Can't Top It

Somebody in Hollywood decided it would be a good idea to remake this movie

Why? It was very good (as far as psycho slasher movies go, one of my favorites) but not good, or popular, enough to warrant a remake. Yes, I know they did a sequel - dumb, dumb, dumb. And let's face it, you won't get a creepier bad guy than Rutger Hauer, and when you do a remake you risk killing the cult following built by the original.

Not much info to be had on the new one

They are making a sequel to Bloodrayne which lost money, so who can figure out there motives, except they are out of fresh ideas.

Have you ever seen Split Second? I thought Rutger Hauer did an excellent job playing Harley Stone. I'll have to check out The Hitcher when I get a chance.

I haven't seen Split Second, but I may have to check it out - he is one of my favorites, especially as a bad guy.

Even though he was older, I still wish they had cast him in Interview With A Vampire. Tom Cruise was no Lestat.
