I hear that christ that sucked... I despise that flick along with the Death Race remake.

The Thing, The Fly and The Blob rank among my favorites along with Savini's Night Of The Living Dead. Hooper's Invaders From Mars is totally fuckin' killer.

More recently I thought The Hills Have Eyes was impressive. Enjoyed Zombie's Halloween, Dawn Of The Dead and the new TCM flicks although they dumbed down the original works.

5. "2001 Maniacs" (Tim Sullivan, 2005) 8/10

Worst:

Best
The Thing
The Fly
2001 Maniacs
Halloween
My Bloody Valentine
(I know most people woulnt agree on those last two, I rather enjoyed both of them though)


Worst ( I havnt seen alot of remakes, not because there remakes, I just thought they would suck. So I skipped them.I skip alot of "orginal" movies for the same reason.)

Black Christmas
13 Ghosts
House of Wax
Halloween 2
When A Stranger Calls

[TwistedWitch]

By far the worst remake I have ever clapped eyes on is When A Stranger Calls.

Best was Rob Zombie's Halloween remake and The Thing I quite liked too.

2) The Maltese falcon

3) King Kong (yep i loved this)

Hey, I actually liked the 2oo3 Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, 2oo6's "The Beginning" was a lousy movie though, I actually liked the 2oo3 TCSM movie, better than the 1974 Predecessor.

Can't really say anything different than has already been mentioned in this thread, the lists all pretty much sum up my opinion. Not many people seem to like The Blob remake, I thought it was pretty good. They killed a kid which is annoyingly rare...

[Elvis_Christ]

I never really counted 2001 Maniacs as a remake. It was more of a sequel/homage to 2000 Maniacs to me.

Yeh? How come? I've always really liked that one and its good to see De Niro not playing a mafia dude for a change. Cape Fear has always made me think Scorcese doing a straight up horror flick would be interesting.
