Zooms are too scared of pooping their pants and only watch capeshit.

I think biopunk and body horror is way too muh for zoom/alpha faggots. Although as a zoomer myself i love it, and i loved scorn as well no matter that game performed like shit. Wetware and flesh transforming is cool.

Hollywood is into making remakes of remakes and any sort of love/interest in the original source material or a genuine desire to make something original based of something has long since evaporated.

I like the remake because the hottie is such a hottie. Also, it better than people give it credit for.

Come on, buddy. We all know it was a remake. We all know that bullshit didn't happen right before the original movie and that there were actually le Americans there all along and only one Norwegian didn't speak English.

We have the Smile movies. The guys who worked on The Thing do the effects, so it's a logical extension of that film.

Carpenter secured decent budgets because of the rampant success of Halloween, but most of his follow-ups were either failures or very moderate successes.
So you’re basically asking why hollywood doesn’t give money to maverick independently minded directors who don’t care about return of investment. I think the marketing for the movie was not right for the era either but w/e.
The real answer is the seventies had a lot of low budget, independently produced films that made a shitload and it encouraged big money executives to invest in more interesting movies. This film was made on the tail end of that as producers became conservative again, until Batman came around and they started making total retard movies like Dick Tracy and the Phantom. Lest we forget we also had producers like Dino de Laurentis, money guys who became wealthy from foreign films and were now breaking into the american market, and I would suggest too these guys were much more open minded than the money men we have today.

Sinners is full of Carpenter callbacks and it's great.

Even Carpenter couldn't recreate this success.
