[Punisher Rising]

The Thing
The Blob
The Fly
Night Of The Living Dead
Dawn Of The Dead
My Bloody Valentine
Friday The 13th
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre


My picks for the best remakes or some that are at least good.

 

[War Party]

I only have three that I really liked. The Hills Have Eyes, Dawn of the Dead, and The Thing. The rest are eh.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The Fly, The Thing and TCM.

I hated MBV 3D with a white hot passion.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

1. The Thing (Still the best remake out there)
2. The Blob (So freaking creepy and violent for it's time.)
3. Hills Have Eyes (Though it was unnecessarily brutual and about the only time I wanted to walk out of a theater because of the violence.)
4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (I think the original is overrated and not scary. This at least was entertaining.)
5. Halloween (At least it tried something new instead of being a shot by shot remake like most people wanted it to be.)
6. Dawn of the Dead (Good, don't care for the running zombies though.)


Everything else was mediocre, dull or just plain terrible (The Hitcher, Amityville Horror, Psycho, When a Stranger Calls, and especially My Bloody Valentine)

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

S**t, I forgot about Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Although I liked the orginal just as much I think.

 

[Sawyer]

The Last House on the Left and Dawn of the Dead would be my two favorites.

 

[CyrusGrissom]

Finally someone loves Last House, that was awesome and better then the outdated original. Friday The 13th was fun but not really a remake.What do you think of The Thing?

 

[hitmanyr2k]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
The Thing
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
The Blob

 

[Gilpesh]

Friday The 13th was fun but not really a remake.

Someone is bringing that up again?

Oh lord.

 

[GreenKToo]

The thing, the fly, and the blob.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

In NO specific order

Halloween (2007)
The Thing (1982)
Night Of The Living Dead (1990)
The Texas Chainsaw Masscre (2003) - it was pretty good, I guess
The Last House On The Left (2009)
Dawn Of The Dead (2004) - It was okay.
Friday the 13th (2009) - if you consider it a remake. Personally, I don't. IT was awesome either way.
The Hills Have Eyes - Meh, it was okay.

Sadly, I have yet to see the remake of The Blob. However, I'll be watching it tonight.

 

[Thundarr]

John Carpenter's The Thing

1978 Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers (all of the other remakes suck)

The Fly

The Blob

Everything else was mediocre at best. TCM should've had a scene where Leather Face and his family were sitting down to eat Jessica Biel's Friends.
Rob Zombie should've left Michael Myers' past alone and just focused on making the movie scarier than the original rather than more violent and white trash than the original.

I didn't even bother going to the remakes of many of the other movies listed.

 

[Dark Victory]

The Thing
The Fly( Though, the sequel was awful)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Blob

That's all I can think of, off the top of my head.

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Cat People
The Thing
The Fly
Dawn Of The Dead
Halloween (2007)

 

[xwolverine2]

why has no one mentioned The Ring?

 

[Thundarr]

why has no one mentioned The Ring?

Maybe everyone thinks Ringu is better.

 

[bullets]

Friday the 13th
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Dawn of the Dead
Halloween
Last House on the Left
The Hills Have Eyes
The Hitcher
Night of the Living Dead

I didn't know The Thing was a remake

 

[xwolverine2]

Maybe everyone thinks Ringu is better.

i hated it... it was freakin laughable.

gore verbinsky totally owned those asians.

 

[Drizzle]

My three favorites are "The Hills Have Eyes", "Friday the 13th", and "The Fly". To me, all of those were better than the originals.

 

[Thundarr]

I didn't know The Thing was a remake

It was a remake of The Thing From Outer Space, John Carpenter just shortened the name.

 

[GothamAlleys]

The Thing
The Fly
The Blob

 

[Rac]

The Thing (1982)
Night of the Living Dead (1990)
The Ring Virus (1999)
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
The Last House on the Left (2009)

Haven't seen The Fly remake, though I've seen its sequel.

 

[Frodo]

I would mind seeing a reboot of the old 80's show Tales From the Darkside except featuring episodes from today's directors like Tarantino, Eli Roth, and Rob Zombie . I know some of the episodes were pretty lame but I'm a fan of it. Maybe if they made it more edgy and scary as opposed to campy. They show re runs on Chiller and the Sci Fi network to anyone to young to remember it.

 

[PyroChamber]

It just occurred to me pretty much most, if not all, of the most well known US horror movies have been remade...

Psycho
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
The Blob
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Friday the 13th
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Halloween
The Last House on the Left
The Hills Have Eyes
The Omen
My Bloody Valentine (though technically Canadian)
and now A Nightmare on Elm Street.

It won't be long before we get remakes of The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, and Child's Play.
