There seem to be a few distinct categories where horror film remakes are concerned:
A. A remake of an absolute classic that outrages the fans from the word go. Like that Psycho remake or perhaps Evil Dead or Dawn of the Dead, although they're actually pretty bad-ass horror movies, remakes or not. B. A remake of a decent or well-remembered horror movie that makes people realize that, well, movies are a business. Most of the horror remakes fall into this category. Carrie, Fright Night, Amityville, Elm Street, and on and on (semingly) forever. C. A remake of a little-known or cult classic-style horror flick that may annoy some of the old-school purists, but doesn't even register as a remake to 85% of the viewers. That insane remake of The Wicker Man certainly qualifies here, as does the brand-new remake of the 1978 Australian thriller known simply as Patrick. Fortunately the new Patrick...

Patrick was a forgotten flick from the 1970s despite its qualities. Now Hollywood is bringing this story back with an assortment of new players and it looks wicked. Check out the new trailer. This remake crafted by director Mark Hartley and screenwriter Justin King looks absolutely bad ass. Theres a strong cast attached and a creepy vibe oozing straight out of the trailer.
