What are some movies you've seen that, although a good premise in general...or had a certain magic to it, just fell flat in the end? Any you would think would actually benefit from a recreation?

Since obviously this is the age of grave robbing...

I think "Don't Look in the Basement" was always a cool little movie, although god-f#@$ing-awful in reality. I think a remake of that would be great really.

"The Crazies" I always thought would be great to remake, I heard rumors it was being done a while ago...for all I know it still is.

On a side note, David Cronenberg should have directed "Nightbreed" instead of just acting in it, although obviously it was cool as hell. I wouldn't mind seeing that movie done again if that was the case. :D

(To date the only remakes I've enjoyed would be The Hills Have Eyes and Night of the Living Dead. Most others are generally sterile and poorly realized. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was enjoyable but just did nothing to carry the feel of the original. I still own it and enjoy it but to carry that name I feel it should have been a stronger film...as is the case with Dawn of the Dead. [/rant])
