Personally I thought Hills have Eyes was better than the original aswell. I also liked House of Wax, Friday the 13th (much better than I expected), Night of the Living Dead (I know its down right blasphemy but I'd take Savini's remake over the original anyday

), Psycho and I thought Amityville Horror and The Grudge were pretty effective. They were great in the cinema, gotta admit, they both put the shits up me when I went to see them

.
The Wicker Man and Dark Water are two of the worst films Ive ever seen, let alone remakes. I'm a big fan of the original Dark Water and thought the remake was absolutely dire. I Thought the Omen remake was pretty pointless really, it was pretty much a scene for scene redoing of the original and seemed to serve no purpose other than to cash in on its release date
