Doing a gritty reboot of a previously straight form of media
is such a cliché at this point, it’s become one of the best warning signs that
an imagined revival of a popular series is going to suck hardcore. Some films
may be able to pull off the idea, like the first Brady Bunch movie, but even that
was less about grittiness than it was updating for the times. So you can
imagine what happens when someone takes a seemingly-forgotten Hanna-Barbera
series from the 60’s and tries to turn it into a horror movie.
