I agree with TCM, the remakes are way better than the originals by a mile. But the Halloween remake was a disgrace and insult to film makers everywhere and a kick to the balls to John Carpenter, my point being that I'm down for some gore and mayhem
Producers of two recent popular horror remakes are planning to come together for a new supernatural gore-fest representing The Violent Kind. HR reports that Andy Gould and Malek Akkad, who produced the 2007 Halloween remake, and Jeffrey Allard, who exec produced New Line's two Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboots, are teaming up for this "Violent" project.
They are joined by fellow producers Michael Ferris Gibson and Jeremy Platt and exec producer K'Dee Miller on the indie-financed feature, which revolves around a group of young bikers who find themselves tormented by mysterious and gory goings-on in a secluded farmhouse.
Plot Concept: The principals summarize the film as centering on a "party (that) quickly turns wild with a typical biker mix of booze, drugs and strippers but shifts into something the likes of nothing they have ever known," including "mysterious figures glimpsed amongst the woods, ominous sounds heard and friends found injured."
Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores, known professionally as the Butcher Brothers, are directing from a script they wrote. The pair helmed the cult hit The Hamiltons, about a group of siblings who turn murderous after their parents are killed, which horror label After Dark Films released in 2006.

Solid! You are right. The Halloween remake made me angry. I thought the second half (which was a fast paced version of the original film) was okay. I just wan't down with Zombie's usual white trash expo being the reason for Michael being messed up...That is what made the original scary. He was a normal kid in a regular home who 'snapped'.
But I second your point....I too am down for some good old fasion 80s horror movie violence.
I'm usually complaining about remakes, but say was you will, Halloween and Texas Chainsaw "LOOKED GREAT". They may not stand the test of time as their originals, but the cinematography and the look of the films help with the fact that they are remakes. Anyway, that said, I'm down with a little Violent Kind. Neve saw "The Hamiltons" but sounds cool and anyone who goes by "The Butcher Brothers" have to have something going for them. Not sure if this is a "slasher" type flick or a "monster" flick. I'm looking forward to hearing a little more about it.
