I'm back, and horrified to learn that the remake of the Stepford Wives will be a friggin' COMEDY!
GOD DAMN IT!!!
THEY'RE MISSING THE WHOLE POINT!!!! The Stepford Wives is supposed to be SCARY!
Now I have to see the original before they screw it up...feh. Better yet, I'll read the book...
Anyone else seen or read it?
-No Nukes, The Satanic Pikachu
I used to have the movie on VHS and I read the book about 20 years ago. The book is more chilling than the movie, but the movie is still okay.
I see what you are talking about, the genre entry on the IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/Title?0327162
Hopefully that is just the production team screwing with us. What is next? "Grave of the Fireflies" as a comedy?
This also reminded me of the recent post about "I Married a Monster from Outer Space." The movies have a similar feel to them. Woman, powerless and isolated in a society dominated by men. Plus, something substituted for people...
The Stepford Wives,wether comedy or horror,is a sucky pile of trash.
