I've wanted this movie to be remade since 1975!
When I was a kid I saw the original movie in the theater twice because
I thought the CONCEPT was a great idea. But at the same time, I HATED
the stupid, inept actions and dialog of the four main characters.
Even as a kid, I knew the audience was much smarter than any one of
these losers. I typically cringe at remakes of classic horror films
using dumb teens in lead roles but in this case, a remake can do little
harm to the characters unless the filmmakers abandon the chase concept
altogether. So unless the previews for the new film just look
ridiculous, I for one will be in line to see this remake when/if it
gets made.
