Okay, lets get straight down to it, what horror remakes do you think were better, or at the very least equal to the original ?

Don't worry you won't be burned at the stake for your opinions!!

Here are some remakes that I thought were better, or even decent:

Let the Right One In (2008) (8) V Let Me In (2010) (8) - The English language remake was superb in my opinion. Captured the atmosphere of the original perfectly.

The Woman in Black (1989) (8) V The Woman in Black (2012) (8) - The remake delivers! Both creepy films.

Pet Sematary (1989) (8) V Pet Sematary (2019) (8) - One of the most controversial entries on my list! This is a solid of the original movie, it seeps and drips with gritty bleakness.

The Thing from Another World (1951) (8) V The Thing (1982) (8) - Obvious entry, both brilliant!

Night of the Living Dead (1968) (8) V Night of the Living Dead (1990) (7) - The original is king, but the remake is very decent.

The Fly (1958) (8) V The Fly (1986) (8) - Another obvious choice, both classics, remake shades it for the gore!

Ringu (1998) (8) V The Ring (2002) (7) - The original is superb. The remake was good too. The remake has a 7.1 rating on IMDb after all.

Fright Night (1985) (7) V Fright Night (2011) (7) - Both very entertaining, the remake was much better than expected.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) (5) V Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) (7) - The remake here is superior. The original never did it for me, oddly enough.

REC (2007) (8) V Quarantine (2008) (7) - Quarantine not quite as strong as the original, but still very good.

The Blob (1958) (6) V The Blob (1988) (7) - Gore prevails!

Maniac (1980) (6) V Maniac (2012) (7) - A Remake that exceeds the original in every way.

Suspiria (1977) (9) V Suspiria (2018) (7) - Not as good as the original but very good.

The Evil Dead (1981) (9) V Evil Dead (2013) (6.5) - No where near as good as the original but I liked its own take of the story.


What remakes did you think were as good or better than the original ?

The Thing (1982), The Fly (1986) and Little Shop of Horrors (1986) are all I can think of that are unquestionably better than the originals...

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) was a really solid flick. It's at least as good as the original.
