The Best Comedy/Horror Movie?? - Blu-ray Forum

AKORIS · 04-12-2010, 06:44 PM

funny to see THE BLOB and AMITYVILLE get remakes since they already had them!

I agree that THE BIRDS might be interesting as well as CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (which btw was in development stages about a decade ago
from John Carpenter!) CREATURE is one of my favorite Universal monster
films but for some reason, I don't mind it being remade -- whether it's great or not so great, it won't change my feeling towards the original.

AMERICAN WEREWOLF makes me cringe a bit since the effects (like THE HOWLING) were state of the art for werewolf pictures. To see wonderful effects like that destroyed by phony CGI (AMERICAN WERWOLF IN PARIS anyone?) makes me not too excited... but you never know-- maybe they will take the time and do it right...

BLAIR WITCH seems like an odd choice for a remake but it could be interesting if it's done with a bigger budget and delivers in the way of
"seeing more" of what actually happened...

I agree with just about all of that. I never seen Blair Witch though so I cant comment on that one. Also the Creature is my fav of the classic old school monster/horror films and I would love to see a remake! As for the Werewolf debate, we already got the OG of AAWIL on blu so it makes me no difference. If it's good its good if not then oh well I will still have the OG version to watch. Got Em!!
