The Ring, The Thing, The Fly, The Grudge, Carrie, Evil Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, and The Crazies are my favorites.

unintentionally so..now i love nic cage and noone does over the top quite like him but seriously in this even i cant stand it, the ending is soo cringe worthy i have to look away.

Not a huge fan of remakes (I'll watch them but not with anticipation) but they did a pretty decent job on the last house on the left remake

Vig 02-08-2015 03:19 PM

Last House on the Left remake was decent, while Carrie was downright horrific. I would say out of all the remakes we've had, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been at the top.

Additionally, I thought the special effects were brilliant. Despite all the good aspects of the film, it only holds like a %12 apporoval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I find that highly unusual. I realize the original was a great film by William Castle, but the remake was still really high-quality in my opinion (despite negative reaction).

I have to agree. 13 Ghosts remake was amazing. The set of the entire house was brilliant. The acting was great, the ghosts were fucking AMAZING. The ghost glasses were fun.
The original bored me right away so i didn't watch much of it.

Its not the most popular opinion, but I really liked the I Spit on Your Grave remake. It was plenty of fun.

I was completely bored with that film.

Jake.Ashworth 02-09-2015 10:59 AM

That's cool, to each their own. Do you have a movie to add to the mix?

What about Maniac?

Jake.Ashworth 02-09-2015 12:26 PM

That was a pretty good one. I like Elijah Wood. He plays dark pretty well. Kudos on the suggestion.

that was nicely put


as an opposite of this thread the worse remake and biggest let down in my world was EVIL DEAD. I now refuse to go to theater for any horror movie or get excited.

MichaelMyers 02-09-2015 02:35 PM

Ring

The Crazies

The Fly

Vig 02-09-2015 02:39 PM

I forgot to mention The Thing. John Carpenter's version, of course.

anglewitch 02-10-2015 02:14 AM

That is a good remake.

Jake.Ashworth 02-10-2015 04:18 AM

The trailer for Poltergeist looks legit, and I don't give a shit what anyone says 90% of the time Sam Raimi puts his fingers on something it turns to gold. He can do no wrong in my eyes... except in the case of Spiderman.

Jake.Ashworth 02-10-2015 05:01 AM

News yesterday says there is a definitely a new Halloween in the works. They are not calling it a remake, reboot, or re-imagining. They are calling it a re-calibration. It will not follow any of the story lines from the previous sequels from the original run or Rob Zombies versions.

Jake.Ashworth 02-10-2015 05:32 AM

OHHHH how about this for super controversial for a remake, they are well into the remake of Martyrs.

what the shit WHY? It hasn't even been 10 years!!!

Jake.Ashworth 02-10-2015 06:17 AM

They want an English version. They are tag lining it as "The Ultimate Horror Movie". Even crazier, its already done filming. It will be a big screen release which means that it wont be as brutal as the original. Its directed by the Goetz brothers. Ill give it a shot, but I don't have high hopes for this one. Im not a fan of dumbing down the brutality in order to get into theaters.

Raegan 02-10-2015 06:25 AM

so dumb-seriously. That movie was absolutely perfect. Just because some people are too lazy to read subtitles doesn't mean they need to remake it. Plus I have a feeling they'd change some of the story line. UGH.

Jake.Ashworth 02-10-2015 06:28 AM

Most of the time I am completely for a remake. This time, not so much. I will see it, because I love everything horror, but I am prepared to be disappointed.

Vig 02-10-2015 07:46 AM

What about Funny Games?

Fuck Hollywood - Bollywood needs to remake it.

Vig 02-14-2015 06:29 PM

The Town That Dreaded Sundown was a decent reboot. A step in the right direction to bring back the slasher genre from the grave.
