Worst Horror Remakes of all time Poll - Blu-ray Forum

deckardp · 02-20-2009, 02:52 PM

So after seeing the poll for Best Zombie movie it got me thinking about how the Horror genre has what I feel, the most remakes out of any other genre. So then I was thinking, how all of them have been just a bastardized version of the original. So here it is: The Poll for The Worst Horror Remakes of all Time. Let the discussion begin.

Friday the 13th...

IMO, this movie was too dark (movie theaters suck!), way too predictable, and seemed like The Hills meets Camp Crystal Lake. None of the kill scenes were innovative. There are way more, but I just woke up, so give me a while.

Just venting, sorry!

Halloween and Friday the 13th, I think were great remakes... I LOVED them

Nealten10 · 02-20-2009, 03:01 PM

All the movies on the poll are pretty good. I dont have one that i just hate

deckardp · 02-20-2009, 02:59 PM

Wow! I love that I wasn't even finished posting the poll and I got a response.

deckardp · 02-20-2009, 03:03 PM

Halloween was horrible. Sorry, but the entire back story of Michael becoming who he was from growing up in a redneck abusive family was laughable. Great dialogue Rob.

Rob71 · 02-20-2009, 03:05 PM

Damn there wasn't a list when I picked.

From that list, Psycho.

House of Wax .... Paris Hilton = performance of wax

Moefiz · 02-20-2009, 03:10 PM

An old Takashi Miikee classic....One Missed Call...the US remade was butchered from all angle..

Blu Titan · 02-20-2009, 03:01 PM

Return to House on Hunted Hill.

Wicker Man. I don't consider it horror, but that's the section it's in most stores. Or maybe Pulse. Loved the original, but took three tries to finish the remake.

IMO it doesn't compare with the others listed.

ht_skinny · 02-20-2009, 03:39 PM

Sorry I jumped the gun before the poll options... I chose House of Wax because Paris Hilton SUCKS! as an actress, as a slut, and pretty much as a human being!

I remember watching the original with my father and being scared shitless of wax figures... now I just want to punch them in the jaw!

PH3AR · 02-20-2009, 06:46 PM

Halloween rob zombie ruined that movie...after seeing that i had 2 see the oringinal just so i could just forget that terrible movie but all the other rob zombie movies were good thou

assydingo · 02-20-2009, 07:05 PM

Friday The 13th was pretty bad. I got the original on Blu after seeing it and realized just how well-made it was. All the things that made the original great are missing from the new one.

I was very happy they cast Sam Winchester and Danielle Panabaker. They made the movie half-decent in a few parts.

09camaro · 02-20-2009, 07:10 PM

Halloween remake= the suck!

I was really disappointed in Zombie's version, mostly because I'm such a big fan
of the original. He did way too many things wrong to list them all. Although Tyler
Bates' score was very good!

bruce_pullen · 02-21-2009, 05:07 PM

Great Idea for a Poll. Congrats.

My two cents: Gus Van Sant's Psycho (1998). A shot-by-shot embarrassment to a classic. It goes to show. Following a blueprint isn't enough.

And to think… he might win a Oscar… tomorrow. …How times have changed?

Thanks.
