The Remakes Thread

[Pete]

I never liked the Hilss Have Eyes remake.

The US remake of THE RING was also surprisingly good & I also enjoyed House Of Wax.

The Hills Have Eyes I thought was better than the original.
My Bloody Valentine, not seen the original but the 3D one is stupid trash.
Dawn of the Dead I found was quite good.
Psycho I saw before the original and thought it was quite good, but when I saw the original I knew everything that was going to happen and didn't think it was that good.

I only clicked on the ones that I really like and those are:

The Hills Have Eyes
Halloween
My Bloody Valentine
Night Of The Living Dead
House Of Wax

I could take or leave the following:

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Amityville Horror (worked better in the cinema)
Dawn Of The Dead
Psycho

These were turds:

The Wicker Man ("STEP AWAY FROM THE BIKE")
The Fog
The Haunting

These were turds to begin with:

The Grudge
The Ring

And the rest I haven't seen.

No arguments here with those choices !

Whoever wrote the dialogue for The Wicker Man '06 obviously wasn't the smartest peanut in the turd!

I can't bring myself to even look at the box for The Wicker Man remake

Please tell me it is that bad and blasphemous

[Halloween_22]

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

Must've been a five year old....a frigging insult to a classic original.
