I haven't seen the Innocents, but I agree with you on the other two. The Haunting is one of the best ghost movies EVER MADE. Too bad the remake sucked so horribly.
SO true! The one w/Liam Neeson was a piece of crap and I laughed all the way through it, NOT scary at all. Now, the original w/Juile Harris??! Whoa! Scared me so bad that any thoughts of spending the night at Seaview Terrace have completely left me. NO WAY will I spend the night there, EVER!

I''m not a fan of re-makes. Off the top of my head I can't think of a single case where I thought the re-make was equal to, much less better than, the original.
Having said that.....the one good thing that sometimes comes of re-makes is re-newed interest in the original.
I agree w/this as well. I absolutely refused to see the re-make of Yours, Mine & Ours and will not see Poseidon. I'll watch the originals instead thank you very much. The ONLY reason so many re-makes are being made these days, IMHO, is no one in Hollyweird has any original thoughts. They have to go back to the classics to make a buck. Very sad. I DO think, like Raineypark, that the one good thing about re-makes is it makes ppl interested in the original and in most cases, like in the case of The Haunting, will cause said originals to come out on DVD. At least I don't *think* The Haunting was on DVD until very recently (like last year).
