Bet anything-ass,gas or grass-(well-not my ass)-it'll be one of them PARANORMAL ACTIVITY or endless BLAIR WITCH found footage rip offs.

is it me or are all these new big horror films essentially the same movie now? looks wise, tone wise, sound wise, acting wise, special FX wise... everything, whether remakes or 'originals', they all seem identical

Yup "cool" teens in horror movies. Sex and violence.

I dont give a f**k-I like what I like-most-MOST-not all-I have seen some good modern horror films-Im like Forry Ackerman-I aint a snob-if it gives me a jolt or makes me happy-if its WEIRD-I either like it or understand why others do.

oh yeah, not getting snobby about it or anything... just seems to me like the 'way' to make horrors has become standardised these days. this trailer looks like everything else. there even seems to be one standard noise for jump scare moments, that every movie uses now. compare to say the 80s when here seemed to be a lot more diversity. anyway, I'm just ranting...

there'll come a point where every horror has been remade, what will they do then lol

Doesn't really need a remake, but I really liked the trailer for some reason.
Especially the clown-scene was incredible.

I'm sorry but, I disagree. Seeing the clown doll move and drop to the floor when the flashlight gets close makes it more cartooney and less scary. The original simply had it disappear and the lack of input from it was more frightening.

I wasn't really a fan of the original.  It was pretty cheesy. 

I may see this eventually but I'd wait til it's on HBO or something.

I don't know it doesn't look too bad. I just get a bit sick of too many scares in the trailer.

This makes me think that a watered down remake of The Entity can't be too far behind...

Looks like there's a little too much Grudge and Paranormal Activity in this from the trailer. Just looks like every other haunted house film these days. The original Poltergeist legit scared kids and people back in the day and often as much by what wasn't shown as what was...

The trailer is giving away things that were late reveals in the original movie. It also sounds like they have dropped the devil from the story.
