This is one of those classics that should be remade

Don't get me wrong, I hate remakes, I hate what they stand for, I've never even seen a decent remake in my life. But, I've seen a number of movies and only 2 of them have I considered movies that should be remade. One is "Blackboard Jungle", the other is "Eyes without a face".

Particularly, because they have great stories and concepts, but the execution of both wasn't grand. Especially eyes without...

I felt this movie had such a fascinating concept and set-up, but just didn't deliver. There wasn't enough suspense or thrills, the movie was way too short, like 80 minutes long. If the movie were to be more thrilling, more action, and about 40 minutes longer, I think this could be a great, new horror movie in an age where horror flicks absolutely suck @ss.

I normally hate remakes but I wouldn't mind seeing this remade as long as the right director does it. I don't want it to be a stupid Hollywood remake.
