Your list for this evening is my choice of top 10 horror movie remakes, in complete random order. (I won't even put The Hills Have Eyes on this list, because I have too big of an issue with inbreeded torture movies.) The ones that I haven't seen both versions of I can obviously not post. For a list of more current and upcoming remakes click here. Remakes that aren't released yet and that I would like to see:
IT - Although, I'm not sure I could watch it. I have a thing with clowns. They totally freak me out.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Imagine Johnny Depp playing Eddie. Which he probably won't. Or..?
Little Shop of Horrors - I can't even remember the original, it was too many years since I saw it. Guess no matter the outcome it'll still be a surprise then.
Evil Dead - Yes, come on, film it already!
Let The Right One In (Låt Den Rätte Komma In) - This one is the most interesting, to see how the Americans will interpret one of the Swedish movies I actually do like. (Being a Swede doesn't automatically make you a fan of Swedish movies, rather the other way around.)
The Birds - Would potentially ruin a cult phenomenon (as well as with all Hitchcock's movies), but worth a watch. Rumor says that Naomi Watts will star. She'd be welcome to if she'd bring some of those Mulholland Drive vibes with her again.
Children of the Corn - This one could be fun. And maybe I won't be as terrified of it as I was of the original when I was.. I don't know, 10?
Scanners - Which wasn't worth watching at all, but I sat through it for an article I was writing about the psi phenomenon. Maybe Darren Lynn Bousman (Director of SAW) can make the new version a bit more gory and entertaining?
Scream - I don't know what they plan to do with this? More testosterone filled and hormone confused killers? A higher frequency of high school drama? Despite my sarcasm, this is in fact one of the movies that I like because of it's sentimental value. It was released the year I turned 10, and we went out of our ways to get a hold of it, since we weren't allowed into the movie theaters. And we did. However, the whole horror evening with much anticipated props and participants, went completely out of hand. Which is a whole other story.
Hellraiser - Another remake of the 80's. Guess it's one of those you just have to watch, for better or worse.
