What about The Echo Remake ?
is that any good , I am watching sigsaw (2004) one right now!

About hour into the movie.

What about the Bad seed movies are they any good, not seen any of them.

I think that depends on more of what you're into. The original was subtle and gritty and the remake is over the top and in your face. Personally I prefer the original but I think it was a good decision to adhere to a different audience

I agree that it's all a matter of personal taste. I haven't seen the original in awhile but I remember not being terribly impressed by it and I think that the material was better served by the in your face attitude that the remake utilized. That being said, I can appreciate and oftentimes prefer sublety and understatment in film. Especially in a horror film. A quiet and well acted scene of tension can speak alot louder than any piece of gore someone can throw at the screen. :)

I think that mine is the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead, because I felt that it was a good improvement over the original. The special effects were more realistic in this one and I liked how they made Barbara into a stronger female character. In the original movie which was made in the 60's all of the female character's were pretty weak and didn't do much to help while all the male characters did all the fighting and planning, which I guess fit the social norms of the time. But since the remake was set in modern times it made perfect sense that at least one of the three women would be strong and would pick up a gun to help fight the zombies. I liked how they chose Barbara for that part because she is the first character we see in the movie, and I especially liked how she started off in the movie being hysterical like her character from the original but when she realized she had to fight to stay alive she started getting tougher and smarter, and she actually studied the zombies while everybody else was being irrational.

I actually really like the Psycho remake.

Really? I think that movie was quite terrible. They changed hardly anything from the original and the stuff they did change was unnecessary, if not stupid (The one exception being when they replaced the word coat with Walkman. I thought that was pretty funny). It was an insult to the original. I feel when you remake a movie, you should do something different from the original. It should be a completely (or at least generally) different thing (thus, I do not like shot for shot remakes).

I personally hate remakes because they tend to be even more horrible than the original with overused CGI.

However, I do like a few remakes that I think turned out okay.. ones that I can remember are 90s Night of The Living Dead.. I think Dawn of the Dead turned out okay too.. I surprisingly did not hate Fright Night.. and I think The Amityville Horror was okay too..

I have yet to see The Evil Dead.. I want to badly.

I think that there are a number of good remakes, but, it seems, for every good remake, you can probably find at least two bad ones. I definitely recommend the remake to the Evil Dead. I thought both the plot and the actors were interesting. Additionally, I liked how the film took elements of the original, but yet was still something completely different. I was definitely impressed and highly recommend it.

I agree with you, Metternich. I found it to be pointless, and I just cannot see Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates, and I think that speaks to how profound and spot on Anthony Perkins performance was. Nothing against Van Sant either, I have enjoyed almost all of his other movies (Even Last Days drug me in, contrary to what a lot of people I know/have shown the film to have said). Psycho just didn't work for me, either.

I knew the Psycho comment would spark some debate! Lol! But I do actually like it - I think it was a strange but interesting piece of filmaking. Pointless to most but there's just something bizarre about it I really like! I actually like all of the Psychos, even the old Bates Motel was okay!
