As a sidenote, it's sort of interesting that horror is commonly deemed as the lowest of all the genres yet has the highest remake rate.I don't know if that is good or bad?

Good for the studios, I guess. Horror films are cheap to make anyway, and when you remake something that already has a built in audience, that's guaranteed money. Not so good for us the audience, because we have to see something we love brutalized and fucked up for "a new generation of fans" That said, not all remakes are all that bad. I's day my choice remake is Amityville. I didn;t like it at first, but it kind of grew on me after the 2nd viewing, Plus, it wasn't like the original Amityville was a work of art.

Not a true remake, but I'd love to see a well-made sequel to the original The Howling. Just as long as they bring Rob Bottin back for the effects and check their CGI at the door.

Imagine what they could do now with the Blob? Okay : Slither. What do you think of the effects in that movie?
If I wanted to see a movie get remade, on the basis that they might make it look and play better, and not fuck with the story AT ALL (no added backstory is needed!)... Well, there's a remake of Shocker coming up. The original Shocker pretty much sucked all the way. I want a killer who is less of a wisecracker or ass-kicker (that shit is for action movies, thank you very much), and someone who's more of an actual boogeyman. Besides, this guy is never going to be better than Chucky or Freddy. Ever.
But, if I had to choose something that hasn't been remade yet, or for which there are no plans for... I would love to see them try to combine Demons (1985), John Carpenter's The Thing, and Stephen King's / Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, somehow. Teens get free passes to a movie that takes place in the winter, so as they go to the movie, outside the theater, it starts snowing (in June or August or September or May - one of those months), and the movie breaks or stops before it's finished and they get fed up and leave the theater and see that the world outside is the movie they watched. And they don't know what's going to happen to them because they didn't get to finish the movie. So then they have a choice to stay inside and hope what happened in the movie stays outside. Or take their chances trying to survive what happens outside.

I'd take a slimy bag of goo(Blob) over CGI leeches anyday. Die CGI, Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, the shark from Jaws was way better looking than that crap in Deep Blue Sea.

I usually hate CGI myself, but I didn't really care that there was some in Slither. It's such a great movie otherwise that I couldn't have cared less about it.

Well, I just can't forgive it. No way, no how. The whole fucking movie is tainted for me. And besides - it's water. They turned those worms into water with that cgi. Nothing looked good enough.
But you're right - a movie doesn't necessarily fail due to it's special effects. But those special effects do make Slither a Men in Black clone and takes away a great deal of any horror it might have on that level.

i liked slither because it was a fun movie..but the CGI was just downright ugly..but i think because it was more comedy horror thats why i didnt mind much..if it was a serious movie it would have been much more of a prob

I like a good comedy-horror movie. But the standard was set some time ago by movies that didn't use all this CGI. I don't really know when it started but it was pretty much popularized in the 80's.

Comedy-horror? Have you guys watched "Dead and Breakfast"? Some "singing" parts are crap but overall a great and ambitious movie.
