That was a really good remake, definitely high on my list. I really enjoy Cronenberg's work, in general.

Sorry, I must have misinterpreted your statement.

I hate remakes but i guess i would have to say The Crazies. I hated the original and actually really liked the remake

Couldn't pick my favorite between The Fly and The Thing but they're the top two, I also dug the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Night of the Living Dead (Savini's), and The Blob remakes.

Most of the "remakes" have been more re-imaginings.......The Thing and The Fly ...two mentioned...both great re-imaginings ...the only true "remake" I can think of is the 1998 Gus Van Sant remake of Psycho....and that kinda sucked.

I consider reimaginings to be a type of remake. These are the four types of remakes: reimaginings (such as The Thing, Dawn of the Dead, and Thirteen Ghosts remakes), modernization (such as Black Christmas, The Fog, and Psycho remakes), encapsulations (such as Friday the 13th, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street remakes), and foreign horror for U.S. audiences (such as The Ring and the Grudge). My source is the book Horror Movie Freak. Even if you don't agree with the book, I think these are good classifications for horror movie remakes. As for the Psycho remake, it was perhaps the worst horror movie remake in horror movie history.

I haven't seen it yet, but when (if) I do I might agree from just the little I have seen. Plus, the original Fog movie was brilliant. But, the Psycho remake will always be very high on my hate list of horror movie remakes.
