I liked the original, sequel, and remake, I thought HIGH TENSION was a great slasher film, with kind of a lame duck ending depending on how jaded you were.

His remake of Hills, was a good film, but come on man, it was a COPY/PASTE of the original for sure. Like you were saying about PUMPKINHEAD, remake something that is a good freaking movie, but lacked in budget, although I don't catch what you're trying to say about the original pumpkinhead, which is a classic IMO, and I don't think the budget was lacking for their special effects.

I have a friend who always complains about older films, they go to film school and act like they "like" film, but don't have the patience to sit through a movie that might have to go for a less is more, motif due to budget/independant restraints. So of course they like remakes, over originals, and that right there is the problem. premature ejaculatures with no patience.
