Day of the Dead... remade... I got 5 bullets left, any takers... Maybe save some by lining our heads up....
Day of the Triffids would be a GOOD choice for a remake.

NONE. Remakes are always a bad idea. The only kind of a "RE-MAKE" I can stomach is the kind made by a fan i.e. for example Dr.Sapirstein's version of Elm Street.

I would like to see Beetle Juice remade but with Sam Rockwell as Beetle Juice, hardly considered horror I guess, but an entertaning film anyway.

remake beetlejuice? i think that that would not be a popular decision, not in the least bit.

I'd go for The Keep. Loved the book when I was a young'un, hated the film.

Did anyone read sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek humor in the original post. I hope so with a suggestion such as beetlejuice! LOL

what about The Fly? or The Thing? Those remakes rock.

And a lot of the akira kurasawa remakes are good too, Fistfull of Dollars (okay the third remake of that sucked, Last Man Standing)?

LOL they can remake any film they want, I am so used to viewing them as seperate it does not bother me now.

TBH I find it strange, a true remake would be the same, so why bother? But by making a little different they make it more into a retelling for the times. LOL that is how I get the family to watch remakes now, I call them retellings in a more modern environment.

It was quite strange actually, the whole family were almost allergic to remakes, no idea why though. They would flatly refuse to watch them.

I would love to see a remake of Cronenberg's "The Brood" by an Holywood studio...

Remake The Thing?? this is impossible...Btw remakes are for bum kids with no love for horrorfilms and who are spoiled little brat people who don't appreciate the good old real works. THEY ARE BRAINWASHED AND WILL TAKE OVER THE EARTH!! THEY SHOULD DIE, DIE..DIE!! :beerchug:

I'll drink to that

The thing is a remake...

anyway, the Hills Have Eyes 06 is truest remake so far. (ignore psycho) That was nearly scene for scene.

lol, ignore psycho because that wasn't just scene for scene, it was shot for shot? :lol:

I don't like remakes, expecily new ones...

They remake some old classics with Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee and in they role put some young pop movie star (mostly top comedy star aka A. Kutcher) for a role of a ... I don't know...

look what happens to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre!

Leatherface becomes Jason like...

GrindCallus: The thing is a remake...

Actually, you can't compare the 1982 version with the 1951 version of The Thing, these are 2 very different movies. JC made The Thing its own. So i don't agree.

I would like to see Uwe Boll direct a remake of Ulli Lommel's Boogeyman so we could put to rest the "who's the worst director" argument

Psycho was supposed to be a perfect shot for shot remake with a new cast and in colour, stupid idea really and it quite rightly failed.

i have to believe it would be worse with Uwe Boll and the Boll Trolls behind the scenes :lol:

and yet it still fails to capture the original movie, proof of Hitchcock's mastery. I got it on dvd somewhere.

I couldn't agree more about Psycho, but IMHO it's more down the performances that Hictch managed to pull out of his cast and the atmosphere created by masterful use of lighting and the B&W film stock.

None of which are true of the remake

No one beats the master

Hitchcock is the man! :beerchug:

hehe, anyone seen that Michael Haneke may be remaking his own Funny Games

Can't see any point in it myself, as the original is a brilliant movie already. Hopefully he doesn't dumb it down, though can't see Haneke doing that.

Funny Games (2007) at IMDB:
