Favorite Horror Movie Remake

[tiff_vicki_bride]

dawn of the dead 2004 remake I actually like it better than the original because there is more gore and the zombies look more bloody and also the movie is more fast paced in the remake. :cool:

That being said, I can appreciate and oftentimes prefer sublety and understatment in film. Especially in a horror film. A quiet and well acted scene of tension can speak alot louder than any piece of gore someone can throw at the screen. :)

I've seen the original lately and I like it better, the atmosphere in it is better.

I actually like the remakes done by Dark Castle -

House on Haunted Hill
Thirteen Ghosts
House of Wax

I didn't expect to, but I really enjoy them all! I was hoping they'd do more.

'The Hills Have Eyes'
Or maybe 'The Evil Dead'

Night of the Living Dead. I think Savini did a fantastic job.

I thought the remake was a lot better than the original. In the original too many things are left unknown and in the remake we get to know more about these small creeps.

Also the ending is much more exciting in the remake, the original had quite a bland dissapointing ending.

I find this thread depressing.

my favourite remakes have to be;

Rob Zombies Halloween UNCUT
Dawn of the Dead
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003
Evil Dead (although not as good as the original in many ways especially Bruce Campbell) ;)

but as far as Friday 13th & Nightmare on Elm Street go, even though they are my favourite horror movies EVER! i think their remakes were very weak :(
