U liked the 2nd Hills Have Eyes?? Man I loved the first remake so much and was hopin the 2nd one would be good. Boy was I let down. That dude Flex was so funny in that movie but it was pretty bad man. Got Em!!

For me it's almost a tie between The Thing and The Fly...I voted for the Thing.

surfdude12 · 12-22-2009, 06:01 AM

The Ring

one of my favorite horrors ever.

Halloween was horrible

[Show spoiler]

Dawn remake was ok but

[Show spoiler]

. also IMO the "true" zombie doesn't run, they walk. its scarier that way. why? as romero said: "its like space invaders"..i dont know about you guys, but romero is right: that video game freaked me out, more than games where you're getting chased down

I agree with everything u said except for the Dawn of the Dead part! The Ring was awesome. I remember to this day when I saw it in the theaters and it blew me away that I brought friends with me next time to go see it. So I saw it twice in the theaters. Also I have said enough about that terrible Halloween remake so Ill just leave it at that! As for Dawn of the Dead, u have to remember all remakes dont follow shot for shot or every thing in the original. The fact that they were in the mall and there were a couple of zombies there as well, it still gave us the resemblence. One of the better remakes on this list to me. Got Em!!

Q? · 12-22-2009, 06:18 AM

The Thing of course!!!!!!!
No doubt!
Go!!

Czar your back! ive missed your "got ems" ... i voted for TCM because i think the remake is much better then the original, however The Thing is one of my favorite horror movies...but i haven't seen the original so thats why i didnt vote it, but if i did I am sure my vote would go towards that..

I never watched that show. I soon found out after what she had done before TCM, but that was the first time I saw her. Better late than never!

Got Em!!

zombie63 · 12-22-2009, 08:42 AM

Gotta go with The Thing here , as much as I do like the original Carpenter's one is superior in all levels.
Romero's Dawn of the Dead is IMO the greatest horror film of all time so Synder's remake had a hard act to follow, but I must say I did enjoy his reimagining of it too.
As for worst, well out of what I have seen there i would say The Wicker Man.
Also you forgot to mention all the Hammer remakes from the 50's and 60's IMO some amazing films completely forgotten about here -

Rob71 · 12-22-2009, 09:44 AM

The Thing, followed very closely by The Fly.

Michael1989 · 12-22-2009, 10:47 AM

Best: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (far better than the original).

Favourites: Dawn Of The Dead, Halloween, The Hills Have Eyes, The Ring & The Amityville Horror.

Worst: Day of the Dead, My Bloody Valentine 3D, Prom Night & The Uninvited.

tbizzle · 12-22-2009, 11:02 AM

The Thing

My runners up would be:

The Hills Have Eyes
Dawn of the Dead
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

JonD7 · 12-22-2009, 11:58 AM

Ah!!! I didn't see Night of the Living Dead on there, lol! that is definitely my number one horror remake, I like it A LOT more then the original.

I voted for Dawn of the Dead, I watched it recently and I liked it, reason is because it was TOTALLY different then the original, felt like a different story to me and I like that because I hate remakes, lol

Neil_Luv's_BLU · 12-22-2009, 12:03 PM

For me?... Snynder's Dawn Of The Dead remake just edges out The Thing as my personal favourite. Why? speedy zombies scare the hell out of me!!!

However The Thing is a great movie on its own merit!

Psychonaut · 12-22-2009, 12:26 PM

Went with The Thing. I liked The Hills Have Eyes 1 & 2 (for brutality) and The Fly as well.
