I'm not sure why you're asking the difference, there's lots of differencesJigsaw wrote:I apologize if I'm being thick, but what's the difference between Carrie and It?DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Yeah, but I mentioned I wasn't going to focus on Readaption vs. Remake vs. Reboot stuff, that gets too so messy I'd rather have a simple list. You putting both Carrie and Shining on yours only further reminded me no one touched on It yet.Jigsaw wrote:I counted Carrie (2002), which is the same case as It.
In my view, it's an adaptation of source material (a novel), and the 2017 It is another adaptation of the source material, NOT a remake of the 1990 version. Same with Poe-related movies. Or Stoker's Dracula.
That said, I counted the 2002 Carrie, despite it being a re-adaptation, so I'd say the 2017 It is fine, but not the 1990 version.
Hopefully I answered the right question.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
this kind of gets into weird territory. is the sequel also a remake. but i think it chapter 2 should count, because it is a remake of the second part of the tv movie, for our purposes. that said, count them separately!

I love how this is probably one of the most complicated top ten lists we have made for the site.zombie wrote:this kind of gets into weird territory. is the sequel also a remake. but i think it chapter 2 should count, because it is a remake of the second part of the tv movie, for our purposes. that said, count them separately!

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
It's all good. I'm now more curious why you're leaving it out. But you said it's complicated, I think you're highly mistaken.Jigsaw wrote:If I may say this, and then sit back and relax, I do like all the ten movies on my list. But there's not one movie on my list that I think is better than the original in question, if that makes sense.Reign in Blood wrote:If just chap 1 is a "great" movie, it's on your fucking list. But it's also your favorite book, and they did a lot of things well and it has repeat value. And this is a fucking remake list, do you like remakes all of the sudden?Jigsaw wrote:I almost don't want to answer, but I will.Reign in Blood wrote:This don't make no god damn sense. Jig, if IT counts, why isn't it on your fucking list?
It (2017) is a great movie, but It: Chapter 2 felt more average. I'm trying to mentally combine both films' ratings, and judge then if the combined It/It: Chapter 2 would fit in my top ten, and it doesn't.
It (2017) and Chapter 2 is complicated to me, which is partially why I left it out. I certainly didn't do it to offend anyone.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
I don't mind the idea of lumping It Chapter 1 and 2 together. They'd probably hold the same position just simply because of how strong the first part is, and I still really liked 2. It's kinda like LOTR.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
I don't take the two movies separately, which is where my issue comes from, but it's all good in the hood. I'm happy with my top ten as it stands, though if It was thrown in to replace The Blob, I'd be cool with that also.Reign in Blood wrote:It's all good. I'm now more curious why you're leaving it out.

it's not so complicated, unless you make it to be.

Nothing, I misread the complicated non-sense. We're not separating the Chapters.zombie wrote:what?Reign in Blood wrote:What the fu... what are you saying?

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
fair enough. then i don't see the problem of not wanting to include the both onto a list, cause one drags down the other for some people.Reign in Blood wrote:Nothing, I misread the complicated non-sense.

I'll be honest and say that I don't get the analogy at all. Sorry, not a golf guy.Reign in Blood wrote:My bogey on the back nine analogy lost? You guys really love all those?

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
you're asking if we love all of our own picks? i really like all that i included (and a few more that i didn't have room to include)Reign in Blood wrote:My bogey on the back nine analogy lost? You guys really love all those?
but it could just be picking the ones that suck the least, for you. i guess.

I'm just saying... I wouldn't piss on most of these movies if they were on fire. Okay.

dvds don''t really burn well, in my experience. so save your piss.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
IT should count. It's a movie, imo.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:Can I get a ruling on the TV Remake bit (doesn't matter which came first)?
And it seems everyone's cool if we haven't seen the original to count, so I'll go edit the Masque of the Red Death in...
Edit: Looks like 1964's Red Death is the first film version, lol. So nevermind on that
