Sometimes a remake is done really well, on par or close to the orignal even. What's some of your favourites? Personally..

-The Crazies (2010)

-Dawn of the Dead (2004)

-Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Feel free to point out terrible remakes if you like as well. Why not.

              The Thing (1982)
This is one of my (and the rest of the internet’s) favorite 80s sci-fi horror movie, but it’s also a remake of The Thing From Another World (1951) and is based on a novella titled, Who Goes There? (1938).

The Fly (1986)
Who needs Vincent Price when you’ve got Cronenberg, Goldblum, and Davis?

Suspiria (2018)
This was a sleeper hit for me. Great soundtrack and cinematography. It put the creepiness back in Argento.

The Ring (2002)
Not my personal favorite but this movie did more to raise the profile of Japanese and Korean horror than anything.

Evil Dead 2 (1987)
Is it a sequel? A re-imagining? A hallucination?  I don’t know, but this is my go-to Evil Dead. The 2013 remake gets an honorable mention for being bloody, dark, and chaotic just like it should be.

What do you think about the newest Evil Dead?

[–] derfunkatron@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I haven’t seen Evil Dead Rise yet, so no opinion. Do you recommend it?

Yeah I enjoyed it. Id a hard time saying any of the evil Dead movies are bad. The original and 2013 are my personal favorite though.
