3 Horror Movies That Should Have a Remake

Remakes frequently drive people derange, most affected are horror fans (me included), being the capital of remake-sucksville. The genre, too, has the widest range of remakes, from sloppy ones like A Nightmare on Elm Street to - hallelujah - satisfying ones like Let Me In. But still, horror wasn't awarded the title as "capital" of remake-sucksville for nothing. Hence, the malaise of one horror fan when a horror movie is going to be remade.

Recently though - hallelujah twice - a couple of films that would seem to make a great remake are on their way, Evil Dead definitely tops them, Carrie, follows its tail. Texas Chainsaw 3D, a reincarnation of the Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist) cult classic, is going to be remade too (this one I have my doubts on). If chances turn out happy for these films and they make great movies, horror remakes, one will conclude, is far from dead. In advance, I've made a list of three horror movies that should have a remake soon. Hitting two birds with one stone, I tried to respond to this clever comment in this blog:

ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968)

Almost fifty years in memory and it's still creepy as hell, Rosemary's Baby is a staple to any horror fan. While fans might turn to madmen when I say this should need a remake, you shut it out. I've got a few words of explanation that might interest you.

Rosemary's Baby is about a martyr wife of an actor who is raped by a demonic entity. Turns out hubby's got a deal with evil for quite a time, and this consequently brought a baby inside Rosemary's womb. Baby dies as she delivers it, but eventually finds it surrounded by a coven of Satan slaves. The movie, who runs a little too long, might use a faster pacing to be introduced to the younger generation. Additionally, this movie is scarier than most of what's been remade. What the fudge?

SLEEPAWAY CAMP (1983)

Slashers. And another one, and another one...and another one. From meta-movie Scream to fan fave Friday the 13th, we all had an ample supply of slasher films. Three quarters of those are honestly trash. The 80's had tons of slashers, more trash too. Sleepaway Camp should be different, while the usual formula is at use: kids get to a camp, kids get killed. Sleepaway has one of the most inventive kills that you normally see on today's cinema, and twists that are unjustifiably jaw-dropping. *laughs* It deserves to be reborn and get modernized, get finessed or something.

RE-ANIMATOR (1985)

Re-Animator practically tells the story of Frankenstein. Only more dead are re-animated. A crazed oddball med student is eager to re-animate dead tissues to bring species back to life. Of course, things get all crazy and terrifying. Its simplistic premise has sprung one of the most gruesome kills I've seen, and given it's date , most convincing effects. It also boasts of terrifying moments bolstered by first-rate characterization. Frankly, remaking this is a helluva task but it's worth the risk.
