I’m Trying to Keep An Open-Mind, Really, I Am: Heathers The Remake

 

You’ll notice that nobody in the world of literature is asking John Green to reimagine Wuthering Heights for a new audience, but apparently when it comes to movies, nothing is sacred. Sure, there are the occasional decent, and even sometimes good, remakes; but in general, these attempts to revive something (that is usually not even dead to begin with) and milk it like a prized cash cow are futile. Dare I mention the recent Rocky Horror Picture Show remake? We all saw how that turned out.

If you’re curious, you can watch the trailer here.
