Horror remakes

[CRAZY BONE]

There are so many horror remakes being made all of the time; Quarantine, The Grudge, Prom Night, One missed call, The Amityville Horror, When a stranger calls, My bloody valentine 3-D, The Hills Have Eyes, The Omen, Mirrors, Pulse, I could go on and on. Besides, all these movies listed only came out as remakes less than 5 years ago. Go back farther and there's tons more. There just doesn't seem to be much originality these days. Most of the time, the remakes are way worse than the originals. I would say that about every movie I listed. But anyways, I wanted to just talk about some of the remakes that I'm actually looking forward to. The 5 main horror franchises; Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw massacre, and Hellraiser. Each of these movies went on to spawn many more movies and they're all based around their central characters which have become icons of horror (Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, and Pinhead). Now, all of these movies are going to be remade in the near future or have already been remade., and I think that's a good thing. I mean, for the younger audience who may not have seen the original versions, or felt they were badly dated and not that scary, they can now view them updated to modern times and in theaters. Even though I appreciate the originals, the remakes can be just as good if not better if done correctly. Halloween is one of favorite movies of all time, and Michael Myers is my favorite character. I personally think that Halloween is one of the worst franchises though because all of the sequels just got worse and worse. I mean, Halloween 8: resurrection was a complete joke and definitely the worst of the series. The remake was a total disappointment for me. I found myself utterly bored at the "climax" ending of the movie, but I won't really go into a detailed review here. Texas Chainsaw Massacre's remake was pretty well-done, but the original is still superior. The prequel was pretty good too, and I here they're making another one. I haven't gotten around to seeing the Friday the 13th remake yet but it looks really good. This is another series like Halloween where the sequels just start to get really bad. Jason X= garbage. So here's a list of horror remakes that I'm really looking forward to: -Hellraiser (2010) -A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) -The Birds (2009) -Creature from the Black Lagoon (2011) Here's some more remakes on the way: -Pet Cemetery (2009) -Leprechaun (2010) -Child's Play (2009)
