I also agree we don't need this movie remade. However, I don't think it's fair to say there are no ideas in the movie for contemporary audiences. There's a lot of subtext if you look past the religious layer! It really is a masterclass in horror

    I think what they meant is that the reasons it's a masterpiece aren't really related to the story or concept itself but probably more in the execution and subtext. So it doesn't matter if you make a new one in-universs, because the universe isn't what made it good (I think...).
