I don't consider this a remake at all. I consider it another adaptation of the novella Who Goes There?

Evil Dead 2013 was utterly fantastic (though I think it takes enough liberties that I think that it's probably more influenced by the original movies as opposed to being a straight remake).

My absolute positive favorite remake ever: My Bloody Valentine 3D. This movie was an incredibly fun theater experience; would love to see it in the theater again.

Piranha 3D was fun, but not as much of a blast as My Bloody Valentine.

I also thought The Grudge was really good (for quite some time I maintained that it was better than the original - Not sure how I feel about that now; I've seen it so many times that it's become a bit cheesy in my mind).

I really liked Cronenberg's The Fly and the 1999 House on Haunted Hill is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

Dawn of the Dead 2004 was also a mostly solid little horror movie.


The Halloween remakes were absolutely abysmal and about as necessary as a bicycle to a fish.
