Top remakes of the genre anyone?

Honorable mention for me: "Halloween" which worked better after repeated viewings.

I forgot to mention "King Kong" (2005), that was great movie! but i don't think it's horror but more adventure-fantasy. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot was alright but not as good as the first two.

I still thought Zombieween was garbage with a repeat viewings but the theatrical cut is better than the workprint version. That's not saying much because the movie itself cannot be redeemed no matter what cut is it. It's amongst one of the worst horror films I've ever seen. Rob Zombie needs to stick to stuff like House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil's Rejects. Both of those are garbage too but at least they're his own thing & not fucking up an already established franchise.

Where's the love for The Ring, one of the better remakes ever. And Rich Hills Have Eyes came out 2006 not 2004!

[Flyboy]

I don't care much for The Ring or even the movie it's a remake of. Then again, I never was big into J-Horror much to begin with.

[The Dead Walk!]

I'm with Flyboy. I can't stand The Ring, The Grudge, or anything similar. In fact, I think they're all pretty damn terrible.

Have you seen other Japanese horror like Ichi The Killer, Versus, Battle Royale, Riki-Oh, Tokyo Zombie, Tokyo Gore Police, Urotsukidoji and Perfect Blue?

[Flyboy]

I dug Versus but it's been about 6 years since I've seen it. I had the Ultimate Versus DVD for awhile but never got around to watching it.

I haven't seen the others nor do I have any desire to do so.

[harrycanyon]

Ichi The Killer is definitely a must see live-action Manga, it's horrific and funny.

I haven't seen it but I read all about it on i-Mockery.com

It sounds and looks absolutely fucked

[harrycanyon]

Well it's fucked up but it's damn funny as hell as a mix of horror and dark comedy.
