As Hollywood continues its 80’s & 90’s retrospective remakes, the 1982 horror classic co-written by Steven Spielberg, has been reinvented for the modern day. The original version, followed by its two sequels, have long been the source of controversy due to the fact five of the actors died somewhat of unusual circumstances. Minor details have
