Brace Yourself: Here Come The Horror Remakes!

[dew]

Anyway, I was waiting for someone to mention a Pet Sematary remake. I loved Pet Sematary. I was 9 or 10 when I first saw it. It was one of the first uncut rated R movies I had ever seen. Gabe and even more so ZELDA have never weakened their grasp on my imagination. Zelda is possibly the single most terrifying thing I've ever seen put to film. I'm glad I'm not tasked with that remake; recreating her is like repainting the Mona Lisa.

EXACTLY. All these years later and I'm still terribly uncomfortable watching those scenes. That is why horror remakes are so touch and go... it's difficult to improve on the scenes that truly terrify. They burn themselves into our psyches and everything else will be a poor substitute.

I agree with everything except pet cemetery. I loved this movie and i also loved the book. the thing that bugged me about the movie is that every animal or person that came back from the grave was mangled and bloody as they were when they died. gage on the other hand came back without a scratch! the poor little turd got owned by a semi truck! in the book gage came back as a nasty mangled little devil. I would like to see a remake keep it real. and as for zelda, she was spooky for sure but she could be far nastier in a remake. verdict- GO FOR IT! although im sure they would screw it up but what the hell, I'll go see it

I would like to see They Live remade. I've read a lot of people complaining about ruining classics by remaking them, but the original movie doesn't change. If you don't like the remake, don't watch it twice.

Suicide Club is a 2001 film about a detective trying to solve a string of murders. Battle Royale is the 2000 film based on Kinji Fukasaku novel of the same name.

Oh yeah. After reading this I got them confused. Thanks for clearing that up. :)
