chris Stuckmann’s take on it; if it adds something more to the movie than what was already there to begin with go for it. But if it’s just a frame by frame remake what gives? Why should I not just watch the original movie?

Speak No Evil is a really amazing movie that I really have a hard time understanding why they would make a remake of. It really did not need one, the original is really so good and effective that It will scare most people.

What do you guys think about this subject?

Spoiler alert: Do not watch the trailer of the remake if you haven’t watched any of them. It’s going to totally ruin the movie as it spoils mostly everything involving the plot.

    Oh shit. Is there another version of this? I’ve watched the remake apparently and didn’t even know there was another, better version… I actually liked the remake but I’m adding the original to my watchlist!

    Also I kinda agree with mostly everything you’re saying.
