Remake won't be as good. Horror movies made in the 70's and 80's have a certain quality to them that can't be duplicated or enhanced.

Oh MAN, I wish there were still malls like that these days- 1980s interiors are so BITCHIN!!! ;) These days its all boring sterile guff.

Love this flick.... I saw this a few years ago on HBO. Like a poster said, 80s movies have a quality to them that noone can duplicate... Also, the scoring on this film is so on point.

most of Cronenbergs early stuff is demented horror :D I also like his new movies Eastern Promises or A History of Violence but damn he had his peak during the 70ties and 80ties for sure.

CG can be good, if used sparingly and only when it's absolutely needed.

Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies for example is a good example of CG done right and a creature like that would be down right impossible to do with puppets and look believable.

I really believe that if it can be done on camera, then they should.

[mitrooper]

Also, because the over-use of digital effects, everything looks frikkin' clean' if you get my drift, movies from the 70's and 80's used on camera effects, which made the stuff look used and dirty.

Jeez, in modern movies they even don't use on camera blood effects and body hits anymore, they use cheesy fake looking CG blood effects, everything now looks like a damn computer game...Again, boring like hell.
