It's about 95% in the Horror genre, which is sad because I am a gore hound. They are literally re-making everything! I love Rob Zombie's music as well as House of 1000 Corpses and DR, but the way he ruined all the characters in Halloween was the worst yet. Texas Chainsaw 2004, Dawn of the Dead 2004 were 2 of the better re-makes, but still not as good as the originals.
Toolbox Murders was re-made by Tobe Hooper and it had zero resemblence to the original.
April Fools Day...barf! My Bloody Valentine...barf! Friday the 13th...wait, when did Friday the 13th start in with the crappy hip-hop music? When did Jason keep hostages in the cellar?! Come on! Jason butchered anyone in his path! House of Wax went urban a few years back as well, Mr. Price is rolling in his grave!!!
Haouse on Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts were not too bad actually so I'll spare them my wrath
Last House on the Left wasn't too bad but the girl who played Sadie did a horrible job!
Now the new Nightmare on Elm Street is due out soon along with Night of the Demons! Two more classics to destroy!
I know I know, re-makes bring in the cash. That's what it's all about, the cash. Fine. That's what makes the world go round, I'm fine with that. Just sucks that Hollywood is promoting the destruction of original works of art to make a quick buck. It's a smack in the face to the real fans because it seems that most the people who love these re-makes do not even know it's a re-make, or would they have enough class to get the original first and watch it.
As a society we have progressed to the point where movies have to move faster, the film quality has to be perfect, and the actors have to be models. We are no longer entertained by the older, slower moving films it seems. I understand all of that.
I'm so sick of re-makes and everything about them.
*breath big boy, it's not the end of the world, breeeeeathe*
What the OP is forgetting is that there is always a NEW generation of people out there.
Just like the style of clothes...some from the 20's are re-introduced as being the NEW fashion.
Ford Motors had a slogan of "Ford has a better idea" which was the introdction of some things re-issued? with a slight modification. Many of the current car buyers were never born way back then.
So give it a chance...what some people don't know won't hurt them a bit.

Just think...the four track may come back.

What the OP is saying is that NEW horror movies are totally fine, totally accepted, but when a re-make comes out and destroys the original story it's not a good thing. For example: If Rob Zombie would have switched the story up and titled it something else it would have been a great film! I'm not saying these new film makers are making "bad" films, I'm saying that to remake an original as classic as Halloween or Friday the 13th is just plain stupid.
I like change. I'm all about the new trends in film, I support it all and buy many of the new movies, I just think remakes are a cop out. A cheap way for Hollywood to capitalize on past success.

It doesn't even try a new story line just goes straight with the old one. LOL. I love that!
It looks like Michael Bay did it...again. Seems alright, but did you see Freddy's face? No resemblence to Robert England, not scary one bit. Looks like your right, they just created a mirror of the original. But as with all the remakes, nothing can touch the original. I do estimate it to make big $$$ though.
No talent writers re make movies because they cant write one of their own.
its not even the re makes that make annoy me, its the plots used over and over for "new" movies
You know...couple of hot girls and some horny guys, their car breaks down or they go hiking and get lost only to come to a farm or a house in the middle of nowhere with some retarded grandchildren and creepy old parents who like torture...sigh
