Favorite Horror Movie Remake

[horcrux2007]

The Ring, The Thing, The Fly, The Grudge, Carrie, Evil Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, and The Crazies are my favorites.

there are some passable ones, carrie...i liked the nods to the original, rob zombies halloweens for the gore and artistic content, let me in...kept its quite bleak feel, i spit on your grave as it also kept the tone of the original and didnt change the knob cut scene, geoff goldblum in the fly i love, i like 13 ghosts too, im sure theres more......

and now to my least favorite, three words....THE WICKER MAN!!

Not a huge fan of remakes (I'll watch them but not with anticipation) but they did a pretty decent job on the last house on the left remake

Last House on the Left remake was decent, while Carrie was downright horrific. I would say out of all the remakes we've had, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been at the top.

I realize the original was a great film by William Castle, but the remake was still really high-quality in my opinion (despite negative reaction).

I have to agree. 13 Ghosts remake was amazing. The set of the entire house was brilliant. The acting was great, the ghosts were fucking AMAZING. The ghost glasses were fun.
The original bored me right away so i didn't watch much of it.

Its not the most popular opinion, but I really liked the I Spit on Your Grave remake. It was plenty of fun.
