Most remakes are worthless. What's the point of redoing a good film? Do we really need another version of the 1978 original Halloween?
But this is a film with a superb concept that had the potential to be great, but merely turned out average.
With the remake of Childs Play and seeing how technology can be turned against our kids as well as ourselves, I would say this is DEFINITELY open for a new interpretation. There is so much more reason to believe that things like this are possible and could happen.
shareCall it "Season of the Witch" Find a small town, get Dean Cundey as cinematographer to capture the awesome atmosphere of the original. Have Carpenter himself involved as producer and soundtrack.
It could be awesome with today's reliance on technology!
