This is what's wrong with 'horror'movies today

This movie is just about the epitome of what's wrong with horror movies today. First off, it's a remake of material no one was asking to be remade. Second, they have "modernized" it because today's audience apparently just can't deal with period pieces (that or they're just too cheap to spring for costumes). Third, they do an unnecessary gender switch with the protagonist, perhaps out misguided efforts at feminism. Fourth, they sabotage any efforts at feminism though by casting a sexy bimbo instead of a someone who can, you know, act. Fifth, they manage to squander said bimbo by not giving her any nude scenes (in fact, this movie suffers from what I call "gratuitous non-nudity"--there's no nudity even in bathtub scenes, sex scenes, ect. where there really SHOULD be). Finally, they cast an MTV hunk instead of anyone remotely scary in the villain role (in this case, a role once performed by Vincent Price).

This movie was obviously made for giggly teenage girls who don't know who Edgar Allen Poe (or Vincent Price) is. Who want to see cute boys and attractive girls modeling clothes (but never taking them off). I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but "horror" movies like this ought to come with some kind of warning for the rest of us,so we don't waste our time.
