Remake RANT & Worst Horror Remakes

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)!

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.

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

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."

Honestly, every crow film besides the first one didn't need to exist.

[@InkAndPoet]

I think if they didn't name the characters after the original ones, it may not have been as bad.

[@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.

[@rachelshirley5649]

Hating reboots/remakes until it's for a franchise you're excited about is so correct and iconic actually

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

[@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.

[@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!

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."

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.

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 love this rant so much because this is also happening in the Video Game industry as well. I'm more heavily into video games than movies, but we are stuck with remakes, remasters and sequels. But the issue with that also is, there are SO many people/gamers out there that aren't embracing when a new IP comes along. We recently had game press conference which showcased new IP's and ideas especially from indie developers and people whinged "it was mid" or terrible. Luckily with movies, a lot more people are probably willing to see a new idea than just sequels, and I feel movies are doing purely for a 'cash grab' but I wonder if it's also because people just want what they are familiar with. Am I a hypocrite? Yeah, because some of the remakes and remasters I get super excited for but I also want more fresh ideas!! I want something new and original. I don't know - there's my rant haha.

Certain movies and series work really well being film franchise, but they are remaking and giving sequels to stuff that shouldn’t be touched. I feel like remakes were bigger in the 2000s and sequels have been a staple in horror since the 80s. Remakes definitely come in waves, and we had a break for a few years.

In my opinion I think they turning these horror and popular movies into series because the success of Chucky that's going on right now. I also think The Craft: Legacy is more of a sequel/remake(Requel).... Director Renny Harlin had stated in an interview saying The Strangers: Chapter 1 is a standalone remake that will follow a similar premise to the the first film while the following two films has a different narrative that continue the story with the same actress. I learned to separate the Mean Girls remake from the original since the new one is based on a Broadway production.😂 lol.

I agree that the 70s is a great decade for horror, something about the atmosphere. But "black Christmas" from 2006 had a weird campy charm like it was paying homage to the seventies. Also about the people in the comments considering evil dead 2013 as a remake, I feel it's in the same universe as the original and evil dead rise because of the mention of the three volumes of the necronomicon. I want the three of them to team up🤞

But no, the difference when we talk about Saw and Final Destination franchises is that with these there has always been a sh1tton of movies. And it WORKS in these cases. But when a certain movie exists alone FOR YEARS and then all of a sudden there is a new one like why? Just leave it alone.

I really enjoy when "they" (whoever "they" end up being) make a movie that might be a reboot but has something to say. Take Evil Dead 2013. I loved that movie. It was a gut punch that I was not ready for. It was so far away time-wise from the source material that it seems that the decision was made early on to make the look and feel of the new movie completely different from the original. What I left the theatre with and what I think they were trying to say or get across was amazing.

This is why I enjoy indie small brands. The reason why big brands do this is because we don't complain enough about it. We still pay for the movie enough to justify their corporate practices.

I was waiting for you to say REC/Quarantine right after Speak No Evil cause that's LITERALLY the same problem I had with Quarantine. Nothing was changed but the language. Like that was so unnecessary. It was the same movie shot for shot! We didn't need nor ask for an English version.

I disagree with the Harry Potter series. As much as I love the original movies, literally grew up with them, there is A LOT they had to leave out and leaving that out made them have to alter characters and plot points or even make stuff up to cover what they had to skip to fit the films. I am very excited to see an extended and ,hopefully, more true version of the HP books put on screen.

This is such a good and relatable video

I don’t like a lot of horror remakes but The Fly and Suspiria are definitely exceptions for me

[@joco0592]

Ooooo, I'm tired of it too, girl!! I like a remake when it's creative, but when it's a shot for shot...no.

[@Childishlikegambino]

Didn’t even hear about “welcome to derry” I will be sat.

NOT 2019 BEING 5 YEARS AGO, WOOF

[@Nyctm91]

I like this list, you were very funny. I agree with you on all these remakes being terrible! Also I work in the industry and I know for a fact that some of the cast in black Christmas 2019 were bullies (I won’t say who) to other cast members and it shows in how hollow and soulless the movie felt

Carrie 2013 took misstep of cutting Carrie destroying the entire town
