Sometimes a remake is done really well, on par or close to the orignal even. What’s some of your favourites? Personally…

-The Crazies (2010)

-Dawn of the Dead (2004)

-Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Feel free to point out terrible remakes if you like as well. Why not.

    • The Thing (1982)
      • This is one of my (and the rest of the internet’s) favorite 80s sci-fi horror movie, but it’s also a remake of The Thing From Another World (1951) and is based on a novella titled, Who Goes There? (1938).
    • The Fly (1986)
      • Who needs Vincent Price when you’ve got Cronenberg, Goldblum, and Davis?
    • Suspiria (2018)
      • This was a sleeper hit for me. Great soundtrack and cinematography. It put the creepiness back in Argento.
    • The Ring (2002)
      • Not my personal favorite but this movie did more to raise the profile of Japanese and Korean horror than anything.
    • Evil Dead 2 (1987)
      • Is it a sequel? A re-imagining? A hallucination? I don’t know, but this is my go-to Evil Dead. The 2013 remake gets an honorable mention for being bloody, dark, and chaotic just like it should be.
