We may have found it: the cure for sequelitis, remakeosis and chronic reboot syndrome!

It's long been apparent that the well has run dry in Tinsel Town and overdipping has putrified the proverbial spring. Those rehydrated projects Hollywood hopes will engage and entrance audiences only enrage fans of classic films and threaten to taint already perfect childhood memories. Those few rooting for the do-overs of recently announced projects are lonely tumbleweeds in an arid, barren desert - round these parts, anyway.

Rather than dredge up bad feeling over the remake wasteland, we've instead discovered a swelling pool of untapped, inspired, sparkling fresh talent bubbling up over at YouTube. If you're going to remake something, really remake it, we say.

If even a few of these sources could be syphoned into the movie machine, we think good times at the flicks just might flow again.

See what you think of these rehatchings, built solely from the ashes of dusty trailers...

The Shining: A romantic comedy

Office Space: A slasher thriller

Zombie West Side Story

Scary Mary Poppins

You'll need to have seen the 1973 Edward Woodward (say that 3 times fast!) original and the 2006 Nicolas Cage remake to fully appreciate this next bash.

It almost makes the abominable rehash worth chewing through. We said 'almost'.
