I’ve been saying it for years… The Creature From the Black Lagoon and Gamera! I’d actually like to see remakes of all of these movies on this list though. I think one that you missed was Mimic. It came out in the mid 90s, it was about roaches that grew to man-sized and they looked similar to someone in a black trench coat from a distance.
18 Old Creature Features Movies that Deserve a Modern Remake: 1. Critters (1986) 2. The Blob (1958) 3. Tremors (1990) 4. It's Alive (1974) 5. Relic (1997) 6. The Fly (1958) 7. Deep Rising (1998) 8. Anaconda (1997) 9. Lake Placid (1999) 10. Humanoids from the Deep (1980) 11. Squirm (1976) 12. T.H.E.M. (1954) 13. Virus (1999) 14. Piranha (1978) 15. Leviathan (1989) 16. Gamera The Giant Monster (1965) 17. The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) 18. It Came From Beneath the Sea (1955)
How is the Blob and The Fly on this list when there has already been a re-make? Virus? No, it's pretty terrible and humans being the virus as a story-line has been done a bunch. Anything with excessive sequels, no. THEM got it's own story-line in Fallout. I know you didn't make this list, just provided it for easy access, but seriously.
If they should ever decide to remake "The Relic" please let the new version be more faithful to the sourcematerial! Yeag, the 90s movie was quite fun, but the novel has so much more to offer and it was a shame that they cut most of the plot and the characters in adaptation!
Trying to explain it to my dad when I was 16, the part that stood out was when it climbed the wall to munch on SWAT. "A what, looking like what, did WHAT?!" I'm still looking for a movie that started out aith two astronauts in their ship looking down a ventlike structure, one gets hit in the head or chest by a crystal looking spider creature that reminded me a bit of facehuggers the way it leaped. No tail though
The movie is a guilty pleasure of mine, but it doesn't even come close to the novel. The book is like a murder mystery set in the NY Museum of National History: nobody knows what's going on, why people are getting killed, and how is this all connected to an expedition that disappeared in the Amazon basin years before. The movie makes it clear pretty soon that there's a monster on the loose. A monster that, while masterfully put together by the Stan Winston Studio, would be more fit for a "Star Wars" movie than anything else. The creature from the novel is smaller, roughly the size of a tiger, and creepier. Also, it doesn't crawl on walls or anything like that. But, yeah, what the movie really missed is the aura of mystery that permeates 2\3 of the book: the producers seemed concerned to hastily get to the last bit in order to make a by-the-numbers creature feature. What a shame. Also, the museum itself should come across as a character: it definitely feels like one in the book. The movie doesn't take advantage of it, even though there's hardly a creepier place to be in than a natural history museum at night: rows of dimly-lit rooms full of stuffed animals, mummies, skeletons, and tribal masks. You sort of expect for something to suddenly jump at you from the displays. It was a huge missed opportunity.
Critters had me so shook when i was little. I was scared to look out the kitchen window for a long time. The Kathooga was/is one of the most unique creature designs ever.The Relic should definitely get a remake. Deep Rising was a good one.
The problem with re-doing The Creature From the Black Lagoon is that we don't have the same sense of exotica, mystery and wonder about unexplored places on Earth, when its seemed more possible that monsters might really exist. We live in more worldly times today. When I was young, The Creature From the Black Lagoon was probably my favourite Universal monster, although of course I loved them all :)
People believing themselves to be more worldly is a delusion: there's so much we don't know. Every once in a while, a new species is discovered. And there are entire areas on our planet that are simply not mapped and have only been observed from space: one of them happens to be the Amazon forest (where Creature from the Black Lagoon takes place). The Vale do Javari in Brazil (part of the Amazon) is completely unexplored to this day. Also, the same "wordly people" believe most fake news they come across online, deny that the Earth is round, belittle scientific facts and are becoming increasingly superstitious by the minute (check social media: the amount of people who truly believe in magic and witchcraft and that goblins\elves\whatever visit their homes is staggering). In short, yeah: a modern version of Creature from the Black Lagoon would work. Worst case scenario, some blogger would talk ill about it because "we are so worldly now, we know everything".
The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) & it's follow-ups "Revenge Of The Creature" (1955) & "The Creature Walks Among Us"(1956) were packaged as a trilogy. I own them. I agree with you, it doesn't need a re-do.
Deep rising could use a modern remake because of multiple delays. The fact it was released a few weeks after titanic, and some of the cgi not aging well, the movie deserves a second chance to correct itself with a remake
Prophecy, from 79, with Talia Shire was a pretty good one. Grizzly of course, Day of the Animals, Slugs, She Creature, which was only OK but had a phenomenal monster, Deepstar Six, forget it, I'll be here all day. Definitely wouldn't mind a part 2!
0:49 Critters 1986. 3:14 The Blob 1958. 4:47 Tremors 1990. 5:44 It's Alive 1974. 7:08 The Relic 1997. 7:49 The Fly 1958. 9:15 Deep Rising 1998. 10:13 Anaconda 1997. 11:12 Lake Placid 1999. 12:24 Humanoids From The Deep 1980. 13:40 Squirm 1976. 14:27 Them 1954. 15:22 Virus 1999. 16:21 Piranha 1978. 17:09 Leviathan 1989. 18:05 Gamera The Giant Monster 1965. 19:14 The Creature From The Black Lagoon 1954. 19:50 It Came From Beneath The Sea 1955.
None of these need a remake. They would all be cg, they would all be attached to terrible scripts with people who cant direct to save their life. They need to stay where they are at, amazing for what we got.
I for one like the 1958 version of the blob more than the remake. It was less gory, more easy to watch, and it didn't have the Blob show its food while digesting.
They need to make a remake or sequel to the 97' Sci-fi/ Horror The Event Horizon it's about a deep space Earth ship that gets sucked into a black hole and emerges into a Hell dimension gets possessed and kills it's entire crew and gets released from that dimension to collect the souls of other crews it encounters in space.
While I would love to see more of the Event Horizon world I it would be quite hard to write a story that adds more without taking away some of the mystique.
Oh, and here’s another movie that should be remade(completely)… Rawhead Rex. Pretty unimpressive movie with a weak story & horrible costume mask, but it could definately be remade with modern makeup artists & effects, and be more inline with the actual book.
I don't think you always need to make remakes of something. Why can't Hollywood Riders be original for once and recreate new creatures new stories instead of trying to recreate or remake old ones and change them all around and Destroy them I still enjoy watching the old ones because it took talent to make that stuff not a damn computer
Rather than more remakes (quite likely to be of questionable quality and acting as either cynical cash grabs trading on nostalgia for the original, or as platforms for some ideologue's desire to 'correct' what they see as historical injustices) in a market already saturated with them, wouldn't Hollywood be better off making the effort to invest in some actually original IPs? Giving opportunities to new creative voices and maybe even making the movies of today that will be seen as the classics of the future?
3. Tremors (1990) has had 6 movies follow it. The latest was "Tremors: Shrieker Island" aka "Tremors 7" which was released on Oct 20, 2020. Do your homework! 🙄 And what else can it morph into? /s They need to end this. 🙄
I heartily disagree.. these films need recognition for what they were. But we need new original stories being told not just endless remakes,reboots or reimagining of old IP'S..thats the second biggest (but longest existing problem) with hollywierd, the biggest issue is the sheer volume of woke BS that has been passed off as "entertainment" over the last 8 years or so.
They don’t need a remake, they need recognition!
I watch Lake Placid for the Betty White scenes. That woman is a treasure.
Really. The mouth on her. 😆
Critters was really underrated. The first was especially great.

Definitely needs to have Pendergast!!
and enough about the Hypothalamus, I lost track on how many times it is mentioned
Maybe it should be more of a Streaming series to give it the time to flesh everything that the original couldn't do.

Deep Rising was a good one.
It's Alive scared me for weeks after watching it as a kid, it was more about what you didn't see and your imagination running away with itself.
It's alive got a remake but it sucked ass.
@ethandowdle88 99% of all these remakes do, I tend to not bother with them unless they've got solid reviews.

Idk man it still.scares me, I live on a lake and I just like to think abkut tbat stuff really late at night
It could be a period piece, taking place in the original's time period.
@@rosssnyder4490 It would need to be, but it won't have the same impact because audiences are more worldly.

The creators of this video never saw Critters. The kid didn't invent explosives, he bought fireworks.
Could it be they meant that as an adjective and not literally. Either way, confusing phrasing indeed.
Can't leave out Gremlins
CGI is good when it assists the practical effects teams rather than replacing it.
They need to reboot, Screamers.
Missed Levathian's other similar movie rival Deep Star Six
Tremors absolutely does not need a reboot. You shouldn't mess with perfection. 😉
True.
The Alligator People needs a remake.
A creature Feature featuring the creature
Not as scary as evil Larry
I have always felt "It Lives!" was a backdoor intro to mutants.
The it's Alive babies used to have me my siblings and cousins, all scared to walk down the hall at night by ourselves lol 💯💯😅😄😄😁
THEM does not need a remake! It just needs someone to put green, blue, or purple wigs on the ants, then re-release it under the title of THEY/THEM!
None of these need a remake. They would all be cg, they would all be attached to terrible scripts with people who cant direct to save their life. They need to stay where they are at, amazing for what we got.
I for one like the 1958 version of the blob more than the remake. It was less gory, more easy to watch, and it didn't have the Blob show its food while digesting.
Tremors does not need a remake. It needs a good modern sequel.
i like to see The Beast From 20'000 Fathoms (1953), The Deadly Mantis (1957), The Black Scorpion (1957), Matango, Reptilicus and Gorgo get remakes
When I watched the 80s remake of the Blob I couldn't help saying HE GOT BLOBBED whenever the Blob grabbed on to someone.
The Relic was good and it's one of my favorite monster movies.
Remakes: the last refuge of an industry out of original ideas.
Most of these would be remakes of remakes- a copy of a copy of a copy…
Just like what Disney is doing right now.
They need to make a remake or sequel to the 97' Sci-fi/ Horror The Event Horizon it's about a deep space Earth ship that gets sucked into a black hole and emerges into a Hell dimension gets possessed and kills it's entire crew and gets released from that dimension to collect the souls of other crews it encounters in space.
While I would love to see more of the Event Horizon world I it would be quite hard to write a story that adds more without taking away some of the mystique.
@Virtualblueart How when they do it all the time?
Oh, and here’s another movie that should be remade(completely)… Rawhead Rex. Pretty unimpressive movie with a weak story & horrible costume mask, but it could definately be remade with modern makeup artists & effects, and be more inline with the actual book.
Ahh. THEM!!. A movie about giant ants. That in Sweden was called. "THE SPIDERS!"
I would like to a remake of TARANTULA, EMPIRE OF THE ANTS, FROGS, FOOD OF THE GODS.
No leave them alone as they are, all Hollyweird will do is screw it up with bad acting.
We do NOT need more remakes with bad CGI
Doppelganger:The Evil Within and Little Witches should to be reboot.
I like the original fly, the fly remake, and the fly 2.
Critters apparently did get remade and became "Critters Attack", which wasnt very good. And the lead actress in that needed acting lessons.
Tremores if done right can be a great film.
I don't think you always need to make remakes of something. Why can't Hollywood Riders be original for once and recreate new creatures new stories instead of trying to recreate or remake old ones and change them all around and Destroy them I still enjoy watching the old ones because it took talent to make that stuff not a damn computer
Not a remake, but I would like to see a sequel to Gorgo (1961). Or in a crossover/verses movie.
Why is Deepstar 7 not a thing yet?
Practical effects is what makes creature movies work. CGI ruined the genre.
I hear what you're saying. Just like how CGI ruined 2D hand-drawn animation.
@@dreamguardian8320I love the old Disney animation like Lion King and Aladdin just before they changed it .
I used to rent all the critters movie's from blockbuster.i love in part 3 i think they make this one huge critter ball.lol
didn't we have Piranha 3D & the Piranha 3DD?
What the hell does The Blob have anything to do with Critters?
Nah, they shouldn't remake Tremors. That would just ruin it.
The AI doesn't know how to pronounce Gamera.
Rather than more remakes (quite likely to be of questionable quality and acting as either cynical cash grabs trading on nostalgia for the original, or as platforms for some ideologue's desire to 'correct' what they see as historical injustices) in a market already saturated with them, wouldn't Hollywood be better off making the effort to invest in some actually original IPs? Giving opportunities to new creative voices and maybe even making the movies of today that will be seen as the classics of the future?
Why can't they pronounce Gamera correctly? Also the humanoids weren’t from outer space so I don’t know why they called it Humanoids of the deep space.
3. Tremors (1990) has had 6 movies follow it. The latest was "Tremors: Shrieker Island" aka "Tremors 7" which was released on Oct 20, 2020. Do your homework! 🙄
And what else can it morph into? /s They need to end this. 🙄
I’d love to see a Virus and Leviathan remake, and also A Sound Of Thunder remake.
Stop mispronouncing Gamera!
CGI will ruin these stories most likely.
You may be right.
We do not need remakes of any of these what we need is new ideas not the same old movies remade over and over again come up with something new
Agreed. Disney should do the same.
With all the woke lunatics this day in age no let the old movies stay as is no modern remakes required.
They would be replaced by CGI crap, so no, don't remake them please, don't ruin them.
I heartily disagree.. these films need recognition for what they were.
But we need new original stories being told not just endless remakes,reboots or reimagining of old IP'S..thats the second biggest (but longest existing problem) with hollywierd, the biggest issue is the sheer volume of woke BS that has been passed off as "entertainment" over the last 8 years or so.
