The ones I think are decent are The Thing, The Blob, Dracula, The Mummy, House on Haunted Hill, 2001 Maniacs, and The Hills Have Eyes. The ones I think are just crap are Halloween, When A Stranger Calls, Prom Night, and April Fool's Day.
Things like House on Haunted Hill, and 13 Ghosts are fine, they are remakes of very old silly films and turned into darker and gorier films.
Out of your list, the ones I like:
The Thing (1982)
The Fly (1986)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
Body Snatchers (1993)
The Mummy (1999)
House on Haunted Hill (1999)
Thirteen Ghosts (2001)
Ring (2002)
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
Add A Tale of Two Sisters, they have remade this Korean horror and will be out soon...
Hollywood is filled with hacks and plagiarists nowadays, so what do you expect, honestly?
I admit that I liked the re-makes of Dawn of the Dead, The Fly, The Thing, and The Hills have Eyes, but, in my opinion, Hollywood needs to come up with an original idea.
yet you have a sig of the dark night Batman? Where's adam west sporting the blue and grey? no Burt Ward? blasphemy! why must they remake classics like Batman? The 60s movie was good enough........no need for Burton's remake or the new ones.
Halloween remake was better than the original. It has a, gasp, plot.
bullshit 60s batman isn't the real batman. Go back and look at your comics again (hell, google Batman #1 issue and check the cover), then watch Superfriends, then the 60s tv show and movie.
admit it, you think somebody remade a movie......a character, and did it better. You probably think both Nolan and Burton's remakes were better.........yet you post in this very thread about the blasphemy of remakes, calling them disgusting, without even the slightest forsight of irony.
When nearly ALL the mainstream horror films coming out are remakes, you know there is a problem... THAT'S what I hate... It's almost all the horror/slasher movies are, now... Saw and remakes...

Yea his outfit was blue, Yellow and Grey, But yet you look at his first apperance it was Black and grey yellow.....oh no shock that looks almost like what he does with these newer movies and tim burtons one and theres no robin.
I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic, but Halloween remake better than the original? Oh what a load of rubbish about the plot too. It had the SAME plot as the original but added a load of crap about how Myers became the killer he was, that was part of what was good about the original, we hardly knew anything about it. Remake spoilt that.
