Next Major Horror Remake?

*Slap-Happy* · 06-26-2009, 02:15 PM

After the TCM, F13, and the upcoming Nightmare remake? What should be remade?

Hellraiser definately should not. That movie was effing SCARY! I don't think that movie could be remade any better than the original.

Your thoughts on horror remakes and reboots? What should (or shouldn't) come next?

*The Stryker* · 06-26-2009, 02:18 PM

Evil Dead.

I don't care what anyone says.

I expect a few "Remakes are terrible! Raping my childhood!" posts

*Brodie* · 06-26-2009, 03:17 PM

The Evil Dead remake has been in the works for years.

I really enjoyed F13, so I'm not bothered by remakes.

It seems newer remakes, as far as Zombie's Halloween films and the new F13, that these versions of our favorite horror flicks are less campy/fun and deffinately more unsettling, disturbing and, well, scary.

They should remake some of the crappy ones like The Town That Dreaded Sundown or The Gate.

I wish I could see a remake of Fright Night.

I think zombies have been overplayed as horror creatures lately. I'd like to see more vampire movies (not like Twilight, but I mean a really hardcore vampire movie....

*The Stryker* · 06-26-2009, 04:21 PM

I think the era of scary vampires is over.

Time for WEREWOLVES....Spanish ones.

yeah, but who would be good enough to play Ash, other than Bruce Cambell?

Well the Ash in the very first Evil Dead film didn't act anything like he does in the sequel from what I remember. That being the case I'm sure it will be some generic no name actor.

I avoid remakes for the most part. It's not about it raping my past memories I just find I don't enjoy most of them. I'm not a big horror guy anyways. Most horror movies don't have the effect on me they could because the acting is so horrid. In older films it just makes them funny, also the poor production values in a lot of them. In new films the camp factor is gone and while the jump scenes have been bumped up everything else seems to stay the same. The production value is still low it's just by today's standards, which means everything is CGI.

I agree that Hellraiser needs to be left alone. If the film was older I could understand but it's not. I don't count Predator as horror by any means but that's being remade by the guy who did "The Descent" which I found to be a very effective horror film. Doomsday wasn't all that great but it at least had the feel of a cheesy 80's film.

What I wanna see is a sequel to is Nightbreed.

*Brodie* · 06-30-2009, 08:44 AM

No one knows what Nightbreed is, so they won't do a sequel to it. They did a sequel via comics.

As far as alll remakes using CGI....I know that the new F13 was very against using a lot of CGI, and I'm pretty sure Rob Zombie felt the same with Halloween. Others deffinately depend on it, yeah.

I forgot to mention, the next real remake is Pirhana...in 3d.

I'd love a remake of The Gate....I loved that movie.

They are doing a remake of Evil Dead. I have high hopes for it because Sam Raimi is actually doing it. You don't see that too often, the original guy doing a remake of his own movie. Rumors were Bruce Campbell having a cameo as Knowby. Ash's character changes throughout all three movies. Wimpy in the first, little more manly in the second, then just bad ass in the third.

Neil Marshall is not directing the new Predator film. He was one name on Rodriguez's short list of possible directors, but he's not actually getting the gig. It looks like the dude who directed Vacancy is gonna end up with the job.

The Hellraiser remake has been in developmental hell for years now. I don't expect it to ever come out at this point.

ok, for those of us who don't know, how is Knowby?

*Brodie* · 06-30-2009, 03:37 PM

He's the guy who owns the cabin Ash and his friends go to. When they play the recording, there's flashbacks of Knowby.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-30-2009, 05:54 PM

well, Cambell should have a better cameo than that

like the guy that made the Ju-On (The grudge) movies, think he made like 5-6 remakes of the same movie

*Slap-Happy* · 07-01-2009, 12:21 AM

I read about a guy who remade his own film every 10 years

*Candy Kappa* · 07-01-2009, 04:14 AM

only one person can play Ash and thats Bruce himself
