    Also, The Blob and Invasion of the Body Snatchers were fine remakes.

    I wouldn't say it wasn't cheeseyish. But it wasn't anything overly different.

    Psycho remake > all Platinum Dunes remakes (I would prefer they just do shot-for-shot remakes rather than just making a generic version of the original) - only thing is the cast is not as good as the original.. especially Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates. But why mess with genius? You can't improve Psycho, except for what Hitchcock couldn't achieve at the time. Like the opening shot going into the hotel room. I wouldn't say it is a 'good' remake, but it is slightly underrated.

    I haven't seen this remake and don't plan to; the idea of a shot-for-shot remake just sounds so lazy to me, like they don't even try. But at the same time, you can't get much lower than Platinum Dunes.

    The only one I disagree with there is TCM. I much prefer the prequel.

    Actually, I could do with seeing 'The Blob' again.

    The '93 version of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' entitled 'Body Snatchers' is really good.

    It's more a "side story", to me, to borrow an anime term. I never really considered it a remake but a story inspired by Invasion, which was inspired by The Puppet Masters. Only the aliens themselves have any connection between the Abel Ferrara movie and the previous two.

    Yeah you're right. It uses the basic premise of the actual aliens but it could only be loosely considered a remake. Although, all four versions are considered adaptations of the novel 'The Body Snatchers'. I've never read it but I think the first two film versions stick closer to it. The fourth version 'The Invasion' (2007) has to be one of the worst films I've ever seen and that's no exaggeration. It's a butchered train wreck.

    The Body Snatchers (1955)

    The Puppet Masters (1951)

    Heinlein's stories have been repeatedly ripped off and riffed off of.

    Well a lot of those remakes.. like Zombie's Halloween, ANOES, TCM, etc do copy shots from the original, while the rest is generic filler. They may as well just make the whole thing shot for shot. I would rather watch the Halloween remake done shot for shot because the new stuff they added was awful. If you're going to change things, at least make it good, like The Fly or The Blob remakes.. I highly doubt anybody could improve upon Psycho, Halloween, ANOES or TCM, though.

    There are very few remakes that can rival (or outdo) the originals, but The Hills Have Eyes surpasses the original on almost all levels. It's more intense, scarier, and the story expands upon that of the original in ways that I wanted it to. It's one of the few remakes that I would ever give 10/10 to. It deserves it.

    I hated the first half of The Hills Have Eyes remake, which felt like it was stolen from the original, but absolutely loved the original material. For me it's a 5/10. IMO the true remake masterpiece is The Fly.
    First Half: 2.5/10
    Second Half: 7.5/10
