It was actually a house built over a normal cemetary where the headstones were the only thing that moved. And the "spook" that haunted them was not identified until the sequels. But who cares...another damn re-make!

Yet another remake of a classic... i think its time these directors and studios start making original films again... seems all they do is rehash comics and old movies these days

Hire some writers with original ideas. There are plenty of them out there.

You know it isn't to long from now until they decide to remake Jaws and the Excorcist. People don't want to belive it but it's coming.

Well the idea well has gone dry in Hollywood. I just hope they make it more Like The Hills have eyes remake and not a Bewitched remake. We'll see. I hope we never see a Jaws Remake. and reboots don't bother me because they save and improve...well so far Incredible Hulk and Batman begins were great. some would qualify superman returns as one but it was more of a sequel bc it followed 2 chronologically
