Summary

The quote suggests that people should not compare "The Haunting" with the old movie because the creators did not have the rights to duplicate any elements. The phrase highlights the unfairness of comparing a film where legal restrictions prevent replication of previous material. It indicates that the comparison would be unjust as the creators were unable to recreate any aspects of the original movie without infringing upon legal protocols.
