"Nay"
A woman with her back drenched in sweat, runs away. Then darkness follows as an eerie sound of a camera takes a snapshot. No music, only the sounds of quick footsteps and lots of heavy breathing echo in the dark when suddenly, a rumble of a chainsaw hacks through the tension. “Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003),” is reborn from its 1974 original, but are we still afraid or are we, sitting back scratching our heads wondering, “Oh no, not again!” Horror movie remakes, hate to love them or love to hate them?
Are studios losing their spark for originality or is this simply a genre that even if it flops in the box office, can reel in more profits on DVD and cable as MSNBC contributor, Dave White points out in the article "I Spit on Your Horror Movies Remakes, Sequels (2006)." Suspenseful thrillers may have jumpstarted our hearts back in the 1970s, but over 30 years later it hardly has enough impact to keep a pulse.
