It’s the same argument I have against a remake of The Evil Dead. Sure, the movie could probably be improved visually, but if people already like the original, what’s the point of making a new one that will almost definitely be inferior?

The main thing is to find an actor and honestly i don’t think anyone can repeat CYF best performance.

Thankfully that one hasn’t happened, and hopefully this one won’t either.
