Idea for remake

They should remake this film with a gender reversal. A naked woman named Stacy Warren (instead of Warren Stacy) who goes around killing a bunch of guys who rejected her. And a tough female cop could be on her trail. Her wimpy son, a medical student, could complain about his mom never being there for him. And of course the interrogation scene...

"Do you know what this is, Stacy? [pulls out a vibrator] It's used for #$%#$%#$#%! Look at the pictures of these dead guys! Look at them, Stacy!"

"Stop it, Lena [instead of Leo]! You know what they say about evidence obtained under duress!"

And of course the phone booth scene (now on a cell phone)...Stacy could call herself "Pedra" and make obscene calls to the guys.

God this would be a funny remake!

Holy *beep* I got a good laugh from that one! That is a funny idea!.........It could be called "10 to Menopause"!

10 To Menapause wouldn't be any worse of a title than 10 to Midnight! The scene at the beginning, she walks up to the van and a couple is having sex. She kills the girl and the guy runs away nude. "Please don't hurt me!" It just seems funny as hell to imagine all the roles reversed.

The girl from May would be the excellent "Stacy Warren". If you haven't seen May, do so it's one of the few thought-provoking slasher pics.

I think they should indeed remake it then i thought of gender reversal and the only way I could see it working is if Stacy warren wasnt born stacy warren and that the men didnt outright reject her but one had almost went to bed with her and discovered she was really a man put a sleepaway camp type spin on it.

Other than that I would have a hard time believing that like a bunch of single and or whorish guys would reject a good looking girl for coming onto strong.lol

For once, a proposal for a remake that's actually quite good and clever.
