Horror movies

Meh, remakes suck nowadays imho, but what we do need is a final installment of "Phantasm" but that will never happen :hmm:

I agree that most remakes are not good, but if a movie is going to get remade I'd like to see it done by the guy that did the original. Try to get the best of a bad situation, y'know?

I'd love to see another Phantasm, but I don't think Angus Scrimm is up to it anymore and I just don't see anyone else playing the Tall Man. Then again, I said the same thing about Freddy Krueger.
 
If you want a movie that's existence is a horror, Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2.

Aside from that the last horror movie I saw was Drag Me to Hell. It was good to see Raimi get back into horror and I had a lot of fun seeing it in theaters.

I've also been told that watching Paranormal Activity at home with a good sound system is pants wetting for at least half an hour after it's done.
 
Just google Suspiria remake.

Ok I did and found a bunch of stuff about Natalie Portman and some guy talking about remaking Suspiria who is not Dario Argento. I now have zero hope for that one... :rolleyes::D

Saw the Wolfman this weekend at the theater. With the exception of a few over CGI'd monster parts and a bit of lameness near the end I really liked it. Del Toro is a good actor and of course there is Anthony Hopkins. Not his best work but he is still great. Thumbs up!
 
The Wolfman gets a lot of points for sticking close to the original, but its not a very good film.

On the horizon--Nightmare on Elm street reboot sounds dodgy, as does the new Resident Evil. I'm not seeing much to get excited about, aside from the fact that no-one has decided to carry through with remaking Rosemary's Baby.

I saw the Wolfman last week, and was dissappointed. I wanted it to be great, because I was such a fan of the original...but it wasn't...there were a couple of cool moments, but overall...meh...underwhelming...
