It’s so sad that you have to say that in the beginning of your video. I know that it is your opinion. Just like I say is that I love Freddy’s Dead The Final nightmare. That’s my opinion.
Completely agree on Friday the 13th remake and Amityville Horror. Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George are really good as is the creepy little girl. I actually really enjoy the Friday the 13th franchise even with as stupid as it gets but the remake was actually a good horror movie and easily the best of the lot. So pissed we didn't get a sequel to it. The Jason in that one absolutely dominates and is truly terrifying in his size and relentlessness. While i do agree that the Texas Chainsaw remake is very good and enjoyable, i do still prefer the original by a slight edge. Rewatching that remake, it did totally creep me out that he was walking around with her boyfriend's face on. Other remakes i really like are Evil Dead, It Chapter 1(though i maintain that Tim Curry is still the Pennywise that gives me nightmares), Thirteen Ghosts, The Thing, The Fly, and The Blob. Red Dragon is...ok. Manhunter is so much better, imo. I am also probably the only person on the planet to think this but i vastly prefer Ringu to The Ring. I am not necessarily against American remakes but the original there just created an unnerving mood better to me. Best horror remake, imo, is Let Me In. Matt Reeves has done no wrong as a film director and only appears to improve as he goes. His version of the vampire tale had me interested from the out.
watched the blob remake after watching the original. i found the original to be very boring, having one dimensional characters. when i watched the remake i was taken aback about how GOOD it is, great characters, amazing practical effects, absolutely fun every minute
Cody I dont know if you do anything else besides this Channel but I must say. Theres people saying making videos isnt a "real job" but I have a friend that does UA-cam videos. The amount of HOURS he has to put in is insane. You clearly put a LOT of work in these videos and they are always good and very entertaining. Respect to you for your hard work!
It’s great how Cody is doing Tier Rankings of topics that make a lot more sense in this format than just a regular ranking. It makes for great, engaging content, which is what Cody always delivers.
Unfortunatelythough, he gets a lot of them wrong. He trashes most classics and praises terrible horror movies. I just don’t think he’s a true horror fanatic.
The TCM remake was an insane theater watch. I was tripped out. One of my buddies kept making excuses to get up during the intense scenes. Love this movie.
The way he was so dead on with his review of that movie. I literally was in the theater wanting to leave, hoping at some point the movie would turn a corner but it didn't. Straight trash!
i agree, the only jason mavie that makes him actualy fucking terrifying, other films are literaly comedy that make him some npc zombie, and other people still argue that its not the best movie :D
Cody I just have to say that I’m loving these tier rankings. It gives me something to put on during my lunch break or when I’m doing homework. Keep up the great work!
I also didn't love Evil Dead the first time I saw it but then grew to really enjoy it and have watched it several times! 😅 Prime example of how ads/trailers can absolutely destroy how we first view a film. Thank you for this wicked ranking video Cody, you are the king of horror content for me. 🤘
I think Evil Dead 2013 is a good stand alone film on its own. Having said that, I did not think it was a good remake because I couldn't care less about any of the characters and how stupid they were. Where as, I think The Hills Have Eyes 2006 remake is the best remake period, because I have never cared more about a family in a film then I did watching that film. I also felt that way in both The Night of the Living Dead 1990 and Dawn of the Dead 2004 remakes. Evil Dead had a great opening scene but it was just too much with the excessive gore and blood trying to 1up the original and its sequel. It actually made me sick to watch and I didn't care for the ending or the pointless cameo by Bruce Campbell, he deserved more than what they gave him. When I met him at an evening with Bruce in 2021 with a Q&A session with him and a 4K Theatrical restoration of The Evil dead 1981, he hinted at Evil Dead Rise 2023 and spoke vaguely about it which excited me. I asked him what he thought about the remake and his reply was, "As a producer on the film with Rob and Sam, I can say it made enough money to put my snot nosed kids through college." I take it he was not overwhelmed by the remake.
Another really engaging tier list video...this time I'd seen most of these films so it was fun to rank them. You explain your views on each film very well here and it always makes sense why you put it in that tier...awesome work.
I absolutely love that you gave props to The Dawn of the Dead,House on Haunted Hill,House of Wax, and Thirteen Ghosts!! I am right there with you that I am a firm believer that these are all underrated horror movies. Glad to see someone agrees!
I know this video is 9 months old, but Im so glad F13 2009 is getting the love that it deserves. Derek Mears Jason is honestly terrifying. And the kills are really damn good and I love that we get a final guy instead of a final girl. And I love that the central relationship is between siblings.
I agree, even though I didn't like Evil Dead 2013 as a remake, it still stands on its own a decent horror flick. Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead, The Last House on the Left and My Bloody Valentine are great remakes as well. @@bo2720
Dawn of the Dead 1978 is my favourite horror movie of all time. The remake was an absolute gift to the fans of the original and works better for modern audiences. I have a massive amount of nostalgia for the original as my intro into the zombie sub genre and extreme gore. Great work as usual Cody.
@magicjohnson3121 It's a zombie movie at a mall and that's it. It's a remake in name only but that's okay because copying the original too closely might have been a mistake and often is.
Great video dude 👏, and I was surprised with the huge amount of opinions that we had in common, I feel like about 80 percent of the choices was how I would have put them too.
I really appreciate the categories on this tier list. It’s not a simple “this is better than that” because you can’t always really compare these films that way. Especially for this kind of tier list these categories are fantastic
One thing some people don't really know or remember was that the OG Freddy was originally going to be a kiddy diddler, but because of the real life cases going on at the time, Wes changed it so that the OG Freddy is the child killer we know today. The 2010 reboot possibly went with the original concept instead of doing its own twist on the OG kiddy killer Freddy.

Just discovered your channel last night. The fact that you put Dawn Of The Dead in GOAT I'm subscribing. My buddy and I get together and watch this movie at least once a year. It'll forever be one of the greats
Napel did an amazing job on all the remakes he did. Friday The 13th remake is my favorite Friday movie out of all of them. And I'm an 80's kid who followed Jason's movies from the start.
Great show Cody. I just discovered your channel. Very good stuff. I really like your take on the remakes. I like your points that some of those movies you did not see the originals when it came out so your attachment is more for the remake. I'm older so seeing the originals makes it special for me. Keep up the good work!
Great to see the love for The Uninvited. Defo has rewatch value and not to spoil it in the comments but when the twist/reveal happens and you rewatch it, it’s like “Ahh man, how did I not realise this! Well played!” 😂 My Bloody Valentine 3D is fun too, great cast and the small town setting is on point👌🏾
I’ve never been so caught off guard and scared as the moment Tommy ran thru the laundry in the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre adaptation. I was used to those type of always killers walking. That was an insane moment. That movie and The Hills Have Eyes remake are 2 of my all time favorites! I agree w the Friday the 13th remake.
TCM 03 is the first horror movie I remember watching at the ripe age of 6 lmao it's always been one of my favs because of that. Glad to see others appreciate it as much as I do
I'm happy to see someone else like the Hellraiser remake. When I was little, I had a recurring nightmare that these "things" or "looming presence" were coming for us and we had to lock ourselves in the house and pretty much just sit there and wait for them. The Hellraiser remake was like someone took my dream and adapted it into a movie
I LOVE when you talk about your love for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake & your theater experience for it, because I had the same experience. I remember being a 12/13 yr old girl on a family trip stopping at a random theater and my dad & stepmom were trying to take my younger brother, younger stepbrother and me to see some kids movie called good boy and I begged them to let me watch the Texas chainsaw massacre. I was in the theater alone shitting my pants but when I got out I acted like it didn't scare me half to death cause I begged to see it ha. I'm still obsessed with it to this day one of the best remakes/ horror movies in general ❤
I wish you got a better watch of The Ring. Truly one of the scariest films I’ve ever seen, and one of the few that have ever made me scared. It left a serious impact on me, and the visual aspect to it will make you depressed. It ends on a note that is so incredibly wild and sad. One of my favorite horror films and one of my most underrated.
My favorite horror remake is Evil Dead 2013 by far. Super intense in gore and really scary. Worst is of course Leprechaun origins. Not even a Leprechaun
The following movies I thought were pretty good and nerve breaking: 1. The Last House on the Left 4:00 2. Halloween 33:44 3. Carrie 49:22 4. A Nightmare on Elm Street 50:37 You can see these movies in AMC+ for $7 or in AMC FearFest in October.
When I was 11ish I watched Mirrors, and the image of that woman's jaw getting ripped off kept me up. It was the most traumatic movie that I had ever watched as a child lol
I remember when the Friday remake came out, I was going through a horror movie phase and catching up on some of the franchises I was terrified of as a kid. I finally went through the Ft13th movies and when I finally gave the remake a go I was honestly really impressed with it. Taking the first three movies and condensing them into a modern day telling of the Crystal lake killer worked really well and fleshing out Jason and giving the audience explanations on how he's able to get around the camp grounds was a clever idea gave us something new while being faithful to the original. I really liked this one! ... I also kind of blame it for setting my expectations to high for the Nightmare on elm street remake... The nightmare series, next to Chucky, was my favorite horror franchise when I was a teen. It was a free canvas to let the creators go wild and let their twisted imaginations go wild. ... And they did NOTHING WITH IT! I loved seeing a serious Freddy again, the kills were either pale cgi imatations of the originals or just boring. On top of that, the heavy implications of Freddy... Doing things to his victims and toying with the audience if he was guilty or not was a horrible decision. Save for the micronap concept and (imo) a good redesign and casting for Freddy, this was absolutely disappointing. Oh, and then there's Child's Play 2019.... I liked it. Chucky is my favorite horror villain and I thought this was an interesting modern day spin on the character without stepping on the toes of the original series. They don't create Charles Lee Ray, they don't recreate a 6 year old with tricked by a possessed doll, they don't recreate a mother trying to save her son from a vengeful spirit, they set out to do their own thing yet it gets piled on. Meanwhile, M3gan comes along with the same idea minus the blood and gore and it's a run away success. That's just how it goes, I guess.
Your arguments about the nightmare remake make absolutely no sense lol. So, they did nothing with it, but you liked the new additions of the micro naps and hated the new backstory? Y'ou're okay with Freddy being a child murderer but him doing things before he murders them is where you draw the line? Like are y'all listening to yourselves when saying that? (and i specifically mean all of you cause almost everyone has this complaint) You wanted to root for a child killer, and the filmmaker reminded you that it's not normal or sane to do that, and instead people criticised him for it lmao and that's why y'all will never get another Nightmare movie, because people want to root for him and realistically the studios would get into too much trouble nowadays if they made the audience root for an actual child murderer lmao....
@@zaldigr863 I was just trying to be a smart ass! But if you want a more articulate retort.... The difference is that a child KILLER is a pretty typical slasher trope. Part of the reason people like 80's slashers is that it's fun to sometimes "cheer" for the villain. Although child murder is obviously an unforgivable act, in the original franchise all of the pedophile stuff was subtext. Plus, eventually Freddy was presented in a "cool" way that made him a pop culture icon! Most slasher villains kill teenagers, children are just one step up in depravity. No child is ever SEEN being murdered in the original franchise, so it's really just an extension on a trope that fans are used to. It's impossible to "cheer" for Freddy when the remake puts the fact that he has sex with CHILDREN front and center! My sincere apologies if my first reply bothered you. There's a much better one that proves that I can get a little long winded sometimes, too!
Been binging a lot of your videos while I work over night and it’s kinda funny how many of these movies I’ve actually seen but just never knew the name and stuff and that’s like a highlight of a lot of your videos for me😂
This was such a fun tier list. I really need to see the re-make of "The Blob" again. I really liked it when I saw it as a kid and I especially remember seeing the trailer for it and being so psyched to see it. And I don't know why more people don't talk about it.
Also the fact that Zach played “Down with the sickness” at the end of Dawn of the dead made the most sense was absolutely EPIC…..still get chills thinking about it
I'm going to defend the use of CGI in the IT remakes. It gives Pennywise an uncanny feeling almost like a "this thing should not exist in this world," but here it is right in front of you.
No way.. A CGI clown doing stupid shit is not scary. Tim Curry just turning his face from a smile to evil looking was far scarier than anything Skarsgaard did. I enjoyed the Chapter 1 remake but Pennywise was the worst thing in it.
@@Ian_Synnott just an L take. First off people who don't get scared just don't get scared. Based on an objective opinion the remake is 10 x scarier when the Clown has shark teeth. The old version just looks goofy and would cause more laughter than fear.
That’s the problem it gives it an uncanny feeling and 7/10 times it feels so unrealistic to where it throws you out. You’re supposed to be able to suspend your disbelief and believe what you’re watching could be real.
@@Ian_SynnottI’m on the other end of the stick. I found Skarsgaard Pennywise more scarier than Tim’s. If anything Tim’s Pennywise took me out of the movie. I remember watching it and everytime he talked or tried being scary just made me cringe and think “how did peoplee find this terrifying”. I objectively hated that film and I watched it before I watched the remake, if memory serves I watched it before the remake was even announced. But yes the cgi in the remakes of IT where not great. Do I think it’s the worst thing? God no, not when they decided to do a prequel of The Thing and use CGI for The Thing. Off tangent but my biggest gripe for The Thing prequel is easily the part in the helicopter. The CGI was at its worst their and it was so atrocious.
I don’t understand the hate of the 2009 Friday. I enjoyed every part of it and thought they did a great job of taking that classic into the new generation. It gave some explanation on how Jason travels so fas as well
Absolutely terrible screenplay / dialogue is why many hate it, along with the fact it's not scary at all, has split second flashes of CGI gore and ugly cinematography.
I know your movie tastes so well, I guessed your rankings correctly 95% of the time. I was wrong about The Blob because I thought you saw the original.
Always love your videos Cody. Just curious, how come you don't review any Asian horror? It's such a big sub-genre nowadays and it would be great to hear your thoughts on some of its classics.
I would also add Funny Games and put it in Better than the original, i just prefer it...i think as a movie it's very effective and disturbing, it's frustrating and you just know the director is toying with us as viewers, like the original as it''s pretty much shot for shot but in English.. It just goes there and has the balls to do it.. It has my high respect.
@@CodyLeachYT I think you might’ve mentioned like Dylan McDermott? I get him and Dermot Mulroney mixed up with their similar ass names and the fact that they too have also done horror.
You know that Wes Craven wanted to make Freddy a child molester, but the studio intervened and killed the idea. They saw it as too controversial and risky. They just restored it for the remake to pay tribute to the original idea. Doesn’t make the remake any better. But it’s interesting to know.
@@reiterated They always hinted at something more dark and sinister in a lot of the sequels. But it always were undertones and very clever placed short hints in the dialogue. Until the remake came along.
I'm sad you didn't enjoyed The Ring :( It's probably my favorite horror movie of all time! The original is equally good but it gets a bit confusing, the remake is much more straightforward. However the original had a better Samara (or Sadako, her original name).
I watched the Texas remake in theaters with a friend. I was so shooken up by the movie that I got into a car accident with a truck on my way home from the theater.
Thank you for ripping into that Pet Sematary remake! Switching the kids had potential, because it completely changes how the third act plays out, but yes, it is weirdly rushed and they do little with it. The ending . . . UGH! It is dark and bleak, sure, but to what end? At the end of the movie, it has nothing to say. How can you make a movie about the horrors of losing your child and being unable to move on . . . and have nothing to say? SPOILER FOR THE ORIGINAL In this one, dad basically succeeds in stopping this, and effectively has to kill gauge himself, which re-traumatizes him, but makes it so much worse than his first death. Unfortunately, he doesn't learn from it, repeats it with his wife, and she comes back and kills him. He could not let them go . . . he could not realize that "sometimes dead is better" . . . better than being stuck and unable to accept said death. Unfortunately, my wife saw the remake first, and now refuses to watch the original, and I understand why. They have done legitimate harm to the original.
F13 2010 remake is highly underrated. The way jason adapted to living in the woods. Having traps and alarms that let him know where someone was was amd having tunnels that I guess explained how he got around so fast was nice detail. That scene with him pissed and running was also very awesome. Kills were cool. Characters eventhough they were the some stereotype they were alright. The opening scene before the title was really cool and it combined the best parts of the first few movies into 1. Wish we got a sequel to it. The dude that played jason was a beast aswell
This video gets an immediate like for putting the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre at #1 GOAT. I have been saying it for 20 years since I saw it in theaters that it is one of the greatest horror movies and easily the greatest remake ever made. I think it's 10X better than the original and the film is an absolute step up in every way. The cast and acting is phenomenal, the settings are drenched in pure dread and suspense and R. Lee Ermey as the Sheriff is the cherry on the cake. He is absolutely phenomenal and truly terrifying. The gun scene with him and Morgan in the van is one of the greatest and most tense horror movie scenes ever created. This movie is a instant classic and will always be endlessly rewatchable.
Great tier list man. I agree with you on alot of these. Here are a few films that you missed and would have loved your opinion of where they would rank: -2021 Candyman -2021 slumber party massacre -2004 the grudge -2014 Leprechaun origins -2010 the wolfman -2000 hollow man/2020 invisible man -2019 Critters attack Some of these may be considered reboots but really i cant really see a difference especially when a reboot ignores previous movies or the orginal movie entirely. I would also love to see (if you havent yet) a tier list of franchises that could use a remake or reboot. There are a bunch of franchises in the horror genre that could use a reboot or remake to revitalize the franchise. Also there are a bunch of franchises that are perfect and are still beloved that could be ruined with a remake or reboot. Would love to watch that!
The SA scene in Last House on the Left is hard to watch. I honestly tend to skip over it, but only because I just don't like seeing that stuff. When I was an edgy teenager it didn't bother me, but these days... not so much. But I absolutely love the rest of the movie and really liked how in this version the daughter actually survives unlike the original.
Some remakes that I actually like (a real rarity) are The Thing (1982), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Nosferatu the Vampire (the Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski version from 1979), The Blob (1988), Cat People (1982), and Scarface (1983). THOSE, however, are OLDER ones, having nothing to do with this $h!tty current Hollywood remake trend, which I pretty well detest.
Omg! Yes about the 13 Ghosts mini series! My sister and I always wanted to see the backstory, and how they were captured! We also wanted to see each of the “symbols” and backstories of the “monsters” in Cabin in the Woods!
Great list! Had to check the comments to see how many people (in your placing of Evil Dead) said "They're not called Cenebites, they're called Deadites!" ;D
I love how Maniac films are totally different experiences. The POV one always made it super uncomfortable to watch but a good film to watch. I will say this … the original had THE BEST headshot scene in cinema history to me.
I’m happy to hear that you mentioned 1978’s Invasion Of The Body Snatchers directed by Phillip Kaufman because that movie is bone chilling, terrifying, and creepy but in a very classic and artsy kind of way that automatically earns its place in the GOAT of all the horror remakes in my honest and personal opinion. The 2019 Child’s Play reboot/remake was a pleasant surprise for me personally because of the meta satire and the fact that i have been a Chucky fan since age 10 when i saw Child’s Play 3 for the first time on network television in the mid 90’s. I hate the Rob Zombie Halloween movies because it all feels like a sort of betrayal to John Carpenter’s characters, stories, and vision from the 1978 original Halloween but hey that’s just how i feel about RZ and his H-Ween films regardless of whomever agrees or disagrees with me. Call me crazy but i agree with you about the TCM remake from 2003. It’s intense, intimidating, and horrifying in certain sections of the movie and to this day when i still think about it I’m curious about how they did it all and made it work, damn it all they pulled it off despite their struggles, budget, and best efforts. The Fly (1986) is easily one of the greatest horror remakes of all time and it’s not necessarily because of Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis but it’s really because of the Oscar Winning makeup and the score from Howard Shore of Silence Of The Lambs and a few other films that he composed and conducted that really sell it for me plus David Cronenberg it’s his best movie since The Dead Zone in my opinion. John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) is easily one of my all time favorite horror remakes after DOTD and The Fly so it’s definitely within my top 5 along with the TCM 2003 remake and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. That’s really all i have to say about the HR’s amongst this ranking list. Thank you so much for your time Cody and I’m always eager and anticipating your ranking list videos because i genuinely cherish, value, and respect your thoughts and opinions about these movies. Thanks again Cody, take care of yourself, and have a great day! 😀😃👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻
Memory might serve me wrong but it was rare for anything attributed to a horror film in the 80's being nominated for an Oscar so I very much doubt if Jeff Goldblum was nominated. Edit...He did win a Saturn award for best actor though
I always enjoyed the reveal of Jason’s face in all the movies and the retelling movie, the opportunity was missed as you really didn’t see his face and at the end when you see the mask float to the bottom of the lake,,,I thought”this is it” and Jason jumps up through the dock still wearing the mask.Glad he had the time under water to put the mask back on…lol!
I was holding my breath with what you were gonna say about Dawn of the Dead... one of the few movies I didn't know your opinion about. So relieved lol. Some original Dawn of the Dead fans will not accept that you can love both movies, but the remake is just a practically flawless horror movie. Wish they could have continued this with the Day of the Dead remake. Can't wait to see what you're gonna say about Night of the Living Dead up next lol
Loved hearing your thoughts on The Hitcher (original). The original was the first horror movie I ever saw (not by choice…older cousins rented it lol). Rutger Hauer gave kid me nightmares for weeks. I appreciate it even more each time I watch it.
What’s weird about Fright Night is that the 2013 movie Fright Night 2: New Blood is basically another telling of the same story but with a sequels title

It’s so sad that you have to say that in the beginning of your video. I know that it is your opinion. Just like I say is that I love Freddy’s Dead The Final nightmare. That’s my opinion.
Completely agree on Friday the 13th remake and Amityville Horror. Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George are really good as is the creepy little girl. I actually really enjoy the Friday the 13th franchise even with as stupid as it gets but the remake was actually a good horror movie and easily the best of the lot.

While i do agree that the Texas Chainsaw remake is very good and enjoyable, i do still prefer the original by a slight edge.

Other remakes i really like are Evil Dead, It Chapter 1(though i maintain that Tim Curry is still the Pennywise that gives me nightmares), Thirteen Ghosts, The Thing, The Fly, and The Blob. Red Dragon is...ok. Manhunter is so much better, imo. I am also probably the only person on the planet to think this but i vastly prefer Ringu to The Ring. I am not necessarily against American remakes but the original there just created an unnerving mood better to me.
Best horror remake, imo, is Let Me In. Matt Reeves has done no wrong as a film director and only appears to improve as he goes. His version of the vampire tale had me interested from the out.
@@samuelpagan1538Welcome to the internet
Wait I’m confuse you said the thing but didn’t they remade it recently you showed the thing from the 80s
And not the 2011 one
The Thing, The Fly and The Blob are like the 80s trifecta of perfect horror remakes with awesome practical gore.
A step down from that is Invaders From Mars, but it's still fun
Absolutely!
All three were GOAT status for me

I think Evil Dead 2013 is a good stand alone film on its own. Having said that, I did not think it was a good remake because I couldn't care less about any of the characters and how stupid they were. Where as, I think The Hills Have Eyes 2006 remake is the best remake period, because I have never cared more about a family in a film then I did watching that film. I also felt that way in both The Night of the Living Dead 1990 and Dawn of the Dead 2004 remakes. Evil Dead had a great opening scene but it was just too much with the excessive gore and blood trying to 1up the original and its sequel. It actually made me sick to watch and I didn't care for the ending or the pointless cameo by Bruce Campbell, he deserved more than what they gave him. When I met him at an evening with Bruce in 2021 with a Q&A session with him and a 4K Theatrical restoration of The Evil dead 1981, he hinted at Evil Dead Rise 2023 and spoke vaguely about it which excited me. I asked him what he thought about the remake and his reply was, "As a producer on the film with Rob and Sam, I can say it made enough money to put my snot nosed kids through college." I take it he was not overwhelmed by the remake.
As a massive Vincent Price fan, I would definitely recommend House on Haunted Hill and House of Wax; they are two very fun 50s horror films.
The Last Man on Earth isn't bad either, and it's been remade at least twice
@@dustywaynemusic6297 i enjoyed the hell out of The Last Woman on Earth as well
And the original 'The Fly' with Price as the brother! Love that one!
It's no where near as good but I liked the remake of house of wax
House of wax is fucking iconic.
Cody I like this long form style with you going into detail on each film. Good stuff dude!
I love watching your videos when i'm taking a break from studying, thanks for uploading
Another really engaging tier list video...this time I'd seen most of these films so it was fun to rank them. You explain your views on each film very well here and it always makes sense why you put it in that tier...awesome work.
Nice work Cody, keeping up the trend of giving us rankings we didn’t know we needed
We knew we needed this one that's why we kept asking for it
I absolutely love that you gave props to The Dawn of the Dead,House on Haunted Hill,House of Wax, and Thirteen Ghosts!! I am right there with you that I am a firm believer that these are all underrated horror movies. Glad to see someone agrees!
But have you see the originals of those?
@@GarrettWiseman the only one I haven't seen the original is Thirteen ghosts
I just know this is gonna be a fire vid like every single Cody leach video
The man doesn't miss
2000s horror tier list sounds great!!
I know this video is 9 months old, but Im so glad F13 2009 is getting the love that it deserves. Derek Mears Jason is honestly terrifying. And the kills are really damn good and I love that we get a final guy instead of a final girl. And I love that the central relationship is between siblings.
I’m glad to see Evil Dead get the love and respect it deserves. Fede Alvarez absolutely crushed it
Texas Chainsaw, Hills Have Eyes, and Evil Dead are some the best horror films, and have the best remakes in my opinion
Let's hope he does it again with the new alien movie
I had a fun experience watching it in theaters and it's one of my favorite remakes.
I agree, even though I didn't like Evil Dead 2013 as a remake, it still stands on its own a decent horror flick. Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead, The Last House on the Left and My Bloody Valentine are great remakes as well. @@bo2720
@bo2720 personally I'd include Friday the 13th in that
I use to say Jason didn't run but then I went back and watched part 2 and saw him running in the woods
Dawn of the Dead 1978 is my favourite horror movie of all time. The remake was an absolute gift to the fans of the original and works better for modern audiences. I have a massive amount of nostalgia for the original as my intro into the zombie sub genre and extreme gore. Great work as usual Cody.
well said
The remake is just about a completely different movie.
@magicjohnson3121 It's a zombie movie at a mall and that's it. It's a remake in name only but that's okay because copying the original too closely might have been a mistake and often is.
Damn these tier levels are some of the best I’ve seen so far in any level, very specific
It's always a pleasant day when Cody uploads a new video!
The kill in the remake of a Nightmare on Elm Street at the beginning where he slits his own throat (or should I say carves) was brutal
unfortunately that opening scene was the best part of that turd of a movie by a damn sight.
I agree 100% about the TCM remake! It messed me up the first time I saw it. I still randomly think about "the face scene" to this day!
Great video dude 👏, and I was surprised with the huge amount of opinions that we had in common, I feel like about 80 percent of the choices was how I would have put them too.
Cody why do you keep blessing us with these S tier videos 😂
Man, that Paris Hilton joke caught me way off guard🤣🤣 I don't know what was more savage, her death scene, or your joke!
I 100% agree with everything you said about the TCM remake. This movie scared the ### out of me when I saw it in theatres!
I really appreciate the categories on this tier list. It’s not a simple “this is better than that” because you can’t always really compare these films that way. Especially for this kind of tier list these categories are fantastic
100% agree with your opinion on Thirteen Ghosts. I absolutely love everything about that movie. It’s very underrated and overlooked in my opinion.
One thing some people don't really know or remember was that the OG Freddy was originally going to be a kiddy diddler, but because of the real life cases going on at the time, Wes changed it so that the OG Freddy is the child killer we know today. The 2010 reboot possibly went with the original concept instead of doing its own twist on the OG kiddy killer Freddy.
Hell yeah. Been wanting this tier list for a while.

Friday the 13th, The Thing, Evil Dead and Texas chainsaw will always be the best horror remakes. Child’s play is an underrated remake.
I agree, with exception to Child's Play.
I always say that if Child's Play hadn't been called "Child's Play" and just been it's own thing called Buddi or something I would've loved it. It's really fun
@@dustywaynemusic6297 Yeah, I could get behind that. Different name and a different look.
Exactly. It wasnt a Childs Play remake at all.
Childs play is one of the worst remakes of this decade, Friday the 13th isn't as good as the rest but not that bad
Just discovered your channel last night. The fact that you put Dawn Of The Dead in GOAT I'm subscribing. My buddy and I get together and watch this movie at least once a year. It'll forever be one of the greats
As F13 addict I agree 100% the remake is better than the OG. But still mad you didnt put Jason in Iconic in the other list lol
Napel did an amazing job on all the remakes he did. Friday The 13th remake is my favorite Friday movie out of all of them. And I'm an 80's kid who followed Jason's movies from the start.
Fun fact I went to high school with the kid that played the young boy in the omen remake, hated the movie, but was cool to hear the stories behind it.
Great show Cody. I just discovered your channel. Very good stuff. I really like your take on the remakes. I like your points that some of those movies you did not see the originals when it came out so your attachment is more for the remake. I'm older so seeing the originals makes it special for me. Keep up the good work!
Great to see the love for The Uninvited. Defo has rewatch value and not to spoil it in the comments but when the twist/reveal happens and you rewatch it, it’s like “Ahh man, how did I not realise this! Well played!” 😂
My Bloody Valentine 3D is fun too, great cast and the small town setting is on point👌🏾
I’ve never been so caught off guard and scared as the moment Tommy ran thru the laundry in the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre adaptation. I was used to those type of always killers walking. That was an insane moment. That movie and The Hills Have Eyes remake are 2 of my all time favorites! I agree w the Friday the 13th remake.
TCM 03 is the first horror movie I remember watching at the ripe age of 6 lmao it's always been one of my favs because of that. Glad to see others appreciate it as much as I do
It was my first as well. I was 9 and halfway through I turned it off and woke up my dad and asked if I could sleep in his bed😂😂 I love it now
Lmao ya'll must've had cool parents
I'm happy to see someone else like the Hellraiser remake. When I was little, I had a recurring nightmare that these "things" or "looming presence" were coming for us and we had to lock ourselves in the house and pretty much just sit there and wait for them. The Hellraiser remake was like someone took my dream and adapted it into a movie
It doesn't quite fit in this list, but Little Shop of Horrors (1986) is a great remake of Corman's 1960 version.
I LOVE when you talk about your love for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake & your theater experience for it, because I had the same experience. I remember being a 12/13 yr old girl on a family trip stopping at a random theater and my dad & stepmom were trying to take my younger brother, younger stepbrother and me to see some kids movie called good boy and I begged them to let me watch the Texas chainsaw massacre. I was in the theater alone shitting my pants but when I got out I acted like it didn't scare me half to death cause I begged to see it ha. I'm still obsessed with it to this day one of the best remakes/ horror movies in general ❤
I wish you got a better watch of The Ring. Truly one of the scariest films I’ve ever seen, and one of the few that have ever made me scared. It left a serious impact on me, and the visual aspect to it will make you depressed. It ends on a note that is so incredibly wild and sad. One of my favorite horror films and one of my most underrated.
I was so excited to see this. Your tier rankings are my favorite
My favorite horror remake is Evil Dead 2013 by far. Super intense in gore and really scary. Worst is of course Leprechaun origins. Not even a Leprechaun
I must be one of the rare ones that love the Rob Zombie Halloween series. I love that he made Michael Meyers actually terrifying.
i liked it but I live in a southern state and i like his take on grungy gothic horror
You're not alone brother Ill never understand the hate it gets
The following movies I thought were pretty good and nerve breaking:
1. The Last House on the Left 4:00
2. Halloween 33:44
3. Carrie 49:22
4. A Nightmare on Elm Street 50:37
You can see these movies in AMC+ for $7 or in AMC FearFest in October.
It was great movie bro they be tripping lol
reboot jason was scary as hell
When I was 11ish I watched Mirrors, and the image of that woman's jaw getting ripped off kept me up. It was the most traumatic movie that I had ever watched as a child lol
I remember when the Friday remake came out, I was going through a horror movie phase and catching up on some of the franchises I was terrified of as a kid. I finally went through the Ft13th movies and when I finally gave the remake a go I was honestly really impressed with it. Taking the first three movies and condensing them into a modern day telling of the Crystal lake killer worked really well and fleshing out Jason and giving the audience explanations on how he's able to get around the camp grounds was a clever idea gave us something new while being faithful to the original. I really liked this one!
... I also kind of blame it for setting my expectations to high for the Nightmare on elm street remake...
The nightmare series, next to Chucky, was my favorite horror franchise when I was a teen. It was a free canvas to let the creators go wild and let their twisted imaginations go wild.
... And they did NOTHING WITH IT! I loved seeing a serious Freddy again, the kills were either pale cgi imatations of the originals or just boring. On top of that, the heavy implications of Freddy... Doing things to his victims and toying with the audience if he was guilty or not was a horrible decision. Save for the micronap concept and (imo) a good redesign and casting for Freddy, this was absolutely disappointing.
Oh, and then there's Child's Play 2019.... I liked it. Chucky is my favorite horror villain and I thought this was an interesting modern day spin on the character without stepping on the toes of the original series. They don't create Charles Lee Ray, they don't recreate a 6 year old with tricked by a possessed doll, they don't recreate a mother trying to save her son from a vengeful spirit, they set out to do their own thing yet it gets piled on.
Meanwhile, M3gan comes along with the same idea minus the blood and gore and it's a run away success. That's just how it goes, I guess.
EVERYTHING you said!
Your arguments about the nightmare remake make absolutely no sense lol.
So, they did nothing with it, but you liked the new additions of the micro naps and hated the new backstory? Y'ou're okay with Freddy being a child murderer but him doing things before he murders them is where you draw the line? Like are y'all listening to yourselves when saying that? (and i specifically mean all of you cause almost everyone has this complaint)
You wanted to root for a child killer, and the filmmaker reminded you that it's not normal or sane to do that, and instead people criticised him for it lmao and that's why y'all will never get another Nightmare movie, because people want to root for him and realistically the studios would get into too much trouble nowadays if they made the audience root for an actual child murderer lmao....
@@zaldigr863 Pretty dumb thing for such a long rant.
@@HeelSection3825 it was two paragraphs…
the education system is failing the world..
@@zaldigr863 I was just trying to be a smart ass! But if you want a more articulate retort....
The difference is that a child KILLER is a pretty typical slasher trope. Part of the reason people like 80's slashers is that it's fun to sometimes "cheer" for the villain.
Although child murder is obviously an unforgivable act, in the original franchise all of the pedophile stuff was subtext. Plus, eventually Freddy was presented in a "cool" way that made him a pop culture icon!
Most slasher villains kill teenagers, children are just one step up in depravity. No child is ever SEEN being murdered in the original franchise, so it's really just an extension on a trope that fans are used to.
It's impossible to "cheer" for Freddy when the remake puts the fact that he has sex with CHILDREN front and center!
My sincere apologies if my first reply bothered you. There's a much better one that proves that I can get a little long winded sometimes, too!
Been binging a lot of your videos while I work over night and it’s kinda funny how many of these movies I’ve actually seen but just never knew the name and stuff and that’s like a highlight of a lot of your videos for me😂
6:18 This scene right here is why House on Haunted Hill remake is a classic. It's a scene that sends actual chills.
This was such a fun tier list. I really need to see the re-make of "The Blob" again. I really liked it when I saw it as a kid and I especially remember seeing the trailer for it and being so psyched to see it. And I don't know why more people don't talk about it.
Tier list videos are lots of fun. Hope you come up with more good ideas for them.
Always so happy when you post a new video, you give great suggestions.
Texas chainsaw remake was freaking terrifying for me as well but in a good way. I actually hope to be freaked out and it worked.
Also the fact that Zach played “Down with the sickness” at the end of Dawn of the dead made the most sense was absolutely EPIC…..still get chills thinking about it
I'm going to defend the use of CGI in the IT remakes. It gives Pennywise an uncanny feeling almost like a "this thing should not exist in this world," but here it is right in front of you.
No way.. A CGI clown doing stupid shit is not scary. Tim Curry just turning his face from a smile to evil looking was far scarier than anything Skarsgaard did. I enjoyed the Chapter 1 remake but Pennywise was the worst thing in it.
@@Ian_Synnott just an L take. First off people who don't get scared just don't get scared. Based on an objective opinion the remake is 10 x scarier when the Clown has shark teeth. The old version just looks goofy and would cause more laughter than fear.
@@Dunno683 Wholeheartedly disagree. Tim Curry was a class act in that role. Skarsgaard was boring.
That’s the problem it gives it an uncanny feeling and 7/10 times it feels so unrealistic to where it throws you out. You’re supposed to be able to suspend your disbelief and believe what you’re watching could be real.
@@Ian_SynnottI’m on the other end of the stick. I found Skarsgaard Pennywise more scarier than Tim’s. If anything Tim’s Pennywise took me out of the movie. I remember watching it and everytime he talked or tried being scary just made me cringe and think “how did peoplee find this terrifying”. I objectively hated that film and I watched it before I watched the remake, if memory serves I watched it before the remake was even announced.
But yes the cgi in the remakes of IT where not great. Do I think it’s the worst thing? God no, not when they decided to do a prequel of The Thing and use CGI for The Thing. Off tangent but my biggest gripe for The Thing prequel is easily the part in the helicopter. The CGI was at its worst their and it was so atrocious.
Great list. Didnt expect 13 Ghosts to be #1 but im pleasantly surprised
I adore the 2009 The Stepfather. Underrated imo for sure!
Straight up. That opening scene has always really disturbed me.
Your crazy with the Stepfather remake. Terry O’quinn is awesome
I don’t understand the hate of the 2009 Friday. I enjoyed every part of it and thought they did a great job of taking that classic into the new generation. It gave some explanation on how Jason travels so fas as well
Most of the complaints towards the movie are a bunch of fucking fat sweaty neckbeards because *"It doesn't do the same thing so it's bad, waaahhh!!!"*
Absolutely terrible screenplay / dialogue is why many hate it, along with the fact it's not scary at all, has split second flashes of CGI gore and ugly cinematography.
I started binge watching all your horror videos and realized I didn’t subscribe until today 😅 keep doing what you’re doing bruh! 🤘🏽
I was born in 2000… TCM 2003, Friday the 13th 2009 and Hills Have Eyes 2007…. Classics to me 😂😂😂🍿🍿🍿
I know your movie tastes so well, I guessed your rankings correctly 95% of the time. I was wrong about The Blob because I thought you saw the original.
Always love your videos Cody. Just curious, how come you don't review any Asian horror? It's such a big sub-genre nowadays and it would be great to hear your thoughts on some of its classics.
He doesn't like watching foreign movies
My list and taste in movies is very similar to yours, great tier/ranking video!
I would also add Funny Games and put it in Better than the original, i just prefer it...i think as a movie it's very effective and disturbing, it's frustrating and you just know the director is toying with us as viewers, like the original as it''s pretty much shot for shot but in English.. It just goes there and has the balls to do it.. It has my high respect.
Well, Haneke always wanted it to be set in America.
Great ranking man. I think the dude from The stepfather is Dylan Walsh - I remember him from Congo of all movies 😂
That’s his name. What did I say?
@@CodyLeachYT I think you might’ve mentioned like Dylan McDermott? I get him and Dermot Mulroney mixed up with their similar ass names and the fact that they too have also done horror.
You know that Wes Craven wanted to make Freddy a child molester, but the studio intervened and killed the idea. They saw it as too controversial and risky. They just restored it for the remake to pay tribute to the original idea. Doesn’t make the remake any better. But it’s interesting to know.
It is interesting.
There seem to be hints in some of the sequels, like when the little girl on the trike says, “This is where he takes us.”
@@reiterated They always hinted at something more dark and sinister in a lot of the sequels. But it always were undertones and very clever placed short hints in the dialogue. Until the remake came along.
@@peterludwig4599 And instead of assuming the audience was intelligent enough to figure it out, whacked us right over the head with it.
Awesome tier list Cody keep up the good work 👍
I'm sad you didn't enjoyed The Ring :( It's probably my favorite horror movie of all time! The original is equally good but it gets a bit confusing, the remake is much more straightforward. However the original had a better Samara (or Sadako, her original name).
Cody you’re my go to horror channel we can tell you have so much knowledge on this stuff which is why I watch you 😌💙💙
I watched the Texas remake in theaters with a friend. I was so shooken up by the movie that I got into a car accident with a truck on my way home from the theater.
i feel like for some of these movies, there should be a tier that’s like “what did they even change” like with the omen remake
Thank you for ripping into that Pet Sematary remake! Switching the kids had potential, because it completely changes how the third act plays out, but yes, it is weirdly rushed and they do little with it. The ending . . . UGH! It is dark and bleak, sure, but to what end? At the end of the movie, it has nothing to say. How can you make a movie about the horrors of losing your child and being unable to move on . . . and have nothing to say?
SPOILER FOR THE ORIGINAL
In this one, dad basically succeeds in stopping this, and effectively has to kill gauge himself, which re-traumatizes him, but makes it so much worse than his first death. Unfortunately, he doesn't learn from it, repeats it with his wife, and she comes back and kills him. He could not let them go . . . he could not realize that "sometimes dead is better" . . . better than being stuck and unable to accept said death.
Unfortunately, my wife saw the remake first, and now refuses to watch the original, and I understand why. They have done legitimate harm to the original.
F13 2010 remake is highly underrated. The way jason adapted to living in the woods. Having traps and alarms that let him know where someone was was amd having tunnels that I guess explained how he got around so fast was nice detail. That scene with him pissed and running was also very awesome. Kills were cool. Characters eventhough they were the some stereotype they were alright. The opening scene before the title was really cool and it combined the best parts of the first few movies into 1. Wish we got a sequel to it. The dude that played jason was a beast aswell
This video gets an immediate like for putting the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre at #1 GOAT. I have been saying it for 20 years since I saw it in theaters that it is one of the greatest horror movies and easily the greatest remake ever made. I think it's 10X better than the original and the film is an absolute step up in every way. The cast and acting is phenomenal, the settings are drenched in pure dread and suspense and R. Lee Ermey as the Sheriff is the cherry on the cake. He is absolutely phenomenal and truly terrifying. The gun scene with him and Morgan in the van is one of the greatest and most tense horror movie scenes ever created. This movie is a instant classic and will always be endlessly rewatchable.
Everyone thinks the same about that movie
Great tier list man. I agree with you on alot of these.
Here are a few films that you missed and would have loved your opinion of where they would rank:
-2021 Candyman
-2021 slumber party massacre
-2004 the grudge
-2014 Leprechaun origins
-2010 the wolfman
-2000 hollow man/2020 invisible man
-2019 Critters attack
Some of these may be considered reboots but really i cant really see a difference especially when a reboot ignores previous movies or the orginal movie entirely. I would also love to see (if you havent yet) a tier list of franchises that could use a remake or reboot. There are a bunch of franchises in the horror genre that could use a reboot or remake to revitalize the franchise. Also there are a bunch of franchises that are perfect and are still beloved that could be ruined with a remake or reboot. Would love to watch that!
The SA scene in Last House on the Left is hard to watch. I honestly tend to skip over it, but only because I just don't like seeing that stuff. When I was an edgy teenager it didn't bother me, but these days... not so much. But I absolutely love the rest of the movie and really liked how in this version the daughter actually survives unlike the original.
Spoilers lol
Great job brother & it seemed like this took a lot of time & effort. Good idea trying to create new content. Happy Holidays, Cody.
Some remakes that I actually like (a real rarity) are The Thing (1982), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Nosferatu the Vampire (the Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski version from 1979), The Blob (1988), Cat People (1982), and Scarface (1983). THOSE, however, are OLDER ones, having nothing to do with this $h!tty current Hollywood remake trend, which I pretty well detest.
Omg! Yes about the 13 Ghosts mini series! My sister and I always wanted to see the backstory, and how they were captured! We also wanted to see each of the “symbols” and backstories of the “monsters” in Cabin in the Woods!
WOW MAN. Once again Coppola’s Dracula is NOWHERE on your list. I’m concerned for your mental health
Great list! Had to check the comments to see how many people (in your placing of Evil Dead) said "They're not called Cenebites, they're called Deadites!" ;D
Oh no did i say that? Hahaha Another classic Cody flub. It’s amazing how scrambled your brain gets when you talk for long periods of time.
When Cody shoots he don't miss. Great content as always.
I love how Maniac films are totally different experiences. The POV one always made it super uncomfortable to watch but a good film to watch. I will say this … the original had THE BEST headshot scene in cinema history to me.
I’m happy to hear that you mentioned 1978’s Invasion Of The Body Snatchers directed by Phillip Kaufman because that movie is bone chilling, terrifying, and creepy but in a very classic and artsy kind of way that automatically earns its place in the GOAT of all the horror remakes in my honest and personal opinion. The 2019 Child’s Play reboot/remake was a pleasant surprise for me personally because of the meta satire and the fact that i have been a Chucky fan since age 10 when i saw Child’s Play 3 for the first time on network television in the mid 90’s. I hate the Rob Zombie Halloween movies because it all feels like a sort of betrayal to John Carpenter’s characters, stories, and vision from the 1978 original Halloween but hey that’s just how i feel about RZ and his H-Ween films regardless of whomever agrees or disagrees with me. Call me crazy but i agree with you about the TCM remake from 2003. It’s intense, intimidating, and horrifying in certain sections of the movie and to this day when i still think about it I’m curious about how they did it all and made it work, damn it all they pulled it off despite their struggles, budget, and best efforts. The Fly (1986) is easily one of the greatest horror remakes of all time and it’s not necessarily because of Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis but it’s really because of the Oscar Winning makeup and the score from Howard Shore of Silence Of The Lambs and a few other films that he composed and conducted that really sell it for me plus David Cronenberg it’s his best movie since The Dead Zone in my opinion. John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) is easily one of my all time favorite horror remakes after DOTD and The Fly so it’s definitely within my top 5 along with the TCM 2003 remake and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. That’s really all i have to say about the HR’s amongst this ranking list. Thank you so much for your time Cody and I’m always eager and anticipating your ranking list videos because i genuinely cherish, value, and respect your thoughts and opinions about these movies. Thanks again Cody, take care of yourself, and have a great day! 😀😃👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻
Memory might serve me wrong but it was rare for anything attributed to a horror film in the 80's being nominated for an Oscar so I very much doubt if Jeff Goldblum was nominated.
Edit...He did win a Saturn award for best actor though
I always enjoyed the reveal of Jason’s face in all the movies and the retelling movie, the opportunity was missed as you really didn’t see his face and at the end when you see the mask float to the bottom of the lake,,,I thought”this is it” and Jason jumps up through the dock still wearing the mask.Glad he had the time under water to put the mask back on…lol!
I was holding my breath with what you were gonna say about Dawn of the Dead... one of the few movies I didn't know your opinion about. So relieved lol. Some original Dawn of the Dead fans will not accept that you can love both movies, but the remake is just a practically flawless horror movie. Wish they could have continued this with the Day of the Dead remake. Can't wait to see what you're gonna say about Night of the Living Dead up next lol
Loved hearing your thoughts on The Hitcher (original). The original was the first horror movie I ever saw (not by choice…older cousins rented it lol). Rutger Hauer gave kid me nightmares for weeks. I appreciate it even more each time I watch it.
Great topic for a tier list. Appreciate your videos!
What’s weird about Fright Night is that the 2013 movie Fright Night 2: New Blood is basically another telling of the same story but with a sequels title
Great video! It also would’ve been interesting to see where you’d put “The Faculty” if it had been on this list.
The faculty is a remake??
