Remake RANT & Worst Horror Remakes

[@Chuuzus]

this is why i will never shut up about how great 2022 was for horror. we got so many original entertaining horror movies, Nope, Barbarian, X and Pearl, Bodies bodies, Fresh, Bones and All..

Yes-I loved all of these! Especially Barbarian, Pearl, Fresh, and Bodies Bodies Bodies. I was genuinely surprised with how much I loved that movie! I thought it was just gonna be used as a chance to make fun of gen z, however I enjoyed the acting, story, and all the hilarious lines(especially the ones from Alice)!

The idea of doing a remake of your remake video is hilariously genius. The only flaw is that you didn't lazily make a subpar version. 😂

[@thehitherto5348]

I originally thought it would be impossible to remake from a non-Scandinavian perspective, but judging from the trailer (which is spoilery beyond belief) they'll definitely change a lot. I doubt it will be nearly as nauseating and depressing.

[@Kmarie77]

If you’ve never seen the original and know the twist, you actually have if you’ve seen the new trailer. It gives everything away. But America has to own everything and make it a bigger blunder. Look at us, look at us! Btw, I’m American.

[@hsmorg3640]

The problem with The Strangers Chapter One.. not only is it just a blatant remake of the original, but they completely missed the point of why it was scary in the first place.. also, the town being creepy was completely unnecessary and provided no addition to the story

[@filmfangirls9163]

Agreed with everything you just said.

[@Tentoir]

It's supposedly a prequel, but then it's also basically a remake of the first one? I don't understand what they were going for. And yeah, the town being creepy just feels like they needed some other horror tropes to add to the movie. The town being creepy almost detracts from what the Strangers is supposed to be about, which is a random act of violence

[@hsmorg3640]

@@Tentoir Exactly, it completely distracts from the main point.. being secluded in a home that has basically been turned into a cage for you to be tortured in.. they even have the boyfriend go into town for food, so it doesn't feel far at all.. I loved the difference of making the couple actually be into each other.. The town should've just been a normal town, could've even been a super friendly town.. It could've been a remake or sequel, they stop at a diner on their way across the state, and meet an old lady who offers her AirBnB, after talking about the sites nearby, and the couple wanna stay a little longer to check them out.. the AirBnB could be an old lakeside cabin even just 15mi into the forest, out of town.. part of a neighborhood of lakeside expensive summer properties that are just unoccupied, because it's winter, (or really close to winter, we don't even need snow to be a hindrance in this story)(.. although, creepy footsteps leading to the house, but not away, would be a cool detail for the couple to notice).. Then the events of the attack happen, and the old lady drives over to give them breakfast in the morning, and discovers them.. and if we want to make a trilogy with the girlfriend, an easy quick couple flashes of the lady rushing her to the hospital is all we need

[@InkAndPoet]

​@@thrggi respectfully disagree. Each sequel has its pros and cons. The third movie is probably the best of the sequels, with the second, in my opinion, being the worst. The fourth movie is pretty much a Quentin Tarantino film with The Crow in it, and I mean that as a complement. It's corny, but I'd still watch it again.

[@marcusporras9571]

Mike Flanagan should be the only one remaking or adapting Stephen King. A lot of us Dark Tower fans are awaiting it 😅

[@bryanshields5571]

My two favorite director remake tidbits: Alfred Hitchcock when asked why he chose to remake his own film "The Man Who Knew Too Much" he said, "Let's say the first version is the work of a talented amateur and the second was made by a professional." (Truffaut interview) I can't remember the exact podcast he was on, but Edgar Wright said he was offered to remake "American Werewolf in London" and told them "No, I have nothing to add to my favorite film."

[@marcystiff6287]

Years ago I read that the Australian film "Lake Mungo" was going to be remade by a US studio. I cannot emphasize enough how thankful I am that it never happened! When will film studios learn, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"?? But MONEY continues to trump ORIGINALITY and CREATIVITY. It's just sad.....

[@breckinmeyerstan1145]

What sometimes really irks me about modernized remakes/reboots, is how sometimes they diversify the cast just to take it nowhere or kill them off. It feels kind of insulting. It feels very much like: "Look kids were very current!", trying to have their cake and eat it too. Having a diverse cast but instead of having any personality they're all just cardboard cutouts.

[@sarahhollister150]

Stephen King does have some novels worth making movies of, just not in the horror or fantasy genres. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon would make a great coming of age movie

I’ve wondered how Duma Key would work as a film or even a series. It’s hard to adapt some of King’s work. It doesn’t always translate well because it can be so bizarre and detailed.

[@thehitherto5348]

Speaking of Speak No Evil... A remake is quite absurd given how obnoxiously European the original is, but one could imagine an amusing trend of "culture visiting culture" remakes from different perspectives of the world - like a Canadian couple visiting a Florida family, etc.

And the scariest part of It Chapter 1 was when he was climbing over the injured and terrified child mocking him.

Eli Roth didn't direct the Cabin Fever remake, he was approached by a group of young filmmakers who wanted to remake it using the same exact script with different kills and he basically said "sure why not." Also have to hard agree with The Craft: Legacy. One of the worst movies I saw in an awful year for cinema.

When you brought up the over saturation of religious horror i was reminded of Toni Bryanne's video of 'The Constant Mocking of Christianity in Hollywood', in where she remarks on how Hollywood often uses that religion as the butt of the joke, in sexual ways with nuns, or in horror ways with possessions.

After what Christoph Ganes said about how only women care about their children as an excuse to replace Harry in the first Silent Hill movie, I won't touch them.

Plus Pyramid Head is a James specific monster as are the sexy nurses.

and the thing is, it’s not even that no one is writing original concepts, it’s that no studios will pick them up. i’ve seen writers say they shopped around dozens of original scripts and couldn’t get any of them picked up, but they would get offered to write reboots, sequels, etc. :/

[@arwenluvskpop]

Poltergeist is one of the worst remake and horror movies I've seen, which says a lot at least for me. I think it's because it was super insensitive to make that movie in general, especially because of what happened to the two actresses from the original movies. Death Note is also up there in one of the worst movies in general that I've watched, the Japanese live action is way better. Remakes that got it right that I've watched were Evil Dead, Child's Play, and The Crazies (Obviously The Thing as well...but that's too obvious). I also like some hated remakes, like Carrie, maybe the reason I liked it was because I've never seen the original

I saw The Strangers in the theater back in the day, and the reason is WAS so scary & unexpected was because you didn’t already know what the “twist” was. This new movie, it’s in the gd tagline. Ugh.

I am very excited to see an extended and ,hopefully, more true version of the HP books put on screen.

I've always thought it'd be a great idea to remake old films that weren't very good but had a really cool concept.

Wait wait wait COHERENCE IS GETTING A SEQUEL?!? that became my favorite movie ans I've shown it to like 7 new people. I'm hating the remake trend but I'm kinda stoked for that 😅

I was honestly shocked by how much I didn't like the 2020 Grudge. It had nothing??? Like it was an Anthology almost, but terrible lol

I think a lot of studios are struggling with their money makers (Marvel/DC) so they are banking on remakes (nostalgia) to bring in money. It's lazy

you HAVE to play Silent Hill 2 before the movie comes out. It's a great game and a remake of the game itself is coming out if you don't wanna play the original (which, imo you definitely should because it's still a masterpiece and a pioneer in the psychological horror genre) Plus, I would love it if you made a video of yourself playing the game. I think a lot of people would watch it!

I'm so frustrated about the harry potter series, it's totally unnecessary. let people miss and be nostalgic with the original material , the actors and the fans are in our 30`s it's just so recent really. And I hate to give any kind of money or attention to that woman

This is why I loved the "Five Nights at Freddie's" movie, it may be cheesy, but the build up was great and the story was amazing and I actually felt like I was "hugged" for the first time watching a scary movie if that makes any sense. All these remakes, reboots, rehashes whatever you wanna call them, feels like I'm being slapped in the face over and over again.
