DarkSideOfLucca: Worst Horror Remakes

DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	Tomorrow will be a more positive day. I'm gonna do my favorite remakes :-)
BigBlob 10.17.18	texas chainsaw massacare remake was pretty awful apart from the fact it had a lot of Jessica Biel's lower half on show
WretchedCacophony 10.17.18	I kinda enjoyed the rob zombie remake of Halloween. But not as much as the original
butt. 10.17.18	I agree RZ fucked up some stuff with Halloween, especially the redneck backstory shit....but when we fast forward to present day michael, I thought it was much more enjoyable. not great acting, but at least it had lots of atmosphere
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	@Wretched - Disagree harder than anything @Buttboy - nah man, because the actual "remake" part was half the movie everything felt rushed as fuck, Laurie was awful, and tbh the directing of the recreation scenes bothered me. Just from a filmmaking standpoint there were so many shitty shots that just looked awful, bad timing, etc that I couldn't even enjoy it. And I'll be honest, it didn't help that instead of "behind this mask is an uncompromising evil" I was thinking "behind this mask is a bullied, weird, fat hillbilly"
Zig 10.17.18	House of Wax (2005) is by far the worst horror remake ever.
MO 10.17.18	they're all bad let's be honest
Middle18 10.17.18	Texas chainsaw massacre was a remake done right IMO
calmrose 10.17.18	Poltergeist [2] The Thing (2011)
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	OG Texas Chainsaw will always be the GOAT for me, but tbh I didn't hate the remake. It had a few really great scenes in it and a different take on leatherface that was way less offensive to me than Texas Chainsaw 2 (original series).
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	And I didn't even know there was a Poltergeist remake, lucky me
calmrose 10.17.18	it stars Sam Rockwell and is a giant cluster fuck
bloc 10.17.18	"The Thing" I will kill you
calmrose 10.17.18	I'm referring to the 2011 one (which I guess it's technically a prequel), not Carpenter's which is one of the best horror films
bloc 10.17.18	I will let you live
calmrose 10.17.18	lol thanks bloc
BigBlob 10.17.18	"Texas chainsaw massacre was a remake done right IMO " it just played it way too safe. typical hollywood remake of a horror. better production and add more gore. same goes with the evil dead remake
WretchedCacophony 10.17.18	I think you're taking this topic too seriously lol. I watch a movie, enjoy it or not, and then never think about it again.
theacademy 10.17.18	you were doing so well until you hit Halloween. The elm street remake is truly abysmal. The Psycho one is fairly innocuous so I guess id disagree with its inclusion here but cant really fault you. Some better options than Halloween: amityville horror, quarantine, carrie (this one was a MONUMENTAL DISAPPOINTMENT on the same level as the elm street remake), black christmas, and day of the dead
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	I mean I’m a pretty big horror fan so it’s more than just a passing whatever for me but to each their own...
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	Academy- nah man, Halloween took what was frightening about the original and made it annoying and obnoxious as hell. That movie actually makes me mad while watching it - so does Nightmare, my #1 and #2 are pretty much tied tbh, it was a toss up between those. Amityville was forgettable but I don’t have any connection to the original at all (even though I live 10 minutes away from the actual amityville house aha) Black Christmas should have been here, agreed. Forgot about that one. Day of the Dead is another one I avoided. Honorable mentions is Martyrs, that was fucking useless.
BigBlob 10.17.18	I dont even want to see the martyrs remake..... didnt they give it a happy ending?! WTF
EnyaFangirl 10.17.18	i'm hearing things about the Suspiria remake actually being great, i'm fukkin stoked
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	@bigblob- it’s garbage. GARBAGE!!! Stay far away @enya- I’m gonna have to see it in theaters because it’s suspriria but I’m actually hearing mixed things, not universally positive things. As of today, I’m also hearing mixed things on Halloween but I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
Divaman 10.17.18	The remake of The Fog was godawful. And yes, the remake of Black Christmas was also putrid. I liked the Rob Zombie version of Halloween. It wasn't as good as the original, and it didn't have Donald Pleasance, but I thought it was an interesting new take. The sequel was awful, though.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	Y’all are being far too kind to Zombie
Insurrection 10.17.18	cabin fever, prom night, the fog, and the haunting are embarrassingly bad
Divaman 10.17.18	I don't think so. I think it definitely suffers in comparison to the first one, and Malcolm McDowell was terrible in comparison to Pleasance. But I found Scout Taylor-Compton to be a likable modern-day version of Laurie, and the humongous Tyler Mane as Michael was terrifying. I also thought Sherri Moon Zombie was really good as Michael's mother, and the opening part of the film with Michael was pretty good. I think it was an above-average horror flick. It just paled in contrast with the original, which is an absolute classic.
theacademy 10.17.18	i liked the halloween remake and dont really respect the idea that you dislike it because it was unfaithful to whatever your freshman year english teacher told you was special or different about the original. I think it was rob zombies halloween and it was true to that concept. the original is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time but I dont think anything rob zombie did rose to the level of disrespect. He didn't phone anything in. He had a vision and he executed and it was weird and maybe didnt fit halloween all that well but it also stands up on its own. Halloween II was arguably more disrespectful to the original (even Carpenter hates Halloween II more). Ill take a zombie's genuine misfire over a studio cashgrab ANY FUCKING DAY OF THE WEEK
Divaman 10.17.18	Oh, and it also had the adult Danielle Harris, plus Danny Trejo (who always makes me smile). Two more plusses.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	@Divaman - " But I found Scout Taylor-Compton to be a likable modern-day version of Laurie" Nnnaaahhhhh. I found her to be insanely obnoxious the entire time, a Zombie-fied version of what he thinks a teenager is but it just didn't ring true to me at all. I didn't view her as a strong final girl, just a really annoying caricature that just happened to survive. "and the humongous Tyler Mane as Michael was terrifying. " Agreed, that was one of the only positives about the movie. " I also thought Sherri Moon Zombie was really good as Michael's mother, and the opening part of the film with Michael was pretty good." Nah, I hated all of this with a burning passion but to each their own. Agree to disagree. Even without the original I just found it to be an over the top, obnoxious mess of a film that was paced terribly and filled with characters I couldn't stand to watch - kills that should have been scary but were directed so poorly I couldn't get into it, poor music ques, etc. Not for me. Glad you enjoyed it.
wojodta 10.17.18	The first Halloween was perfect and a remake wasn't needed...kinda like 99% of all remakes.
theacademy 10.17.18	danielle harris as annie bracket in the remake was lovely
Tunaboy45 10.17.18	can't fucking wait for Suspiria, looks like they're trying to do something different
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	@the academy- "i liked the halloween remake and dont really respect the idea that you dislike it because it was unfaithful to whatever your freshman year english teacher told you was special or different about the original. " Where the fuck did that come from dude? Lol I didn't personally attack you, I'm just passionately attacking a movie. Also I'm not exactly a college kid dude, I'm probably a bit older than you think but thanks man. Also my reasons were not JUST because it was unfaithful (although it did take a horrifying concept and shit all over it imo) but there were a lot more complaints that I couldn't fit into that box, and even that was more than just "I like the original." "He had a vision and he executed and it was weird and maybe didnt fit halloween all that well but it also stands up on its own." It was certainly different, but I could direct Toy Story 4 and have the toys be all real people and throw in a bunch of sex scenes. Different/having a vision doesn't make it good. This style worked for Devil's Rejects, but here it was just awful imo. But to each their own, I suppose. I actively hate the movie though lol "Halloween II was arguably more disrespectful to the original" Yeah, the entire third act of that film having Myers without a mask was disgraceful and that movie was fucking awful, agreed. Although the first one edges it out a little in my mind because its not two disjointed movies in one, it's not AS MTV-like and I don't have to sit through 40 minutes of screeching chubby Myers and every awful character surrounding that.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	@tunaboy - agreed, I'm cautiously optimistic though. I am hoping for the best, but the mixed reviews are making me worried. That trailer is amazing, though but I have been fooled before.
theacademy 10.17.18	By "Halloween II" i clearly meant 1981. For the record, I didn't personally attack you either (or dont believe what I wrote to constitute a "personal attack"). Personal attacks over the internet are a waste of everyone's time and I assure you I was only trying to be as broadly disrespectful and dismissive of your opinions on these films as possible.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	Ah right, well I disagree about Halloween II. I thought that was at least competently directed and there were some creepy scenes even if they did up the gore for no reason and throw in that "sHe'S aCtUaLlY hIs SiStEr" plot line. Definitely nowhere near as disrespectful imo, even if Carpenter himself said he disagrees. And saying that I have an opinion because my "freshman year teacher told me to" instead of assuming I can actually, ya know, have my own opinion is a little disrespectful but it's fine, I'm not mad at you boo
Insurrection 10.17.18	idk how anyone can defend the Halloween remake. the first half is michael’s backstory which was generic and dumb, the second half is the original Halloween movie crammed into 40 min
calmrose 10.17.18	anyone excited for the new Halloween?
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	Insurrection - EXACTLY calm - I'm excited, seeing it tomorrow but now that there are a couple of negative reviews coming in from people I trust I'm a bit nervous
CaimanJesus 10.17.18	Even tho the leprecaun movies weren't good in the first place, the remake managed to be much much worse, at least the originals were fun
butt. 10.17.18	new Halloween just hit certified fresh on rottentomatoes this morning. good be amazing.
Rik VII 10.17.18	This doesn't have any remakes of Japanese horror movies, soooo it's not complete.
mifzal 10.17.18	the blair bitch
theacademy 10.17.18	Minor correction: i didnt suggest that (english teacher, etc) is why you have formed your opinion - rather I was criticizing the notion that the [admittedly awesome, and totally worthy of celebration, but also documented/discussed ad nauseum by now] elements of the original are untouchable in the context of a remake.
theacademy 10.17.18	anyway: best remakes 1. evil dead 2. dawn 2004 3. the thing 4. the fly
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	@ academy - Ah, fair then. < 3 @RikRoach - All Japanese horror remakes that I have seen other than The Ring are awful.
Minushuman24 10.17.18	The Prequel/remake of the most recent "The Thing" was the fucking worst. It takes everything that makes it one of the best-if not the best-horror films of all time, and fucking throws it away for the tension-less unmotivated plot, aided with some seriously outdated, even for its time, CGI. Fuck that movie. Day of the Dead remake(?) was also horrid, which makes me sad, because I think that Day of the Dead is the greatest zombie film ever made. Though the original was not a good movie, I watched the Cabin Fever remake during the summer, and holy shit that was a painful watch. I would say One Missed Call, but let's be real, the japanese version was ass too. Sorry Miike.
mifzal 10.17.18	Never liked any horror remakes, I don't remember liking any remakes from any genre that much. Maybe its just my mind seeing these as lazy cash grabs feeding off people's nostalgia.
Divaman 10.17.18	>Scout Taylor-Compton - I found her to be insanely obnoxious the entire time, a Zombie-fied version of what he thinks a teenager is but it just didn't ring true to me at all. I didn't view her as a strong final girl, just a really annoying caricature that just happened to survive. I don't know about being a strong final girl. She just reminded me of half the kids my kids bring home. I liked her, and I wanted her to survive. (And I hated what they did w/her in the sequel.) But like you said, agree to disagree. I know that a lot of people besides you hated the film.
theacademy 10.17.18	she was a relatable laurie in the context of zombie's haddonfield and that was a success in my book... fuck the concept of a final girl
Divaman 10.17.18	Funny thing, when I watch the 1981 version of Halloween 2, it feels pretty hacky to me. But, having said that, the notion that Laurie is actually Michael's sister is really good. It feels as if it's always been there. And it's hard to remember that it wasn't part of the original film, it was created in the sequel.
theacademy 10.17.18	shrugs the utility of that detail is... kinda irrelevant given how profoundly laurie is wasted in the sequels (generally)
theacademy 10.17.18	although we wouldnt get the ending of halloween 4 without that so i guess I can't be too salty
budgie 10.17.18	my thoughts: the thing 2011 was totally fine, i get remakes get hate but i thought it was a fine movie night of the demons remake: totally fun movie, i didn't love the og though, number 3 is the worst movie ever, number 2 is one of my all time favorites fright night remakes: so there is fright night OG, part II, the first remake with anton, and the second remake with bull murrays daughter. they're all fine but the OG's are classics friday remake: totally fine movie, one of my favorites in the series nightmare on elm street remake: boring but the only thing that made it shit was how awful and lame freddy was cabin fever remake: i liked it more than the original lol evil dead remake: not as classic as I or II but on it's own probably one of the strongest releases of the decade halloween remakes: i just hate how zombie shoehorns his ugly wife into everything and i never liked the hillbilly flavor of his films so i just don't care for the remakes. the kills were alright i guess what else.. i haven't seen original sorority row but i dug the remake well enough same with black christmas
Divaman 10.17.18	>she was a relatable laurie in the context of zombie's haddonfield and that was a success in my book... fuck the concept of a final girl The character of Laurie in the original was the traditional "good girl" -- she's shy, she's nice to the kids, she's way more innocent about boys than her friends. But by 2007, this kind of "innocent" teenager didn't really exist anymore, unless she was like Amish or something. For me, the Taylor Scout-Compton version of Laurie was the 2007 equivalent of the "good girl". Yeah, she makes sexual references when she fingers her donuts, but she's still loving of her parents, pretty nice to the kids, etc. Alright, that's it for me about Zombie's Halloween. Don't mean to beat it to death. I've just really always liked the film, even though I know a lot of people hated it.
theacademy 10.17.18	god if u havent seen the original black christmas u best do so before commenting again
budgie 10.17.18	oh yeah i watched the fog remake just recently what a piece of shit hated every second god damn. i do like selma blair though i think the biggest disparity of classic OG and shit remake is the wicker man though, that one was just an insult. og wicker man is 5/5 perfect
theacademy 10.17.18	amen @diva
budgie 10.17.18	i'll watch it this weekend, gotta see if it's on shudder
theacademy 10.17.18	i can just text it to you i have it on blu ray
budgie 10.17.18	oh fuck yeah it's totally on shudder
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	"god if u havent seen the original black christmas u best do so before commenting again" [2] Black Christmas is a goddamn classic. OG slasher film. "fuck the concept of a final girl" Booo, final girls are part of the package, man. Also, I get the arguments for Laurie I guess, but yeah she just annoyed the piss out of me. I wasn't offended that she was making sexual references, but it was just so over the top that it really took me out of it and made me think she was annoying. I pointed out the donut scene because it was the introduction to her character and that was just such an odd way to be like "here is OUR Laurie" lol. I didn't need her to be a princess or anything, but that was just so far in the opposite direction that it was just as silly to me. As for those other comments : The Fog remake is garbage The Thing remake was pretty fucking weak but had one or two OK moments Evil Dead is awesome but yeah not nearly as good as the originals - lots to praise with the Evil Dead remake, lots to complain about Friday remake was pretty damn good, maybe my fourth favorite Friday movie tbh Fright Night remake was fine I guess but it didn't even come remotely close to the magic of the original but no surprise there I guess
theacademy 10.17.18	i was referencing the 1982 remake
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	A lot of my response was to divaman's concept of the "innocent girl" not being a thing in 2007 and also yeah the general concept of "fuck the final girl" aha Unless you're talking about The Thing? Yeah I know, but I wasn't aha - obviously the 1982 film is a classic.
Divaman 10.17.18	That's sad, I didn't even remember Selma Blair was in The Fog remake. Just Maggie Grace. Re/the original Fright Night -- I liked it when I first saw it, but somehow after watching years of Amanda Bearse playing Marcie on "Married With Children", it ruined her character in Fright Night for me.
budgie 10.17.18	yeep - the love interest in fright night part II is way cuter. but bearse's vampire-mode is some classic horror shit!
Minushuman24 10.17.18	I can't get behind the Friday remake, I just don't think it's any good. Then again Friday movies aren't really "good" I guess
Minushuman24 10.17.18	anyone here watch The Stepfather? I haven't seen the remake, but after watching the original recently I have no faith that they'd be able to capture the magic of that movie
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	I actually haven't even heard of that but I'll check out the original
Thalassic 10.17.18	The only thing the Texas Chainsaw remake had going for it was Jessica Biel's ass; and the only thing the Friday the 13th remake had going for it were Julianna's boobs.
Divaman 10.17.18	I saw the original Stepfather. I think it was the first thing I ever saw Terry O'Quinn in. He's pretty chilling.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	Oh damn, this is rated in the high 80s on Rotten Tomatoes. I'll check this out later tonight, man. Stepfather II has a 0% fucking lol Remake has an 11%, good times
Source 10.17.18	HOW DID IT GET BURNED?! HOW DID IT GET BURNED HOW DID IT GET BUUUURRRNED??!!
Minushuman24 10.17.18	Terry O'Quinn's performance has to be one of the greatest in any 80's slasher. It's good shit! Definitely some dumb tropes, but I loved it.
budgie 10.17.18	friday the 13th 2009 is only 'good' in that it's a mindless forgettable entertaining slasher that gives you 90 minutes of an alright way to spend a saturday evening it certainly doesn't fall into the 'unwatchable' category for me. in fact, i've seen it 3 times, willingly. mindless slashers are awesome in that way
theacademy 10.17.18	stepfather remake is kinda bad and definitely wastes dylan walsh in a role he seemed a good fit for
Faraudo 10.17.18	Fuck these remakes, they are all terrible.
JeetJeet 10.17.18	Its probably been said but that The Thing remake is some hot garbage. Those effects were terrible.
artiswar 10.17.18	The Martyrs remake is the most offensive one tbh. Like they got it so wrong it's actually stunning. The poster was wicked though. Lucca what do you think of the French extremity films? Do you watch a lot of foreign horror?
artiswar 10.17.18	I kind of dug the Blairwitch remake. The characters sucked but it had some good scares and the whole climax was actually pretty fucking scary.
budgie 10.17.18	hate to be that guy but blair witch isn't a remake, if you remember it's about the brother going to find the sister from the first film and honestly i dug it too! i love me some found footage shit also the second blair witch is underrated af, book of shadows it's called?
budgie 10.17.18	spanish horror is the best. rec, witching & bitching, el bar, tombs of the blind dead & return of the evil dead, the house that screamed, summer camp, the corpse of anna fritz
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	@art- agreed hard man, if I made this list again martyrs and black Christmas would be here. Love me some French horror my dude - inside is amazing, if high tension had less muse that would also be amazing. Frontiers is solid fun too
artiswar 10.17.18	I would argue that it's a remake because basically the exact same shit happens but I see your argument. And lol Book Of Shadows is not underrated, it's absolutely horrid but in a great hilarious way. The twist at the end is there's no Blair witch haha, wtf.
budgie 10.17.18	have you seen yellow.brick.road?
Divaman 10.17.18	>Terry O'Quinn's performance has to be one of the greatest in any 80's slasher. True confessions: Sometimes when my kids drive me crazy, I do that little whistle of his. They've never seen the film, so they don't even notice. I figure it's better than actually going berserk and slaughtering them.
Faraudo 10.17.18	Check the new Netflix original show called The Haunting of Hill House, probably one of my favorite TV shows in like forever. I also think that it's one of the best (if not the best) horror tv shows in history.
Divaman 10.17.18	I like the old Italian gore meisters of the 70s and 80s, especially Lucio Fulci. Their films made no sense at all, but they had some memorable scenes. I understand you wouldn't ever be allowed to make films like in Italy today -- the social code of the country has changed entirely.
Divaman 10.17.18	I agree entirely, Faraudo. I found myself really rooting for the family, even though in the earlier episodes, some of them (the adult versions, anyway), are really annoying.
artiswar 10.17.18	@Lucca I haven't watched The Inside since high school, it made me really queasy. Frontiers is awesome, High Tension is really good and very campy. Martyrs is a masterpiece. You should read Intensity by Dean Koontz, it's fucking amazing and the movie plagiarized a lot of it. I actually haven't seen Black Christmas.
Faraudo 10.17.18	"I agree entirely, Faraudo. I found myself really rooting for the family, even though in the earlier episodes, some of them (the adult versions, anyway), are really annoying." They are understandably annoying for the most part, so it never really mattered to me, ya know? The family drama stuff is very well written, and the scares/scary visuals are pretty sweet too. The direction, acting and photography are top notch as well. I binged that shit in like 2 days lol.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	Haunting of Hill House was great for the most part until that goddamn fucking ending. I have problems with it. But yeah, some great horror in that show - mostly amazing stuff
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	And I’ll check intensity my dude m/
JeetJeet 10.17.18	I gotta check out Haunting on Hill House. That and the new season of Channel Zero are the 2 top horror shows I'm hyped for the most right now.
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.17.18	I don't fully agree with 1. imo, it had good ideas and intent even though it basically turned into cliched slasher flick during the second half.
artiswar 10.17.18	Robb Zombie? Good ideas?
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.17.18	Well for starters, the backstory concept (while not original) made for an interesting first half of the film, at the very least attempting to show some kind of humanity and reason for Michael's turn for the worse. It could've handled it better, but it was interesting enough.
artiswar 10.17.18	I can't possibly disagree more there. It was honestly one of the worst films I've ever seen, and I don't even have nostalgia for the original.
neekafat 10.17.18	2 was absolute garbage agreed
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	Agreed hard with art. The first half of Halloween was the most infuriating part imo (not that the second half was much better)
Faraudo 10.17.18	"Haunting of Hill House was great for the most part until that goddamn fucking ending. I have problems with it. But yeah, some great horror in that show - mostly amazing stuff" Ohh man, I sobbed intensively for the last 15 minutes lol, it kinda got to me. But I can certainly see why some people would have problems with it.
Coast 10.17.18	Psycho remake was painfully sterile. Halloween II is alright but Zombie's remake was poorly developed and yeah a hillbilly vibe.
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.17.18	@2DarkSideOfLucca and artiswar To each their own. I didn't like enough to recommend it myself.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.17.18	@Stirke - < 3 @Coast - agreed @Faraudo - I REALLY want to go into what specifically I hated but I don't want to spoil anything here. But yeah, basically the whole time i was like "WHY IS MY HORROR SHOW DOING x DURING THE CLIMAX" I fucking loved everything else leading up to that, though so I would definitely recommend it and will probably rewatch it but if I was writing it, I would have gone MUCH darker with a higher body count lol
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.18.18	We can definitely agree that 5-2 at the very least are atrocious.
wham49 10.18.18	couldnt be more right on my man, The Zombie halloweens are an abomination, also nightmare and psycho. One not mentioned is My Bloody Valentine. 1981 version is a slasher classic; the 08-09 remake was flat out terrible oh ya, same for Prom Night
artiswar 10.18.18	For a second I thought you were talking about Valentine starring Denise Richards and David Boreanaz XD
budgie 10.18.18	whooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat totally forgot they remade my blood valentine
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.18.18	Yeah they were terrible too.
Faraudo 10.18.18	"@Faraudo - I REALLY want to go into what specifically I hated but I don't want to spoil anything here. But yeah, basically the whole time i was like "WHY IS MY HORROR SHOW DOING x DURING THE CLIMAX" I fucking loved everything else leading up to that, though so I would definitely recommend it and will probably rewatch it but if I was writing it, I would have gone MUCH darker with a higher body count lol" I did expected a darker ending and a higher body count, on that regard i'm 100% with ya. At the same time, I loved the characters and I wanted then to thrive.
Faraudo 10.18.18	My Bloody Valentine's remake is pretty bad, but not on the same level as any of these other movies lol
Divaman 10.18.18	I don't disagree about the last episode of "Hill House". It's over talky, for sure. But the rest of it was good enough that I was willing to give it a break. As for Channel Zero, I thought the first one (with tooth guy) was only so-so. I loved the second one (The No-End House). But I really didn't like the third one (Butchers Block) at all.
budgie 10.18.18	first episode or first season? i saw the first episode but didn't catch on too quickly before i fell off the sleep that night. cool it has the dude from pandr though
JeetJeet 10.18.18	I fucking loved Butchers Block man that surreal horror is always up my alley.
Iamthe Nightstars 10.18.18	I haven't seen it since it came out but I thought the Evil Dead remake was hot garbage. Surprised to see it has fairly decent reviews.
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.18.18	I thought as a standalone horror flick, it was pretty fun. As far as upping the ante from the classic, it slipped a bit.
Divaman 10.18.18	first series - Candle Cove. It was kind of creepy, but there weren't really any characters to identify with.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.18	Yeah, I can forgive Hill House but it just makes me a bit sad since like 98% of it was so fucking good. First season of Channel Zero rules, but tbh it took me a very long time to get into. The first three episodes of season 2 (when they are actually in the house) are my favorite Channel Zero episodes ever but it drops the ball HARD on the last couple episodes and that makes me very sad. Season 3 I still haven't finished because I suck. But I already can't fucking wait for season 4 next week (And Daredevil season 3 this weekend, w000) Evil Dead remake has a ton of positives, but a bunch of negatives. The first two original Evil Dead movies are my favorite movies of all time and I can totally see an argument for someone loving the remake and hating the remake.
Sinternet 10.18.18	is there a remake of the shining yet? because that would absolutely be the worst also original wicker man is one of the greatest films ever made don't @ me
budgie 10.18.18	oh wait has IT been mentioned yet? loved it
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.18	Technically the new IT movie is just another adaptation and not a remake. And no, but the guy who did Haunting of Hill House/Hush is doing the sequel to The Shining and it might actually be good
budgie 10.18.18	technically ur a homo
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.18	Faktz
Minushuman24 10.18.18	There was a remake of The Shining helmed by Stephen King. He hated the original cause it wasn't faithful to his book. That movie was ass. and yeah, I have faith in Doctor Sleep. He did justice to Gerald's Game. It even kept faithful to King's writing by having the last 10 minutes being stupid and shitty.
Divaman 10.18.18	There was a Shining mini-series in 1997, with Steven Weber. But I remember it as sucking.
artiswar 10.18.18	Unpopular opinion but I thought the new IT movie sucked majorly. The girl looked like she was in her 20s which made the character dynamics really uncomfortable and there were just no scares to speak of. It felt like a Disney movie.
Minushuman24 10.18.18	I kinda loved it for that though. It did feel like a family film with some horror elements. It just featured strong characters on a coming of age journey, and I enjoyed that for what it was.
budgie 10.18.18	^^^^ neighborhood kids vs. evil has always been a fantastic horror genre and it did have an earlier rendition where pennywise actually eats georgie on screen but i'm sure that was pulled for cinematic reasons. thought it was sufficiently dark, though.
Faraudo 10.18.18	Him ripping his arm was dark enough I think, IT eating the kid on screen would've looked kinda silly.
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.18	Yeah, IT had a lot of needless CGI and jump scares which I didn't find particularly frightening. Also, the creature had like a zillion chances when the main characters were scared shitless and didn't do anything, but would randomly eat a bully or some other not as important character after like 3 seconds so that REALLY irked me. I know you're supposed to suspend your belief but that just made me never worried for anyone. Plot in general was a bit uneven, but it did have some positives. I remember being really baffled at everyone being like "ThE sCaRiEsT mOvIe In YeArS" Opening scene was cool though
artiswar 10.18.18	well yeah, that scene is iconic. it would have taken a lot to mess that up.
StrikeOfTheBeast 10.18.18	Nicholas Cage was the 'best' thing about the Wicker Man remake. "OH GOD...NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEEEEES! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
DarkSideOfLucca 10.18.18	Lmfaoooo
Divaman 10.20.18	Yeah, I skipped that one. The original was really good, though.
BigBlob 10.25.18	hills have eyes remake was on tv last night. defo one of the better horror remakes of recent times
artiswar 10.25.18	Haven't watched that since it came out but I remember it being pretty good.
Trebor. 10.25.18	Seen parts of Suspiria at work and it seems pretty cool 2 and a half fuckin hours tho
Kalopsia 10.25.18	The Thing "sequel" (which was a soft remake) with MEW
artiswar 10.25.18	Mew is my fave Pokemon, gonna watch now
SymbolicInTime 10.25.18	I liked the IT remake more than the original
Dettlaff 10.25.18	Those Halloween remakes are an embarrassment. Rob Zombie's brand of shock value vulgarity and gratuitous violence are what I imagine edgy teenagers find badass when they're just getting into the genre.
artiswar 10.25.18	Yeah he's a special kind of awful
DarkSideOfLucca 10.25.18	@Wonder - IT wasn't really a remake, though. It was an adaptation from the same book. @Dettaff - you're my soulmate
Dettlaff 10.25.18	I feel it too, bruh
SymbolicInTime 10.25.18	Bad wording on my part. Just meant I prefer this to the 90 TV mini-series
Dettlaff 10.25.18	I tried to do a heart but apparently this site gets confused by < 3 if it isn't spaced out lol
Kalopsia 10.25.18	WHY IS IT SO MEEEAAAN?
brainmelter 10.25.18	The devils rejects is so awful
DarkSideOfLucca 10.25.18	< 3 And agreed, Wonder - It 2018 is better even if Tim Curry is my bae
Minushuman24 10.25.18	The Devils rejects rules
artiswar 10.25.18	it's the closest attempt he ever made to make a real movie but it's still trash. He's like Eli Roth but with 0 talent.
