I couldn't agree more. I have come to the conclusion that the movie industry is overrun with unimaginative, visionless dolts that seem more bent on getting out a quantity of films and have no regard for the quality. I was utterly disgusted by POTA even though I am a huge fan of a few of Burtons' other movies. I saw no point in that particular remake other than perhaps he wanted to demonstrate how much more talented a writer Serling was. Some "classics" do warrent a remake; I think the only reason the original House On Haunted Hill is considered a classic is because it's old and it starred Vincent Price. Although the remake ultimately dropped the ball with the story it did possess some very scary scenes that the original lacked. I wish that the Hollywood set would just be a little more discriminating when they decide to do a remake and have more motive than just 'Hey! It's time to pump out another movie!'
