It might be good.

Maybe.

What angle will they approach it from? Origin story of one of the priests or the demon itself? 
A remake will have a tough time being better since the first one does give us rich characters and we do get glimpses of their backgrounds. Like are they going to explore how or why the demon attaches itself to the family? But that was done in a way in the fantastic, Hereditary (2018), were the origin of evil is explored. 
so I’m curious from writers standpoint.

Whatever they do they need to be original and not just do a shot for shot remake like Gus Van Sant's Psycho remake, which is awful despite being pretty much the exact same film as Hitchcock's original.

I have some faith though, not all remakes are automatically bad.  The 80s versions of The Thing and The Fly were both remakes, and the late 90s The Mummy is fantastic, despite switching genres from horror to adventure.

August nominations so far:

Films that have been remade 

Films you thought you would hate but actually really liked

School movies

Three categories doesn’t seem like enough, yes? How about Sequels but only #2, not 3, 4, 5 etc.

Nominated by @Con we have school/college films.  This spans a wide number of genres so I'm interested to see what gets nominated.  The winning film will be picked over the weekend.

My nomination is the Lindsay Anderson film if...

@BryannosaurusRex uhh, one choice?

So the easy one would be Animal House but I’m going to go with Taps, a movie I remember liking in my youth. It starred Mattew Modine and a young Tom Cruise. I haven’t watched it in decades and this would be a good excuse to watch it again.
