A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Samuel Bayer

With its mess of a script, wasted potential, and questionable effects work, the new Nightmare on Elm Street is sadly disappointing and definitely not made for fans of the original. Those who like Platinum Dunes style of...

April Fools Day (2008)

The Butcher Brothers

The film offers no redeeming values, except for maybe some of the female eye-candy from the lead actresses. There aren't any scares, nudity, or even gore, and I felt as though I was watching some cheesy day-time soap...

Black Christmas (2006)

Glen Morgan

Yet another pointless remake that's nothing more than a bunch of pretty girls getting killed. Instead of wasting time and money on this watch the original instead.

Day of the Dead (2007)

Steve Miner

Almost completely different from the original film in every aspect. Gore, acting, and story-wise, this forgettable remake pales in comparison, and offers nothing we haven't seen before in the genre, aside from...

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010)

Troy Nixey

Even though the narrative is culled from different horror clichés, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark somehow works. It’s not a movie for everyone, and might even strongly piss some people off, but it won me over with it’s well-...

Fright Night (2011)

Craig Gillespie

Fright Night could've been a pointless carbon copy of the original, but instead, turned out to be a surprisingly amusing and enjoyable effort from an overused sub-genre. There are a lot of pros and cons for the changes...

Halloween (2007)

Rob Zombie

So, is this a good movie? Yes, it is, but is it a good remake? No, it isn't. I saw this film for what it was -- a good slasher, and obviously isn't better than the original. However, it is an interesting take on...

I Am Legend (2007)

Francis Lawrence

This was a good film that had potential of being a great film had it not been for the horrible CGI creatures. Aside from that, Will Smith did a decent job as Neville and convinced me into thinking he was the last man on...

Mother's Day (2010)

Darren Lynn Bousman

The flick was fairly violent and bloody when the scenes called for it and offered some decent tense parts that involved our hostages attempting to escape. However, as I said earlier, the movie sadly doesn't really...

My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)

Patrick Lussier

My Bloody Valentine 3D is not only a successful remake, but an overall great slasher and throwback to the 80's. We're given numerous gory on-screen kills by a cool ballsy villain in glorious 3D! How can you go...

Night of the Demons (2009)

Adam Gierasch

The NotDemons remake doesn't really improve on the original as much as it could have and ends up with its own faults and room for improvement. Regardless, I was entertained and kept watching, despite it being incredibly...

Piranha 3D (2010)

Alexandre Aja

Forget about Iron Man, Salt, The A-Team, or whatever else recent disappointment that comes to mind. Piranha 3D is the embodiment of what a fun, summer film should be. It’s fast, bloody, chock full of nudity, and does it...

Prom Night (2008)

Nelson McCormick

Prom Night brings unoriginality to new levels, from its premise to its scares; the movie offers no redeeming qualities and proves that once again Hollywood doesn't care about delivering quality remakes. Do yourself a...

Shutter (2008)

Masayuki Ochiai

Not only does the story remain almost exactly the same (with the change from Thailand to Japan), but the scares as well, only somehow modified to be less scary. How the hell did they manage that? Only thing I really liked...

The Crazies (2010)

Breck Eisner

With plot holes and cheap jump scares, The Crazies is far from a perfect film. But as far as sheer entertainment value goes, it hooks you in almost immediately and doesn’t let go until the final, earth shattering explosion...

The Echo (2008)

Yam Laranas

Creepy ghost story with a suspenseful atmosphere. The Echo definitely surpasses the original in every single aspect and it's always nice to be pleasantly surprised. It's all ready out on DVD in several countries so...

The Eye (2008)

David Moreau, Xavier Palud

I didn't care for the characters, the scares didn't work, and I was bored the entire time since I knew exactly what would happen next. If you've seen the original film, then skip this mess.

The Fog (2005)

Rupert Wainwright

A pointless remake that offers zero scares and less Maggie Grace than I would have liked. Stick to the original.

The Howling: Reborn (2011)

Joe Nimziki

Almost entirely void of any actual "horror", The Howling: Reborn is simply an obvious cash-in on a completely different and more youth-oriented franchise all together. With its misplaced obligatory romance scenes,...

The Last House on the Left (2009)

Dennis Iliadis

A surprisingly gritty and realistic look at a revenge tale that doesn't rely specifically on gory deaths to please the audience. Slow-paced and character driven, the film may not appeal to everyone. Worth a check if you...

The Ring (2002)

Gore Verbinski

Good movie that lives up to the original, but in the end I still like the original better. This remake took a slightly different direction with the story and still remains to be creepy and suspenseful. Check this and the...

The Stepfather (2009)

Nelson McCormick

As a remake of a beloved 80s gem, The Stepfather fails. As a standalone thriller meant for no more than entertainment value, The Stepfather fails. As a bloodless, watered down, tween friendly thrill-less thriller with a...

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Marcus Nispel

A good remake, but it fails to top the original, but does top it in some aspects. Worth a check.

The Wicker Man (2006)

Neil LaBute

Even if you throw big names into the cast, in the end you're just remaking one bad movie into another bad movie. Do yourself a favor and skip both versions.

The Woman in Black (2012)

James Watkins

The Woman in Black is essentially the return of the good old fashioned ghost tale, delivering a lot of great atmosphere and loads of really creepy scenes. Unfortunately, there are some pacing issues from time to time and...
