only going to disagree with THE HITCHER on that list-loved it

I struggled a bit with Hitcher....

I think that Amityville Horror,House Of Wax,King Kong and Texas Chainsaw (from the best list) should switch with Psycho,The Omen, Halloween and The Grudge...

Surely 'The Stepford Wives' remake should have been on the list!! That was atrocious...

AndrewX - Worst taste in film..? Hmm wondered why The Hitcher was there but totally agree with the rest.

Black Christmas should have been number one. THE worst movie I've seen in years. And can The Ring 2 really even be called a remake? It's been awhile since I've seen Ringu 2, but they seem like completely different stories! And while I agree with The Grudge 2 being bad, I think the first one was pretty good. Especially the unrated version.

I kinda liked The Hitcher too. Not entirely sure it should be on the list, but not a real problem. And you know, I still have a problem judging the Halloween remake. In my opinion, it failed miserably as a REMAKE, but if it were an original movie (well, as original as slashers can be...especially a Rob Zombie movie) i think it would have been received better. I still can't really make up my mind about it. Overall good list though.

you completely missed the mark with halloween. the movie rocked. k nuff said

The original 'Sisters' is neither by Cronenberg or "near-perfect".

yeah there is a dcenet amount of movies on this list that were alright, definitely not the worst ever

i'd agree with most but i thought the grudge was a good remake along with the hitcher and black christmas

The ones I've seen on that list are crap, the others I avoided because I figured they'd be crap, but I do enjoy 13 Ghosts. And that Wicker Man clip was hilarious (I may just have to watch the movie for a laugh).

I really dont get this list, how could you hate Psycho??? it was the SAME AS THE ORIGINAL!!! and dark water was a great film, just because it wasnt horror you shouldnt hate it.

pretty much a spot on list here... only I haven't seen halloween yet... in fact Im actually more scared to see it because a) Im a huge Zombie fan b) I'm a huge Halloween fan.... so I'm thinking if i pretend it was never made - everyone wins

I'm not so sure about this list. The original Hitcher was awful -- the remake was probably better. 13 Ghosts is like everybody's dirty little secret and Pulse was not as bad as everyone wishes it was. It wasn't good either, but it wasn't awful. Wicker Man remake sucked. Balls.

In all Honesty what the hell were you people expecting from these Remakes?

why did you even put Halloween on there? that was one of the better remakes in a while. I mean come on, we got to see Michael as a kid and what fucked him up. Im not saying the original isn't a classic, but the remake is great too.

agree with the list but only disagree ment that i have is sisters i nevr seen it so hats the only one.

Those wickerman clips were the funniest things i've seen in years! Of the ones i've seen, (if i say i'm not gonna watch a remake, then i don't). Psycho- Should be number 1, The fog- oh god yes!, Halloween- amityville was much worse. 13 ghosts?! Oh go on then. It was bad, manly because not enough people died!

Apparently you haven't seen the Day Of The Dead or April Fool's Day remake. Those definitely would have been on the list. The AFD remake was terrible beyond terrible, but Taylor Cole is pretty hot. Since she doesn't get nekkid though, it's epic FAIL. I also agree with ultrazilla2000, Black Christmas should have been number one.

I agree with pretty much with the list although I did enjoy The Hitcher.

What's incredible about this list is this is almost every horror remake to come out in the past 10 years. I strongly believe 'Amityville' should join the ranks of these turds, but none of them should given a pass to make room for it. Jan De Bont's 'THE HAUNTING' is also a massively embarassing pile of shit. Also: Mick Garis' 'The Shining' is painful.

I agree with most of the list although personally i find TCM:the beginning and The Hills Have Eyes to be worse than some cause they killed the spirit of the originals

While Pulse wasn't scary, I still found it to be entertaining. Ok, not the first time, but after given time to digest and getting back the tower suicide helped. The Hitcher I thought was great. Again, not scary, just fun. When a Stranger Calls, well, I felt it was realistic. There's no way a 17 year old could fight off a psycho for a half hour in a house. It was all about the build up, wondering where he was, when it was going to happen. All three could have been better but they could have been a lot worse.

drmodem, The Stepford Wives remake was a comedy not horror, it was supposed to be funny

Another fun list, keep 'em coming. I agree with 5 on the list and haven't seen 2. Otherwise, I found something to enjoy out of the rest and loved Halloween and Dark Water. Dark Water is not in-your-face scares or even horror probably, but's it a well acted, cerebral supernatural movie with a cool tone. Far from "horrendous". Saturday night Sci-Fi Channel movies are horrendous.

I'd say this though about this list, i'd replace The Hitcher and Halloween remakes with Night of the Living Dead 3D and Godzilla

you should have waited for this list. prom night remake is coming in a few weeks

Halloween wasn't bad at all. While The Hitcher wasn't very good it wasn't that bad. Black Christmas was bad, but also fun in how terrible it was. I don't think The Ring Two was a remake. A sequel to a remake.

Me thinks ya have a thing for set design?

Great list! All these remakes sucked!

I love the re-make of Black Christmas. It's gory, it's tasteless, it's (maybe unintentionally) hilarious. Viewing has become a new Christmas tradition in my family. I can understand why serious critics hate it, and maybe why some serious horror buffs don't like it, as it's not very scary. In my opinion, though, it's great in the vein of Troma-great, and in 20 years, I believe it's going to be revered by cult film lovers worldwide!

Original SISTERS is DE PALMA not Cronenberg! U FAIL

I was going to say the Day of the Dead remake should have been on the list(and made number one) but this is for the ones that hit theaters. I'm surprised how few of these I've actually seen. I've skipped all of the Japanese remakes after seeing the Ring and realizing how awful it was(and having no interest in the original). But I have to say, I just recently saw the original Wicker Man and was greatly disappointed with it. Like what the fuck was that supposed to be? It was like the fucking sound of music with lots of strangely out of place nudity O_o But I'm glad to see The Fog so close to number one, that actually made me angry when I watched it.

The only movies on that list I disagree with are Thirteen Ghosts and Halloween, I thought those were pretty decent... compared to the other crap piles on this list.

Sisters was made by De palma

Why is Psycho barely on the list??? That's not just the worst remake by far, but it's one of the worst movies EVER. Miscast across the board, pointlessly updated in some areas but not in others, and just simply shit. If you struggled with Hitcher shouldn't that be on the 'just made it' position?

I like Halloween.

I think the first The Grudge remake and Zombie's Halloween are bit better than people make them out to be- though they are still pretty bad.

Too bad Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning couldn't be allowed to be on this list. That, for me, is one of the worst horror movies of the decade. What a sorry excuse for explaining Leatherface's origin. IMO I'd put Halloween lower on the list because the other ones mentioned are far worse. Agrre with JGrayland about the Psycho remake. One of the worst casting I've ever witnessed. Anne Heche as Janet Leigh? What the hell were the studios smoking, and is it cheap?

I think the list is fine, just in the wrong order. And it should be a 10, because Hitcher, Black Xmas, Thirteen Ghosts, Wicker Man (SO FUCKING HILARIOUS), and The Omen have their flaws but dont deserve to be lumped in with these other piles of crap.

I really liked Rob Zombie's Halloween. And for those of you who haven't seen his unrated director's cut on DVD you really should because some key parts are changed which does make it a lot better than the theatrical version. Black Christmas should be number 1. The original Black Christmas came out before the original Halloween and the original When A Stranger Calls, and its clear to see that it inspired both movies. It was the template for modern horror and this sequel needed to shine not only for itself but to bring attention to the criminally unappreciated original. Sadly, the remake sucked the shit of a dead old person's ass. Let's throw the Prom Night remake in there even though it's not out yet. Tell me that ain't gonna suck..........

I disagree with The Grudge, The Hitcher, Thirteen Ghosts, and Black Christmas being on the list. Otherwise, not bad.

you made a mistake the wicker man was amazing it was so fuckin bad that it was funny. I loved it.

I would have left off Thirteen Ghosts & Halloween, which I enjoyed, and added Night of the Living Dead 3D & The Haunting.

one missed call should be after halloween

I think sometimes people are a bit to critical of Rob Zombies Halloween. I mean, it wasnt the original...not even close, but i mean, it was still entertaining and i dont think its one of the worst. I also didnt think Hitcher was all that bad either, again entertaining and probablly does not deserve this list. Other than that i would pretty much say spot on, especially with that stupid psycho remake and Omen.

I also do not remember 13 ghosts being that bad, but i was like 13 the last time i saw the thing so im not gonna argue on that. Even if i liked it then, i was prolly just young and stupid and would hate it now.

Sigggghhhhh. - The Hitcher wasn't bad (except for the NIN song HORRIBLY out of place) - Black Christmas was a lot of dumb fun (check your own review). - Dark water wasn't nearly as bad as you make it out to be. - What is with all the Halloween bashing? It's got flaws but it's nowhere near as bad as everyone likes to say it is. Does not belong on the worst list. Thanks for not making it #1 though, that type of thing seems trendy lately. Holy crap, Dark Water is not NEARLY as bad as Psycho, The Omen, 13 Ghosts, or The Grudge. How is it #2? That's fucked. At least it has competent actors. Other than those pile of gripes, good list. haha.

I actually enjoyed most of the movies on that list...does that make me a bad person?

I agree with zerox_Dogma rob zombie halloween was a pretty good remake.But what do you expect you had the house of wax remake as one of the best remakes ever.

I think some of the movies that are listed are not worthy of being on the list. The Omen was not a bad movie. It was well acted and really was a skillful update on the previous 1970s film. Halloween is godawful compared to the original film, and Zombie seemed to focus to much on why he turned out like he did instead of making a scary movie. I think of all the issues with that film (and their are alot of them), the major problem is it wasn't scary. Yeah some of the kills were "ok", but it was not at all scary. I can't think of any moment in the film where I felt a sense of dread. Now while I think Halloween's remake was a utter joke compared to the original classic, it's not one of the worst films I have ever seen. I think house of wax was a far worse movie then either the Omen, Halloween, or Pulse.

Despite the fact that it is considered to be the 4th installment, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4 (with Mathew and Regnee) is no doubt a remake, and the worst one in movie history.

I am so sick of people defending that horrible Halloween remake... Rob Zombie is a douche and I have heard better dialog in hole in the wall bars at last call.

I can see it now. Mr. D, alone at his computer, wondering aloud, "Hmmm. What other excuses can I come up with to take shots at Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN? Let's see... Wait! I've got it! A Worst Remakes list! And just to make sure I don't have to justify listing HALLOWEEN before complete turds like BLACK CHRISTMAS, THE HITCHER, THE OMEN, and ONE MISSED CALL to anyone, I'll make it a 'Top 15' instead of 'Top 10'! I'm a genius! At the rate I'm going, I'll be able to add a new RZ HALLOWEEN bashing piece to the site every week until 2064!"

I think the Wicker Man should have been #1, that movie was sooooo bad! I liked 13 Ghosts, Pulse, and The Grudge. None of them were scary, but I enjoyed them anyway.

jkrouskop...I think I love you. I really need to find another horror site to go to where the owner doesn't infuriate me every damn day with his rantings. It saddens me that this place is affiliated with Horrorhound Weekend.

Kywomprat I wasn't defending the movie, I think it is terrible. However to rank it in the top15 of worst horror movies ever remade is a bit much. It's bad but their are worse films. Ultimately it comes back to taste, and while I really enjoyed the TCM remake, and enjoyed the TCM:The Beginning even more then the first movie, many don't agree with me. I will go so far as to say I thought the original TCM movie wasn't very good, and boring (I own the uncut version btw), and the sequels were terrible too. I personally think TCM & TCM:The Beginning improve on what IMO is a crappy horror series.

Also something else should be added. While in regards to the Halloween Remake. The overwhelming majority of all the Halloween sequels that have been made since the original are terrible. I am a big fan of the series but they are pretty bad. I don't think Michael Myers has been scary since the second film, and while H20 tried to repair the damage done by movies 3-6 it still fail to deliever actual scare. The saving grace of the film was Jamie Lee Curtis. Everyone wanted to see Lorie again and she delievered. I would say Rob Zombie's movie is better then 3-4-5-6-8 of the Halloween sequels, however it's garbage compared to the original.

Black Christmas and The Hitcher were great!

Wow, I finally agree with Mr Disgusting. Most of those movies WERE crap, though I would've added Amityville Horror, TCM and House of Wax into the picutre(no, those didn't deserve BEST REMAKE). Maybe even The Haunting, which wasn't EVEN scary at all(it was remaked into some strange ABC Family-esque movie). Maybe round it off as "20 Worst Horror Remakes of All-Time" and toss in the made-for TV movie of Invasion of the Body Snatchers(from 1993). Add those five to the 15 and you'd have an even 20.

I have to admit, alot of these I haven't seen. The only film I did enjoyout of this list was Rob Zombie's Halloween. But the rest of the list of movies I've seen is spot on. But you should have added: The Haunting Salem's Lot(TV Movie) Carrie (TV Movie) House of Wax Texas Chainaw Massacre: The New Generation(this is asemi-remake/sequel) Body Snacher(with Gabrielle Elise) Night of the Living Dead 3D

I disagree alot with some of your choices but some i totally agree.

cant agree with the grudge and halloween but SO agree with the omen.

i call total bullshit on having HALLOWEEN in the top 10.. every freaking movie on this list was worse than halloween. i mean come on! you have freaking psycho and one missed call higher ranked than halloween? terrible list. most of the movies on there deserve it but need to be rearranged.

Thirteen ghosts was awesome.Should have switched it with amitiville horror.

i watched the remake of the omen the other night. only good thing about it was the decapitation of the photographer. i haven't seen a lot of movies on this list but totally agree on halloween. the hitcher is the only one on here that i'd take off but it's nowhere near the original. dark water wasn't bad, just really boring.

Dark Water wasn't even really a horror film but was still good and superior to the original. It had a good cast and acting and a decent little mystery behind it. I guess you forgot about Night of the Living Dead 3-D, which I wouldn't blame you.

pretty dead on with those... but the hitcher was sick... night of the living dead 3D should have been on there for sure though

let me give you all 5 reasons why the Halloween remake sucked 5. We open up and see Haddonfield an average looking American town (which might I add was kind of the point of Halloween) but then there is this little island of white trash surrounded by typical America. 4. I can not begin to say how bad the damn dialog was. 3. The story line was one big fucking plot hole after another. 2. The second half of the movie with older Michael was so rushed it kind of fucked up the movie. 1. Ken Fore should have just been in the whole movie and I just want a film about big Joe Grizzly.

LOLZ! you fucking crack smoking dickhead! the omen rocked! so did the rest... mr. disgusting... im quite upset by this... i thoguht you were cool...

LoL its amazing the "weird" things you can read here...The Original Hitcher an awful movie?? the remake was better?? damn stop drinking!!....Halloween totally deserved to be on the list it wasnt a good movie, bad acting, awful dialogues, annoying shacky cam work, no suspense at all, Myers reduce to just another killer and i agree with B-D it was a long boring movie. Its beyond me that people makes those crap a success when much better made movies like "Grindhouse" deserved better.

Hitcher was good movie way better then the 1st.

I hope you dont mean the Hitcher remake is better then the Original.

1. Halloween - I would rather eat a shit sandwich then watch this turd again. 2. Halloween - did I tell you I would rather eat a shit sandwich then watch this turd again. 3. The Fog - I remember reading an article with SuperGay Tom Welling talking about how the original wasn't very good. You know what's not good Tom???? Your shitty acting. 4. Black Christmas - No wonder Margot Kidder is pulling out her teeth in the bushes. She probably saw this hunk a crap. 5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Watch the original again and tell me that it's not scarier then this crap fest. Although Jessica Biel's ass is seven heaven. I would still rather look at a bra less Marilyn Burns. 6. Prom Night - You know it's going to suck so we might as well throw it on the fire. 7. My Bloody Valentine - I have a great idea. Lets make it 3D!!! Yawn.....wake me up when this fucking fad goes away. 8. Rosemary's Baby - They don't even have a script for this yet but you know anything that involves Michael Bay is gonna blow donkey dicks. 9. The Wicker Man - How many bad movies can Nick Cage do in a year. Bro...it's time to make Valley Girl 2. 10. Halloween - I can't begin to tell you how much I hate this movie. I wish Rob Zombie and his no talent wife and stupid b - list actors will go away. How could anyone in there right mind read his script and give this jerkoff millions of dollars. I wet my pants just thinking about it. EGATZ!!!!!

SHITBUSTER... Everything, I mean everything that Michael Bay or Platinum Dunes touches are awesome. Come on, really... with a line-up like Friday The 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The Birds and Rosemary's Baby coming out. Who would you rather have produce them? Michael Bay and his team are gonna do awesome on these upcoming projects. Lets start with Texas Chainsaw, dude, that was totally sweet how the new kills were achevied. Killing with her boyfriend face as a mask... come on, that was crazy with a dash of "holy sh*t" in the mind. Next, we have The Amittyville Horror. That killed the original with Ryan Reynolds playing a semi-villian. How badass was that with him, as an comedy actor, as a creepy dog killer, lol, but he fit that role to a T. Another one, The Hitcher... It was just like the original, shot for shot, but with the female as the lead. How many female leads have seen their boyfriend split in two by a truck? NONE... Next, we have Texas: The Beginning... Jordana Brewster playing a lead where she as well as her cast are killed... where everyone dies. I think she got it the worst... a chainsaw from behind where she took out two others under the same scream. That was... bitchin' and with the name Michael Bay behind the scenes, we as a audience, should expect a wicked show. Now in days, how can we, as a horror fanbase, expect a great story? They are doing remakes as fast as we are changing our shirts. Now. it's all about the kills and the way how they are being killed are bringing people in the theatres... like the Saw movies, which is dying with each movie now, but at least it's Michael Bay and he's gonna save the horror field as we speak.

And yet the worst are still to come. Do you think the new Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St, hell i don't know maybe even the remake of the remake of Night of the Living Dead or whatever corspe of a old classic they can dig up and skull fuck are gonna be any better. Three or four years from now there gonna do this same list again with the same bitchin'& moaning from all you dumbasses who threw down cash to see this shit. Listen, If you are true horror fans don't even watch it. I don't care if you say " i really love freddy krueger and i just gotta see da new one". FUCK YOU! Then I gotta listen to you whine on BD about how it sucked & how you were sooooooooooo let down. Here's a concept, support New,ORIGINAL horror and don't rely on Micheal Bay or any Hollywood tool bag who totally talked shit about horror back in the day before it got profitable again to regurgitate(sic?) it for you

another candidate for this list is:APRIL FOOLS DAY just watched it this week,or should i say FFW through this piece of crap!!

Halloween should NOT be on this list, SORRY!!!!

Ugh. Ok, while I agree with most on this list, there is a few corrections: #12 - Black Christmas - good horror flick. Never saw the original, but it a good gory romp. As a stand alone film, it was entertaining. #11 - Thir13en Ghosts - Great movie. Loved the effects and story. IMO Dark Castle has done a decent job so far (with the exception of Gothica...CRAP!) And now, the biggest complaint and misconception: #7 - Halloween - Ok, say it with me: THIS.WAS.NOT.A.REMAKE. This was a 're-imaging'. What that means, kids, is that Rob Zombie took the premise of the film, wrote it in his image, and told the story from his point of view. True, it had similarities to the original, but it was never meant to be a 'remake'. Therefore, it does not qualify for this list. At all. Focus, people.

The 1994 Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre would be my #1. It was so bad I couldn't even enjoy it on a B level. This goes down as one of the worst movies I have ever seen in general. Put his on your list!

Going to have to completely disagree with 5,7,11,12, and 13. #1 is by far the ultimate winner. Good call.

I agree with the list for the most part. I liked The Omen, Thirteen Ghosts and The Hitcher. When A Stranger Calls, OMG!! Hands down the worst fucking movie I ever watched! I fell asleep during the first 30 minutes. Same with the Grudge I tried watching it twice and kept falling asleep. I didn't even bother with the 2nd. The Wicker Man, I don't mind Nick Cage, but hated it. Black Christmas was so cheaply done and stupid!

I think any movie, released recently, that is PG-13 is not really horror and should not be on the list, and are American films based on Japanese's ones really remakes?

Seriously, did you really think that stupid remake for psycho, which deserves to burn in hell, was worse than Halloween? Not to mention the stupid Omen remake. Halloween really does not deserve this list.

I totally agree with The Omen and The Grudge., but Black Christmas deserves number one.

omen remake was hiddius but halloweeen wasnt that bad!! im still scepticle of nmoes remake if they do make it and bd does anoither list thatl be on it!!!

Rob Zombie's Halloween IS that bad. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Disgusting for making that clear on more than a few occasions. There should be a daily message board dedicated to bashing that film. I can't understand the need to defend a turd like that. FUCKING AWFUL.

i think its safe to say that all remakes are terrible. no remake has ever been better than the original. this list is merely a continuation of the "best" remakes list (its #s 11-25). so rearrange them in any order you all want... but all remakes suck... imo

oh and Rob Zombie makes (and remakes) boring films... garbage all around

I must say that I felt great while reading this list, because I avoided seeing most of these - knowing they'd be awful. However, I may be the only person in the world who was entertained by The Wicker Man (I thought the original was far goofier) and maybe by just liking that, I should'nt feel too great. On a side note, the other two movies I did see were 13 Ghosts (the ghosts were worth the price of admission to me) and Halloween (and I was very dissapointed).

Psycho, The Hitcher, Black Christmas, 13 Ghosts, and Halloween were all superfun horror flicks. Everything else I either didn't even give a chance or it just sucked. I agree with number 1. Here's my fuck you to Mr. Disgusting: NIN in The Hitcher kicked fucking ass. Think about it, they had to have a cool counterpart to the ever so shitty All American Rejects.

You'll be adding friday the 13th and nightmare on elm st shortly haha

That Fog remake...HURT! I would have rather been at home with a do-it-yourself vasectemy kit then have to sit thru that again.

You people need to get off Rob Zombies dick... 1. I am sure most of you defending him are still in high school 2. if you are defending him and are out of high school you might want to consider going back. <br> Rob Zombie was a shitty fucking musician who decided to start trying to make horror movies. The guy has good ideas but somehow always falls short of making a good film. <br> If you want good horror movies go rent some classic Italian movies. Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava, and Michelle Soavi. These are good directors, these people make good films. Watch Cemetery Man and tell me that is not better then that Rob Zombie Garbage. <br> I will put a bullet in my fucking head if they ever start remaking these movies however.

agreeed on alll acccounts but the 'Halloween' one. i loved what Rob did with it and it was very suspenseful for me. granted i've never liked the original, but yea. goood list!!

Are you basing your opinion on these movies off of todays standards or is your rating based off the original. If you are comparing them to the original movie I would say thirteen ghost is a much better movie than it's original. I watched probably the first 30 mins of the original and it sucked so bad that I stopped the movie

Black Christmas, When A Stranger Calls, and The Grudge 1 & 2 were the best. Halloween was okay but Rob Zombie did try his best.

ok funny thing is pretty much all the movies yu have listed have destroyed the box office and are some of the most popular movies of our genuration goes to show how much you know i would love to see your to 15 horror movies let me guess the originals of those films which people laugh at these days!!! great critic you are like to see you make a remake!!! proberly be one of the biggest comedys of all time!

Mr.D how are you a horror fan??? you completely left out The Haunting. and The Ring two wasnt a remake!!!!!

replace the ring two with The Haunting then, i think i do know why he put the ring two on the list, cause as a fan of the original remake he was disappointed with the sequel

THERE IS SOME THAT SHOULD BE IN BEST 10

all of you people are fucking morons.

Great List!

Other than the hitcher and Halloween (which not great isn't worst ever) i agree with that list

I have to disagree wholeheartedly with Halloween. I thought the approach was brilliant, especially in the sea of shitty remakes. I thought the Hitcher was a pretty good try compared to all these other ones, but I wouldn't say I'd see it again.

good list. if you tought those clips of the Wicker Man were funny,you should check out the Rifftrax version that Mike Nelson and the guys from MST3000 did on it. fuckin' classic!

I agree with 95% of the list. I actually really liked The Grudge... The Grudge 2 however was completely awful.. As for Rob's Halloween I have to agree the first part was great.. he gave a cool back story that was really interesting.. after that it was pretty much frame for frame except for the ending... I still love it though cause I guess I'm just a Zombie/Halloween fanboy hehe

Halloween was a good movie, I can't say that for the rest of them though..

Rob Zombie´s Halloween is a MASTERPIECE! The best slasher movie to come in years. And I also liked Dark Water. It´s a nice,cosy dramahorror. Heartbreaking and wonderful. The rest I can only agre. Psycho is horrible. Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates, you must be kidding me!!!

Halloween is the GREATEST horror film remake... but otherwise spot on...

Im hear'n mixed feelings for Hallween remake, but if you think about it, who else would you trust to remake a classic. Zombie's the man and would the remake look better if it was done by another crew? I dont know but i dought it!!! Also, the ORIGINAL Pulse is one of my all time favs, as are most J-horrors. Minus the Ring, every remake of a J-horrer film is going to suck.

The only one I disagree with was The Hitcher. As much as I hate to say it, it wasn't a bad remake. I love original (Rutger Hauer is the man), and the remake doesn't hold a candle to it. I did, however, still enjoy it.

i liked dark water, pulse, the grudge, when a stranger calls, halloween, black x-mas and, 1 missed call. king kong should be on this list. im buying the hitchet 2day!

Ok in all honesty there are much worst remakes then The Hitcher, Pulse, and 13Ghost! Although When a Stranger Calls wasn't great I dont feel it deserved #1 come on!! One Missed Call was the worst movie I ever seen in my life, It deserves the #1 spot!! The Hill have Eyes should be on there! and I haven't seen the original Black Christmas I really enjoyed the current(remake) of it!

While I actually enjoyed both THIRT13EN GHOSTS and BLACK CHRISTMAS as remakes [they work where other's don't - 'nuff said] .... a few remakes that will soon be added to this list include THE EYE [2008, more PG-13 crap], PROM NIGHT [2008, further PG-13 crap] .... let's hope neither of these encourages a sequel [Motion Picture Studios need to wake the f^&k up, remakes are similar to adaptions from comic books / graphic novels, you have a built in audience but if you cheat us out of a quality movie we will dis you for eternity]!!! ~(^)~

p.s. - The ONLY thing I liked about Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN was the cast [genre / character actors with great dialog are tops] but the film as a whole was awful [I only hope John Carpenter + the estate of Debra Hill got paid royalties for this]!!!

WTF???this is absolutely wrong the grudge 1 and 2,halloween,the omen,the hitcher,one missed call,black christmas,dark water,the fog and specially when a stranger calls should NOT be here

Whenever American studios try to remake Asian horror movies they never get them right-they always turn out awful in my opinion...

I agree with the list, these movies just weren't good at all. They had no soul.

No way should Rob Zombie's Halloween be on this list. The only reason to diss this is because people have a love affair with the original. I love the original but I am not gonna go out of my way to diss the remake because of it. The remake has a dark dirty tone which I love and the murders are in your face. And to the people who complain about the dialogue this is not No Country For Old Men.

I disagree with Psycho, The Hitcher, Black Christmas, Th13teenth Ghost, and Halloween being on this list.

i say all remakes are shit ...

Halloween was good so shush about that and the rest i do agree but not halloween

I Agree with most of these: Especially THE FOG - OMG What aload of (Place Abusive Language Here) - - The Wicker Man hmmmm "How did it get Burned?

Th4 Hitcher should b4 switched with King Kong.

Is there anyway we can put a IQ Test up to see if you are smart enough to post on this site? THE HALLOWEEN REMAKE WAS UTTER SHIT

Rob Zombie's Halloween was one of the better re-makes of at least the past 10 years.....No f'n way it should be on this list!

i loved rob zombie's halloween

damn..alot of posts to read before posting..so i burned out.. i agree with The Hitcher not being on there...but you said it yourself..it was hard to add it..it was quite alot like the original other than the role swap. I liked the original alot, but i liked the new one alot too..i thought Sophia Bush was actually pretty good in it.

"Halloween was good so sush" Hey, commie, this is a free country and people can agree or disagree if they want to! "One missed call" was great btw.

I agree totally with this list. Plus may i add, anything with Sean Bean and Nicol ARSE cage in should be shat on and buried with them when I kill them with their own face! Also whayt about house on haunted hill and the haunted?, my eyes bleed because i was mortified how shite they were!

I think Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN was great! No doubt about it!

I though Halloween was awesome, a very good remake.

Halloween by Rob Zombie, isnt the piece of shit everyone says it is, I found this to be quite unique, I actually enjoyed the first hour better than the rest of the movie and felt he took two ideas (new beginning and intro to the idea, and remaking what was already done famously) i think it was a very difficult task trying to please everybody with this, no matter which way it went it Was NEVER going to please everyone... I found it to be very entertaining.

Wow. Halloween is, yet again, the topic of choice for the majority of messages for a thread that is dedicated to many other films. Look, we are nearly a year into the release. Stop the insanity. Stop trying to convince the other side that you are right. Reason for my request for stoppage of Halloween dialogue: No other film has a critical range of "masterpiece" all the way to "turd". Must we get moveon.org to add Halloween topic discussions to their cause? Everyone, from now on, keep your own Halloween opinions to yourselves. We all CERTAINLY understand how you feel. BD, please let the teet run dry, at least until the leaves turn and it's that time of year and you can have an annual Halloween Remakeimaging dukeitoutathon

Ive seen most of these movies 15) phsyco sucked 14) omen was crap 13) i enjoyed the hitcher 12) black christmas is good 11) thirteen ghosts wasnt very good if i remember right. 9) the grudge is one of my favourite movies and the grudge 2 is good. 8) One missed call, i want to see it, my friends say its good. 6) the wicker man was bad 4) the ring two wasnt very good 2) dark water sucked 1) when a stranger calls wasnt that bad..

Ya im gonna have to dissagree with the hitcher and black x-mas, they where good movies and the remakes where well made. and halloween was great... i liked it because it was haloween with rob zombies own little taste of good classic american horror and the ending was superb.

the Hitcher is fukin terrible i dont know who could love it I the remake scene with two trucks they show all the guys guts fall down, soooo boring - in the original no such thing but the effect was great! And i hated Dark water! Agree almost totaly (Halloween was not so bad)

Halloween definitely shoudlo have been number one, never in my life have is een a movie that bad.

this was easily the most stupid and dumb list ive ever seen i mean everything except but psycho,pulse,sisters,the ring two and the wicker man shouldnt of been here and besides the guy who did this list forgot to put april fools day in first place and prom night in second place.

I liked the Grudge. Personally, I thought it was pretty creepy and not as vague as Mr. Disgusting seemed to think. The rest of this list though, dead on, including Halloween. Like Mr. Disgusting, I'm a big fan of Zombie's first two films, but I agree that Halloween ended up being just a jumbled mess and that he should have followed the storyline from the first half of the movie instead of just recycling the bits from the original which he did. I was engrossed in everything until Micheal escaped, then it lost me completely. It just was not a good movie. Sorry kids. Still looking forward to seeing what else Rob will do, but this one was a loss.

I'm reading some of these comments and I'm beginning to understand why horror seems to be in the shithouse these days. Some of you are defending Psycho, Thirteen Ghosts, When A Stranger Calls, and The Hitcher? Have I slipped into a parrallel dimension? What the hell is going on out there? Anyway, I do have to agree with what many people have said about adding The Haunting and House Of Wax to the list, those were abominable pieces of crap, meaning huge and stinking.

my top 15 worse horror remakes.. 15. PSYCHO 14. THE OMEN 13. AMITYVILLE HORROR 12. THE GRUDGE 2 11. KING KONG 10. 13 GHOSTS 09. DAY OF THE DEAD 08. APRIL FOOLS DAY 07. WICKER MAN 06. GODZILLA 05. RING 2 04. WHEN A STRANGER CALLS 03. THE FOG 02. HOUSE OF WAX 01. BLACK CHRISTMAS NOW LEAVE HALLOWEEN OUTTA THIS...SOME OF YOU ARE JUST HATING...AND TRUST ME....WHEN I FIRST HEARD DAT ROB ZOMBIE WAS REMAKING DIS MASTERPIECE, I FREAKED OUT...DAT WAS ONE MOVIE DAT I ALWAYZ HOPED THEY WOULDNT REMAKE...BUT WHEN I FINALLY SAW PICS OF DA CAST AND MICHAEL HIMSELF, I WAS HOPING DA BEST....WHEN I SAW DA MOVIE, I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL GOOD, BUT NOT GREAT...THEN I SAW DA ORIGINAL CUT....I STARTED TO LIKE IT MORE, EVEN THOUGH SUM OF THE SCENES DIDNT WORK WITH DA TIMELINE...WHEN DA UNRATED VERSION CAME OUT, IT WAS COMPLETE...I GIVE IT UP 2 ROB ZOMBIE FOR MAKING A GREAT FILM...A NEW LOOK INTO DA GREATEST SLASHER OF HORROR, STILL USING SOME THINGS DAT MADE HIM DAT GREAT...SO PLEASE STOP WIT DA HATING...AND DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HALLOWEEN...IF U DONT LIKE IT, DONT READ IT...IT COMES 2 SHOW U HOW MANY PEOPLE DUG THIS FILM...NUFF SAID

i agree with eveything but the remake of halloween wasn't that bad. Psycho would have done little better with a differ cast when a stranger calls suck they could have a lest showed some dead kids everthing sucked on this list

Psycho and The Omen (the remakes) were not so much bad movies as there was simply no point to making them (not enough was changed between the original and remake to make much of a difference). And 'The Ring 2' despite being a disappointment is no way worst than 'The Wicker Man'. 'The Ring 2' is just unscary and uninspired. Whereas 'The Wicker Man' is bad on the same level as 'Troll 2', its so bad that it becomes a comedy. Thirteen Ghosts also doesn't deserve to be on this list. If anything it was just typical of most horror movies coming out at the time, all flash and no substance. Consider replacing it with the likes of the 'Day of the Dead' remake or 'April Fools Day' remake.

Ive never seen the original Black Christmas but the remake was sooo bad.. just so cormy and obvious a bit like wrong turn, i mean sometimes you can just enjoy a horror film even if it isn't that good but there were so many cliches etc.. yuk. When a stranger calls was really bad too. Dark Castle should stop making 'horror' films. Yep the sets are good but the computer generated ghosts are so un-scary.. special effects like that are just so dull, i hate their films

I would have put Prom Night (2008), and Day Of The Dead (2008), and House Of Wax (2005) on this list.

i actually really liked halloween i thot rob zombie did a great job showing the evolution of the michael myers character and stayed true to the character by having him kill danny trejos character so i feel haloween should definitely not be on here along with the omen and the hitcher i also enjoyed those movies

Hitcher Rocked, Halloween Rocked... the rest 100% agree, fuckin SUCKED. Oh well except Dark Water has Ms.Super Hotty Hot :)

I agree with your list, except for the Halloween remake and Thirteen Ghosts :o)

Mostly a list of the obvious ones, but I dont think The Grudge belongs here. Found that creepy. But G2 definatly does. I still dont get all the bashing Halloween gets. Being a fan of the original, I thought it didnt harm the fanchise one bit. At least it was better than the shoddy sequels.

Awe man, I liked Rob Zombie's version of Halloween. I used to pick apart my movies like crazy, but I recently watched a new Day of the Dead complete with Ving Rhames! I knew it was going to be horrible but I told myself "ok, yer gonna watch this and not critisize ANYTHING!" And it actually worked, I really enjoyed the movie. Maybe we should all stop being critics of obviously BAD movies?

Loved Halloween,Pulse, and 13Ghost. They are on my best list. We should really stop labeling things classics all that means is that if anyone does get a chance to put a fresh face on it everyones gotta chime in. Oh my god how dare they touch our precious. get over it halloween remake better than the original.

The Hitcher has NO business being on this list, what-so-ever. It was a craftey remake that had you routing for a psychopath. Well, at least I was...maybe thats why "normal" people wouldn't like it.

man when a stranger calls sux i liked halloween i mean it was aight

Have to admit, "13 Ghosts" had to be the number one worst, with "The Fog" running close second. The list seems pretty good otherwise. There should have been "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman," and "King Kong" (With Jessica Lang) somewhere on there. Other suggestions come to mind: "The Blob","Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (with Donald Sutherland, in his "Animal House" days, not to mention the horrible and awful "House of Wax" (with Paris Hilton).

I like Halloween, but yea totaly right on with when a stranger calls the orignal was awesome. "what do you want?"............."Your blood, ALL OVER ME" and then did the kids even die in the new one?

I love majority of those films lol. I guess i only judge by what i see.

I agree with andrew x some of these films should swap with the best remake list. Day of the dead would have fit the halloween spot much better

Finally somebody who knows a good horror remake. I get all sorts of peoples telling me how good half of the movies you listed above are, and they normally say they are better than the original. I just laugh because they have no feel for a well written and thought out remake. I think I am the only one who thought rob's halloween was trash. The fog original is one of my favorite movies and I hate they remake. The only movie on here I thought was good is wickerman. Not saying it's better than the original but I liked it. If you decide to "remake" this list please don't forget to add prom night.

What a horrible list. The Hitcher?! c'mon, this one was damn near BETTER then the orginal... all it lacked was rutgar hauer.. Psycho? really? I guess you hated the orginal one aswell mr.d? aside from being in color its pretty much the same damn film!Halloween? yea that seems to be the fucking scarlett letter around these parts. shame, this used to be such a credible site...
