Re: Best Horror Remakes
Haven't seen four of those. Don't feel overly bad about it.

You're fucking mental if you think these are better than the originals. I'd almost include Wicker Man, but that shit is hilarious. I agree about the rest, though, minus a few I haven't seen.
Re: Best Horror Remakes
so we're clear, i personally wasn't listing mine as better than the originals. (though in some cases they are)

Re: Best Horror Remakes
God no, I'm simply ranking all of the remakes I've seen. Those are all atrocious remakes, but they're better than some of the worst remakes I've seen. Halloween is a bad remake, and I don't much care for the movie, but it was by far a better movie than 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street.Slaughterhouserock wrote:Jigsaw wrote: 14.

I didn't indicate which remakes I thought were superior to the originals, but I could if anyone would want me to.

cat people is completely better than the original, so watch that even if none of the others.

Re: Best Horror Remakes
To be fair to me, I've not seen the original Cat People either. Just don't have as much an interest in that one as I do many of the other horror films from 1930-1950.zombie wrote:i meant you should feel bad about it, to be clear.Jigsaw wrote:Cat People, Let Me In, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Night of the Living Dead.zombie wrote:which four? and you should.
