So true. Although the remake of Fright Night surprised me in this regard. Not sure if it's better, but it's not as abysmally bad as they generally are.
I'm quite fond of the TV movie The Woman in Black from 1989. It's a very creepy ghost story about a lawyer Arthur Kitt who's job it is to inventorize or whatever it's called this mansion left behind by its recently dead owner. Of course there's something creepy going on there ..
Now there's a remake out with Daniel Radcliffe in the lead. From the old movie, you'd think a remake would have the potential to be a sophisticated, exciting film, but my knee-jerk assumption is they probably turned it to ****. I still may have to watch it though.
