Remakes...

[avenger00soul]

Okay, I'm not a fan of remakes. I hate them, especially when they mess with a great film. However, some movies could use an updated version. Willard is a good example of this. What movie would you pick to remake if you could?

[Ritualistic]

Avenger I would have to say "Nekromantik" a lot of people doesnt know of this movie but I would love to see a remake of it... I know a lot more gross shit would be done with it.. Have you ever seen it..??

Jesus...it's 27 dollars!! I ain't got that kind of money. Haha. Thanks for the link though. Hopefully I'll find it to rent somewhere.

Scarecrow slayer. I'm serious I loved the first one but the second one was just really bad. They could take out the crappy computer effects and put practical ones in there, and they could get better actors, I can stand bad acting but this acting was so bad I could not take it anymore.And the over acting really sucked like when the girl laughed her ass off at her own dumb ass joke, damn bitch almost blew my speakers.:mad:

LOL damn they went up on the price since I bought it... I bought it for 22 bucks last month.. That is still cheaper than paying over 50 for it.. Man you got to get this movie... It is a foreign film and it is hard to come by... trust me it will be hard to rent it.. It will be cut up like a mother fucker if you do find it... all the best parts will be cut out of it....if I had a recorder I would make a copy for you just so you could see it..

[avenger00soul]

I would love to see it if it's half as good as you say it is. I don't have that kind of money right now though. I'll check out some other sites and see what I can find out about it.

And after I praise ya in the Night of the Living Dead thread for know sh*t. Haha!:)

Ya know, here's a bad thought.......
Ritualistic can put his movie on his 'puter and get on some p2p type server then Avenger can download it.....but if ya only have a dial-up like me (unfortunately) it can take days to get it.....it's just a thought, of course.....and I know that's the bad thing to do politically wise...........my apologies to those who don't believe in using p2p!!!!:o :eek:

[roguesblight]

oh yeah, I don't know my remake yet! but I'll think overnight and get back to ya on that! I must sleep sometime ya know. O'course I have been up for almost 4 whole days now, maybe I never need to sleep again.........Oh hell no, I usually love to sleep, so now i plan on catching up...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ;) :o

[lilangel_66071]

LEt see a movie i would remake hmmmm thats a hard one there's so many. I think monster dog, it had alice cooper in it , it would rock if it was redone. Also tourist trap.

Sure, but only if Alice Cooper was still in it! That's the main thing I LOVED about it! Cause I grew up listening to him! He was, is and always will be Cool!!:cool:




ritualistic, sorry, no offense meant! That just makes ya cooler! Another girl!:D




ok, maybe i'd like to see Blair Witch remade! Better quality filming, show a bit more, but not too much, I'm not wanting it to be a gore fest, just more interesting and captivating! Scarier!!!:)

[SCREAMERatorX]

dont ask Y? but, i reckon a remake of The Thing needs 2be done....((but only if Kurt Russell was in it!...and he acted as well as he did in BTrouble In LChina ))
seriously, good concept with potential.

A Thing remake would suck why would you mess with somthing thats great. They would just use cgi creatures, and The Thing is already a remake of a black and whit one titled "the thing from another world" but the alien was completly diffirent.

The Sci-fi channel may be remaking the Thing as a six hour mini-series.:confused:

OK ok ... bad example of a possible remake .... i actually was meant 2say, a sequal for the thing would be the go!!
but since a six hour mini-series is getting done, NO NEED!!

i agree, re-working a re-work,, may not b such a good idea ...
i had no idea bout the one from the other world (although, B/W, well, well b4 my time,) and my horror knowledge is not extensive enough, but after hangn at horror.com 4 a week or 2, its expanding!!:o

Good to hear that your horror knowledge is expanding. But they have "re-worked a re-work": Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It's been remade twice and Hollywood is giving it another go soon.

[SCREAMERatorX]

Yeah...... Invasion of the Body Snatchers..

dont know much bout that 1 either..

why do u think they keep re-doing it??
is it written by a famous aurthor??

[avenger00soul]

Well, IMO, it's the greatest science-fiction movie ever made. The original film still holds up quite well today. I really don't see a reason for another remake, but you know Hollywood. On the other hand, sometimes remakes turn out to be cool. We'll see.

[SCREAMERatorX]

whats :: IMO ?? 4give my lack of forum termanology ... i am learning though....

Is it true about Dawn of the Dead getting a Remake??

coz, generally, the whole idea of remaking gives me the shits...
I STRONGLY reckon that originality is a must !!:p
however, 2 b honest and fair to the remakers, if they don't go out and give it a complete Hollywood Makeover, and keep its identity, it can sometimes work. Its always hard 2 "do one better" than a classic. U have 2 start 2 wonder if some1 remakes a movie coz they cant think of anything betta temselves and they want 2 cash in on its past fame...... OR if the whole story is made to adapt more to today's society. being that most original and entertaining horror is around 10-20 yrs old, I think that remaking a REAL classic for the sake of today's horror fans, and 2 get them 2 even give 'oldies' a chance,, remakes will continue 2 be remade...

its tha Reworked, remake, thats been re-made 4 the 10th time that should be put in the cabin and slashed....

IMO means In my opinion. Yes, the Dawn remake is about ready to hit theaters. I just saw the trailer and it surprised me. Maybe, just maybe, this won't be god awful.

LOL well albert fish is the shit.. even though he is one sick mutha fucka... and I guess talking about horror instead of babbling about it throws it off to everyone... no offense to the other women on the site... and yes I am the old shrunken man in the avatar... LOL

[roguesblight]

... and yes I am the old shrunken man in the avatar...
Well, I guess I'll just have to say the chick thing.....My you have lovely cheekbone structure!


Been a while since I saw any "Dead" movies, which one is Dawn? What's the setting, so maybe my old mind may be refreshed!

Yeah macumba is used it in it as well. as well as other zombie flicks.. when there is no more room in hell the dead will walk the earth.. and thanx roguesblight for the compliment LOL

[roguesblight]

yeah, okay thanks, i remember that one now! Which one took place in a military type complex under ground, or was that the beginning of that one? told ya it's been a while. Those movies are great whichever ones they are, and they make me think, what the hell would we do if that really happened?! Makes me shudder!

I was thinking more in the line of a deserted island waaaaaay out away from any dead thing.

And thanks avenger for refreshing my old memory.

[nightbreed]

i live in denver colorado and having done the math on a zombie apocalypse (hey look at me im super-dork), i think that the rockies would be an excellent stronghold. my main motivation for using the mountains as cover would be that the bodies of the zombies would deterierate faster in the summer and freeze in the winter, not a whole lot of easily acessable areas for them to gather in, plus i feel at home in the mountains. i think taking a road trip to the coast, finding a boat, and getting to an uninhabited island would be quite the risk seeing the area one would have to cross from CO. And honestly i dont really think a zombie apocalypse could last longer than a year maybe 1 1/2 tops. if youve ever seen how fast the human body decays when left out its pretty obvious that zombies would literally just fall apart after a few months.

yeah i know its pathetic. hey being a dork is the best.

this is one badass movie. this has always been a favorite of mine.. I really like when the dude is letting the platform down and all those zombies start going after them.. very cool :)

[nightbreed]

man when i was a kid i used to think that movie was the shit and now i realize how much it fucking sucks (IMO). I mean for fucks sake the zombies are fucking green. WTF is that?!? I mean yeah the whole consumerist social comentary thing was kinda cool, but still, wack. Slow too. Anyways Day of the Dead was lightyears better. Itsall about Bub. yeah. enough ranting, sleep now.

[Ritualistic]

Both Dawn & Day of the dead were the shit IMO .. Nightbreeder do you like any of Lucio Fulci movies..?? I myself love Italian horror, but if you think Dawn and day are slow then you may think Lucio`s shit is slow. But the gore is wonderful

[massacre man]

all i can say is texas chainsaw massacre wuz good remake

i saw zombie many years ago and i must say it was quite enjoyable. a zombie fights a shark? fucking metal. oh yeah and that final shot of zombies over taking the brooklyn bridge was hot.

oh and i meant to clarify that i only thought DAWN was slow as hell. I love Day of the Dead.

[avenger00soul]

Speaking of Zombie, I heard a RUMOR that Paul Anderson was going to do a big budget remake of the Fulci classic. However, I heard this a loooong time ago so it was probably just a RUMOR!!!

[Sean1605]

I like Fulci to an extent, but as Ritualistic pointed out a lot of people find his work to be slower, myself included. But he has one of the most memorable shots in horror movie history with that splintered piece of wood.


Argento on the other hand goes into more oddball stuff, but in the same sense as Fulci there's just something, I can't put my finger on it, but something I don't like about them as much as I do a lot of American horror.





And fuck Paul Anderson, I'm still mad he's going to fuck up Alien vs Predator, on top of me being mad he fucked up RE, and that Event Horizon got so much praise but I found it so boring.

[Sick_As_Fuck]

I actually have no problem at all with remakes. If they're done righ, then mre power to the director. The new TCM remake was incredible IMO, and I'd also like to see an Excorsist remake. Maybe a more scarier/darker Poltergeist remake as well.

[AUSTIN316426808]

I LIKE TO REMAKE EVIL DEAD. I KNOW ITS A CLASSIC BUT I WOULD TRY MY BEST TO DO IT JUSTICE.

Rotten Cotton had a "I like children. They taste good." - Albert Fish
shirt at the Fango Con. I almost bought it, but then thought better of it as I don't feel like answering the same fucking questions every time I wear it.

[Sean1605]

Anyone else just read the last page of a thread and reply? I do all the time.


But catching up:

Is Victor Salva still doing the next Invasion remake? I know he was slated to, and now he also is doing that WW 2 sci-fi nazi/alien movie or whatever, so I don't know what he's up to. Definitely a strange guy though.

A six hour mini-series of the Thing? Sci-Fi does some weird stuff...*watches Stargate SG-1*

During a zombie apocalypse Alcatraz would be the best place to go. They have this big canon there that was put there like hundreds of years ago to fight off the French I believe and later the Japanese...it can shoot like 360 around the island. But you could rip out the canon and put a giant fucking machine gun in there.

Plus, depending on what movie you watch, zombies aren't very good swimmers. But in most movies they're not very good anything.




And still, P.W.S Anderson can go screw himself with a scalding rod.

[avenger00soul]

Okay, I tried to quote you but the quote button keeps taking me to porn sites. Weird.

Anyway, Alcatraz is a damn good answer. Better hope it's not the zombies in house of the dead though, they can swim like bastards. Haha.

Hey I have a t-shirt that says I am "running out of places to hide the bodies" and I get asked about it all the damn time.. well in fact I have many t-shirts that people ask about. BUT hell I tell them it means what it means
