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.

Maybe I misunderstood, but you never know with this guy.

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.

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

And eventually. :P

Fair enough. My mistake.

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

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.
