For sure, that movie was good from beginning to end and really didn't have any dead spots, especially once the terror on the family began. Dawn of The Dead remake is awesome to.
This Dawn of The Dead is phenomenal. I used to have the DVD back when I was a teen and it came with bonus content from Andy’s perspective and the entire news report. Very immersive.
It's insane that one director was responsible for Halloween and The Thing. Two of the greatest horror movies of all time. Carpenter is one of the greatest directors to ever do the job
Fun Fact: Trent from Friday the 13th is also the same character with the same actor in Michael Bay’s first Transformers film. Meaning Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise takes place within the same universe as Friday the 13th (2009).
Guys, this is HIS list of remakes. It is fine to have your favorite remakes in your top 10. If “The Hills Have Eyes” is your top 3 remakes, that’s fine, but Cody has HIS own opinions.
I haven't seen it. It ain't streaming on netflix they only have the 2011 prequel but i want to watch John Carpenter's first. I heard the prequel has too many CGI and apparently Thing 1982 jas some fab practical effects. At the moment FRIDAY THE 13TH and Child's play 2019 which is underrated are my top remakes/reboots.
Great list, Honorable Mentions: The Blob 1988 The Crazies Hills Have Eyes Child's Play Let Me In 10. Fright Night 9. Friday the 13th 8. It 7. Last House on the Left 6. The Amityville Horror 5. The Fly 1986 4. Evil Dead 3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Dawn of the Dead 1. The Thing
finally, someone else shows some much needed love for the The Blob remake! absolutely ~adore~ that movie... im really surprized it didn't at all make Cody's list...
I completely forgot The Thing was a remake and everybody in the comments are saying “who else knew what #1 would be?” And I was thinking: definitely not me.
@@andrewpowell1734 Jackie Earle Haley did a great Freddy Krueger though. However the teens on Elm Street should have different names and character development.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the My Bloody Valentine remake, it was one of the first dates I ever went on, opening night in 2009 when I was in 8th grade 😂❤️
The 1979 Nosferatu remake is a masterpiece. It’s definitely high on my list. I’d probably include the Maniac remake and the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Nice to see The Fly getting love. Cronenberg was the shit. Plenty to cover there in the different eras of his career. Even got speared by Jason. Legend.
The Child's Play remake, while better than a couple entries in Mancini's franchise, absolutely pales in comparison to the original 1988 version. A lot of people were definitely unfair to the remake just because they had some weird loyalty to Mancini, whom I contend was never a major source of the franchise's success. I think the remake was a decent film, I enjoyed it, but I dont necessarily have any desire to watch it again. Tom Holland's original version, however, I will watch for years to come. It's a true horror classic and great movie. The remake is just a decent film.
I didn’t hate it, but I definitely didn’t like it! It had some pretty decent kills but it wasn’t a decent movie, sorry (imho) 🤷🏾♀️. I get the whole “introduce to a newer/younger audience” thing as their excuse for every remake, but I didn’t like the “haunted robot” Chucky concept; for me, that made it less horror, too techie. And, idc what anybody says, it was unrealistic for kids at those ages to want or be interested in a doll. I liked that they aged Andy and gave him some friends but maybe they aged him too much! He could’ve been older than in the original movie but still young enough that it’d been more believable! They looked like teens (at least 12-13, maybe older)! I’ve never seen any boys their ages play with dolls; especially one that looks like that! Or maybe their choice in actors wasn’t the best (as far as looks); they could’ve actually been or just looked older than the roles they played. My point is that those teens running around with that doll was beyond unrealistic; it was straight hilarious! 😁😂🤣
I don't give a damn for the argument that the Friday remake characters are annoying.... litetally every single of them except for maybe f4 and f6, are exactly as annoying as the remake ones! ( also think this is a badass underrated remake)
With the exception of part 7, theres only a couple of annoying characters in the first 8 movies. In the remake, the whole cast is annoying, especially Trents group.
@@dabearslive9605 The problem is you want to do something different with a remake, buck the trope a little bit. I like the film and consider Jason to be a great example. He was more human, he chased his victims and he kidnapped a girl. The fact she looked like his mother was a PERFECT reason he'd keep someone alive. But yeah its critics hate the token characters.
The remake does a lot of things right. If you’re going to reboot Friday the 13th, it kinda makes sense to condense the plot of 1 through 3 because today’s audiences don’t want to wait years to see the iconic hockey masked Jason that everyone is paying to see. It didn’t try to make the franchise something it wasn’t like the found footage idea that was floating around for a while, and it just embraced what the franchise was. The big problems for me are that the intro is way too long and I didn’t care for the cinematography (they kinda overdid the blue filter at night and the orange filter during the day, and it just looked too Hollywood). It’s basically just an average movie in the series. Jason Goes To Hell is the lowest point you can possibly go in this franchise. My personal favorites are Part 6 and Part 2.
Can you please do a top 10 worst remakes because that would be so interesting. I just can't get enough of your videos, I really love your channel and it would be a dream to meet you. Keep doing great work cody. 😁
I would put that on my worst list,but not very high because I still get a little bit of enjoyment with Freddy and Kris but overall yeah it is pretty bad🤣🤣
Killer Kool list, Code Man! I tried compiling a horror remake list recently and had to stop at 30! HaHaHa!

I'm a massive David Tennant fan anyway, and he outdid himself in the Fright Night remake. I can't look at pink lemonade without saying to myself "Do you want a Shirley Temple?" The bit with the leather pants still cracks me up too. That man can play anything.

Thank you so much for making this video. Thanks to your positive review of the Fright Night remake, I checked out the original and it’s now one of my favourite horror movies. If I hadn’t seen this video, I would never have even thought to give Fright Night, or even the vampire genre in general, a go. Honestly can’t thank you enough!
What no Black Christmas 2019 as Number 1?, Cody I'm shocked LOL. Great video Cody, I forgot a few of these but I agree John Carpenters: The Thing is rightfully at number 1 & still one of my all time favourite horror films.
Yeah people hate rob zombie for his two remakes but I think they were pretty good. All he needed to do was tone down the grittiness of Michael's family in Halloween and that movie is amazing. In H2 he should have made Loomis less of a douche bag,but the direction he took with Loomis was cool because it gave us more of a modern version of a figure looking for fame.
Yeah Jaelen that’s true. I don’t like how much sex dialogue is in the movie. Mainly cause I’d love to watch it with my daughter cause it’s a great movie. She’s 14 but I have a problem with watching it with my kid, kinda awkward
10. Childs Play (2019) 9. The Fly (1986) 8. Prom Night (2008) 7. Carrie (2013) 6. The Hills Have Eyes (2006) 5. The Evil Dead (2013) 4. It (2017) 3. The Thing (1982) 2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) 1. Friday the 13th (2009)
I love that Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead made this list. It's a nice little gem that has action, good characters with arcs and claustrophobia. It's a shame this movie does not have many more appreciative reviews on UA-cam.
TCM 2003 was one of my first horror movies. I was 3 when it came out and had no idea when I first saw it. So by default it's on the top of my list. 1999 The Mummy for sure is up their on my list, as well as Hills Have Eyes. Also Thirteen Ghosts. Horror of Dracula 1955 Christopher Lee. House of Wax 50s and 00s.
Wow. I've been a true horror film aficionado for over thirty years, and I didn't even know that "The Crazies" was even a remake. Guess you learn something new everyday.
First off I LOVE your t-shirt! Second for the longest time the only good Texas Chainsaw movie was the original, all the sequels were crap. Then the remake came along and damn did it blow even the original movie out of the water.
Honestly, I kinda like the whole huntsman Jason thing. Someone who needs to survive in the wilderness would be naturally inclined to know such things, and he'd definitely be a beast physically
Can never argue with one's opinion on things like these, so I enjoyed your list completely. For me though there is one big miss and that would be the 70's version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland. The Maniac remake was also very good. Great list Cody and enjoyed your thoughts as always.
I think it is really cool that the first movie you placed on your list was the first one I thought of when considering a movie that in my head "better be on this list".
Don't think I can pull 10 but Friday the 13th and Rob Zombie's Halloweens all rock and hot take here, but I have a lot of fun with Elm Street, it's not very good, but I like it.
The Thing(1982) The Fly(1986) The Ring(2002) The Texas ChainSaw Massacre(2003) Dawn of The Dead(2004) Evil Dead(2013) Suspiria(2018) Let Me In Invasion of The Body Snatchers Cape Fear(1991) are textbook classic examples of how to craft an excellent remake
@@difference3maker36 well, it kind of is, it’s more of an english version of the japanese version from 1998, as the person above me said. It is a bit different, not sure if i’d consider it a remake or not
I agree with you on basically everything. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite zombie film, The last Friday the 13th is my favorite in the franchise and The Texas Chainsaw on the list is also my favorite. Buuuuuuuut... the new evil dead was good, just not my favorite..
Damn good list -- and I appreciate how you acknowledge the quality of Friday the 13th 2009. One of my personal favorites: Night of the Living Dead 1990 (Tom Savini).
I also think cody should do a top 10 worst horror remakes. I'm sure I can guess his least favorite. 1. Nightmare on elm street, or one of the Carrie's.
My top 10 horror remakes, which may also ruffle feathers: 1, The Thing 2, The Fly 3, The Mummy 4, The Blob 5, Evil Dead 6, Fright Night 7, Friday the 13th 8, My Bloody Valentine 9, The Ring 10, It Chapter 1
The Dawn of the Dead remake is in my top 10 movies ever. I love it. I do wish there was some alternate, wish fulfilling ending where everyone lives, but I can't deny the credits clips with Down With the Sickness is fucking amazing.
You are not alone in feeling that way with both Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th, I love both these movies and for me they are also the best versions, I didn’t grow up watching the originals, I watched the originals after I watched these great remakes and like you said, the originals felt kind of dated imho. I get it, understand it and respect the impact they had at the time they came out and they are excellent movies, but these remakes are the best versions for me too, I love Marcus Nispel as a director, very underrated director, he’s great at creating these dark atmospheres and he is amazing with the visualizing and knows what he wants and what he wants to capture on film, beautiful cinematography, Great list...
Love this list Cody! I agree with all your picks - although I am one of those people who can't stand Trent from the Friday the 13th remake haha God I was waiting the whole movie for him to die...
The fact that a lot of people can't realize that others will have a different opinion than theirs and just respect that. Movies/shows/games/music is all subjective and everyone is going to have their own feelings about it. If we all loved the same things, life would be boring. It's great that everyone has their own likes and dislikes and that there's pretty much something out there for anyone to enjoy. I just wish more people would respect that.
The Grudge and The Ring are also Remakes The Ring is A Remake of A Horror Movie called Ringu based on A Book Called Ring by Koji Suzuki and The Grudge is A Remake of A Horror Movie Series called Ju-on
@@hitmanhatton That doesn't mean that The American Versions aren't also disturbing Movies Kayako Saeki makes that Noise with Her Throat because Her Husband broke Her Windpipe when He Killed Her so that is why She Constantly sounds like She is Throwing Up Or Burping
My favorite remakes are Child's Play and Friday the 13th. I have also grown up with the child's play franchise and found the remake a fresh one at best with the story and the relationship between Andy and Chucky. With Friday the 13th, I like that we get more of Jason at his most badass by far.
Before Watching: Predictions: Child’s Play, Evil Dead, The Thing, Friday the 13th, It, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. After Watching: All but Child’s Play made it onto the lost.
1) Evil Dead 2) My Bloody Valentine 3) The Amityville Horror 4) The Hills Have Eyes 5) The Hills Have Eyes 2 6) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 7) A Nightmare On Elm Street 8) Child’s Play 9) Friday The 13th 10) Halloween
It was the first Child's Play movie I actually watched, and after I finally watched the original, I have to say, I do enjoy the 2019 one more. Not that I DON'T like the original one, I think it's a fun ride over all and Brad Douriff kicks ass as Good Guy Chucky, but when it comes to creepy doll villains, I'm more into the ones that are quiet and calculating rather than shouting ones. So for MY personal preference, I enjoyed Mark Hamill's performance for Buddi Chucky as he was able to make him sound innocent and sinister when need be. That's what I look for in a creepy doll; a toy who is made to be your best friend, but when you drift apart from it, whether it'll do you any good or not, it'll plan something for or against you. It was actually what I thought the original was about when I first caught a glimpse of it as a kid. Not that it disappointed me, but it wasn't what I expected is all. So yeah, that's why I prefer the 2019 one, it fits my personal preference for creepy doll characters.
You're dead on with all of these. I'm a professor and I'm teaching my Horror Cinema class this semester. It was SOOO hard not to show a few of these remakes instead of the original film in a few cases, particularly Chainsaw and Friday. I also agree on Fright Night, which is one of my all-time favs - great reinterpretation on the remake.
Im so glad I found this channel a couple years ago. Cody never fails to deliver good content man.
Agreed
Thank you
Any news on a new collection film. The first two were brilliant
The hills have eyes. Excellent
Great choice. The thing is one of the best films ever
I would say Hills Have Eyes is a worthy remake to be in the list
Hell yeah. Top 3 at least
Absolutely has to be on the list!
For sure, that movie was good from beginning to end and really didn't have any dead spots, especially once the terror on the family began. Dawn of The Dead remake is awesome to.
Hell yeah I always enjoy this film
Hell yeah man! I’d say that and TCM 2003 are my two favorite remakes
The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Crazies are three of my favorite horror remakes.

It's insane that one director was responsible for Halloween and The Thing. Two of the greatest horror movies of all time. Carpenter is one of the greatest directors to ever do the job
Two of the greatest of all time, and both completely different from each other
Prince of Darkness and The Fog are also great horror movies. John Carpenter was a horror master
The Thing is honestly waaay better
Fun Fact: Trent from Friday the 13th is also the same character with the same actor in Michael Bay’s first Transformers film. Meaning Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise takes place within the same universe as Friday the 13th (2009).

Jorge Rodriguez yep
That’s fucking silly

So do we, gtfo

The Thing (1982) is probably my favorite horror film of all time.

Totally agree about Suspiria. A great remake!
The Blob!
Dope list!!! I wanted The Hills Have Eyes to be on there. I was 9 when I saw it in theaters and nearly pissed myself.
Hills have Eyes is balls-to-the-wall intense horror. DEFINITELY should have been on the list.
Honestly, most people I've seen actually like all the remakes on this list. So it's not that controversial.
The Thing, and Halloween, are the best John Carpenter movies.
Mark my words.
Oh no I agree
Eh I like Halloween... It still has a lot of flaws
The Fog, Christine and In the Mouth of Madness are my favorite Carpenter movies. Mark my words.
Alexander Armstrong yeah but you can’t deny he did a bomb ass job because it’s still iconic and widely known till this day 🤷🏽♀️

Yes Friday The 13th is A Great Remake oh how I wish I could Say that about The A NIGHTMARE on Elm. Street Remake
Yeah if you put the two against each other Friday wins all day.
If the cast wasn't as "annoying" as most say it would be a top 5 remake.
The Original Fly was in Color, the sequel Return of the Fly was in black and White
And the screenplay to the original was by James Clavell, who wrote the novel Shogun.
The thing 1982 is a good remake. 😀👍
Bruh😂
I enjoyed the 1982 remake better than the original.
I prefer the first part, before the creature actually appears.
@CoolTrey Reacts The Thing 1982 is a remake of a 1951 film called The Thing from Another World.

Evil Dead 2013 is amazing
Finally someone who doesn't lose their mind at the idea of a movie remake. I kinda thought i was the only one.
Thank you so much for making this video. Thanks to your positive review of the Fright Night remake, I checked out the original and it’s now one of my favourite horror movies. If I hadn’t seen this video, I would never have even thought to give Fright Night, or even the vampire genre in general, a go. Honestly can’t thank you enough!
I really love the remakes of Last House On The Left, The Crazies, Friday The 13th, Zombie's Halloween and even The Hitcher!
What no Black Christmas 2019 as Number 1?, Cody I'm shocked LOL.
Great video Cody, I forgot a few of these but I agree John Carpenters: The Thing is rightfully at number 1 & still one of my all time favourite horror films.
Uh I hate to break it to you but Black Christmas 2019 sucked have you not his review for it
Cthulhu's Curse II Obvious sarcasm is obvious.
@@cthulhuscurseii310 Uh I hate to break it to you, but it's clearly a joke. There's even a "LOL" to make it crystal clear that it's a joke.
Yup it was sarcasm as I know full well Black Christmas is utter shit & loathed & detested by our Cody.
@@Timelord007 Black Christmas 2019 might actually be the worst horror film of all time.💯
My favorite is Rob Zombie’s Halloween.Never get tired of it. Second is Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Yeah people hate rob zombie for his two remakes but I think they were pretty good. All he needed to do was tone down the grittiness of Michael's family in Halloween and that movie is amazing. In H2 he should have made Loomis less of a douche bag,but the direction he took with Loomis was cool because it gave us more of a modern version of a figure looking for fame.
I'm not a big fan of the Halloween remake but love The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Yeah Jaelen that’s true. I don’t like how much sex dialogue is in the movie. Mainly cause I’d love to watch it with my daughter cause it’s a great movie. She’s 14 but I have a problem with watching it with my kid, kinda awkward
Great video like always. FYI: The original The Fly was in color (the sequels were in black and white)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is my favorite.
Ohhhh and I was today year old when I found out that the dog trainer in the thing is adult stan in 1990 it!
10. Childs Play (2019)
9. The Fly (1986)
8. Prom Night (2008)
7. Carrie (2013)
6. The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
5. The Evil Dead (2013)
4. It (2017)
3. The Thing (1982)
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)
1. Friday the 13th (2009)
Great list Cody glad to see the fly remake on their!
I love that Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead made this list. It's a nice little gem that has action, good characters with arcs and claustrophobia.
It's a shame this movie does not have many more appreciative reviews on UA-cam.
TCM 2003 was one of my first horror movies. I was 3 when it came out and had no idea when I first saw it. So by default it's on the top of my list. 1999 The Mummy for sure is up their on my list, as well as Hills Have Eyes. Also Thirteen Ghosts. Horror of Dracula 1955 Christopher Lee. House of Wax 50s and 00s.
Let’s go!!!!!!!!!! Been tuned in since i found this channel
Wow. I've been a true horror film aficionado for over thirty years, and I didn't even know that "The Crazies" was even a remake. Guess you learn something new everyday.
First off I LOVE your t-shirt!
Second for the longest time the only good Texas Chainsaw movie was the original, all the sequels were crap. Then the remake came along and damn did it blow even the original movie out of the water.
Haven’t seen any TCM films
1. The Thing
2. IT
3. Evil Dead
4. Child’s Play
5. Dawn of the Dead
I loved the IT remakes. Part one, especially.
@@jennifersixx3740 Part one Yes, part two sucked pants
Insidious 5
The Dawn of the dead remake is soooo good
The Friday remake is exactly how you should do remakes (Of franchises). Basically a compilation of the best bits of the early movies.
Childs Play and TCM
Child’s play remake sucks totally butchered the original intent of the character
@@TheMojaveCourieryeah its shitty af
Honestly, I kinda like the whole huntsman Jason thing. Someone who needs to survive in the wilderness would be naturally inclined to know such things, and he'd definitely be a beast physically
Can never argue with one's opinion on things like these, so I enjoyed your list completely. For me though there is one big miss and that would be the 70's version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland. The Maniac remake was also very good. Great list Cody and enjoyed your thoughts as always.
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS 1978 THE THING 1982 THE FLY 1985 all 3 way better than the originals period
TCSM was intense from the brain shot and never let it's foot off the gas till the end. Loved it.
Marcus Nispel is very underrated. I love his remakes of F13 and TCM
Those are his only 2 good flicks. So I wouldn't call him underrated, as far as his body of work goes.
@@jeanpaulmichell7243 As a horror filmmaker, he's underrated
The Fly 1958 is in color. Return of the Fly is black and white.
The Thing is one of the few Horror films that you can call perfect 💯. Your review better be 50 minutes long Cody.
I think it is really cool that the first movie you placed on your list was the first one I thought of when considering a movie that in my head "better be on this list".
Don't think I can pull 10 but Friday the 13th and Rob Zombie's Halloweens all rock and hot take here, but I have a lot of fun with Elm Street, it's not very good, but I like it.
@suny123boy1 um yes he did
I can't believe that the "MANIAC" remake is not in this list! It's such a cool and brutal film!
The Thing(1982)
The Fly(1986)
The Ring(2002)
The Texas ChainSaw Massacre(2003)
Dawn of The Dead(2004)
Evil Dead(2013)
Suspiria(2018)
Let Me In
Invasion of The Body Snatchers
Cape Fear(1991)
are textbook classic examples of how to craft an excellent remake
The ring isn’t a remake
@@difference3maker36 I think it’s based off some old Japanese film I could be wrong though
@@difference3maker36 well, it kind of is, it’s more of an english version of the japanese version from 1998, as the person above me said. It is a bit different, not sure if i’d consider it a remake or not
I don't mind of reboots or remakes from my top favorite Horror Franchises, man!!!!!!!!
I agree with you on basically everything. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite zombie film, The last Friday the 13th is my favorite in the franchise and The Texas Chainsaw on the list is also my favorite. Buuuuuuuut... the new evil dead was good, just not my favorite..
I saw My bloody valentine 3D remake on the thumbnail but I didn't see it on the video
TCM, HILLS HAVE EYES, the FLY, The Blob.
Damn good list -- and I appreciate how you acknowledge the quality of Friday the 13th 2009.
One of my personal favorites: Night of the Living Dead 1990 (Tom Savini).
Shawn of The Dead is probably My Favorite Zombie Movie that Movie is Hilarious
I'll put it on the best parody list, but Dawn of the Dead takes that one
My favorite Horror Movie remake is John Carpenter's The Thing (1982).
Friday The 13th Remake was actually decent I was surprise cause remakes I usually bash but I like the idea of Jason running.
The Thing is one of my fave films ever , my fave remakes are the Ring , Evil dead . Also love Dawn of the dead after Evil Dead .
I also think cody should do a top 10 worst horror remakes. I'm sure I can guess his least favorite.
1. Nightmare on elm street, or one of the Carrie's.
My top 10 horror remakes, which may also ruffle feathers:
1, The Thing
2, The Fly
3, The Mummy
4, The Blob
5, Evil Dead
6, Fright Night
7, Friday the 13th
8, My Bloody Valentine
9, The Ring
10, It Chapter 1
Suspiria was a great remake.
The Dawn of the Dead remake is in my top 10 movies ever. I love it. I do wish there was some alternate, wish fulfilling ending where everyone lives, but I can't deny the credits clips with Down With the Sickness is fucking amazing.
Dawn of the Dead remake is my favourite zombie movie of all time as well. However.. Zack Snyder after this movie and 300 is just so horrible.
Right?? Jesus. I thought everyone loved 300. Shit *sucked*
at this point i'm just loving every video you do you deserve more subscribers
I hope the f13 remake is on the list
Friday the 13th (2009) is not a Remake!!!!!!! Ist's a Reeboot
geheimeGurke both
You are not alone in feeling that way with both Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th, I love both these movies and for me they are also the best versions, I didn’t grow up watching the originals, I watched the originals after I watched these great remakes and like you said, the originals felt kind of dated imho. I get it, understand it and respect the impact they had at the time they came out and they are excellent movies, but these remakes are the best versions for me too, I love Marcus Nispel as a director, very underrated director, he’s great at creating these dark atmospheres and he is amazing with the visualizing and knows what he wants and what he wants to capture on film, beautiful cinematography, Great list...
Love this list Cody! I agree with all your picks - although I am one of those people who can't stand Trent from the Friday the 13th remake haha
God I was waiting the whole movie for him to die...
The fact that a lot of people can't realize that others will have a different opinion than theirs and just respect that. Movies/shows/games/music is all subjective and everyone is going to have their own feelings about it. If we all loved the same things, life would be boring. It's great that everyone has their own likes and dislikes and that there's pretty much something out there for anyone to enjoy. I just wish more people would respect that.
The Grudge and The Ring are also Remakes The Ring is A Remake of A Horror Movie called Ringu based on A Book Called Ring by Koji Suzuki and The Grudge is A Remake of A Horror Movie Series called Ju-on
I think they’re definitely good American remakes. The 2004 Grudge, not the 2020 one.
The first grudge and ring are great remakes!
Ju on is actually a very disturbing movie even more so than the remake
@@hitmanhatton True
@@hitmanhatton That doesn't mean that The American Versions aren't also disturbing Movies Kayako Saeki makes that Noise with Her Throat because Her Husband broke Her Windpipe when He Killed Her so that is why She Constantly sounds like She is Throwing Up Or Burping
An excellent top ten remake list!
My favorite remakes are Child's Play and Friday the 13th. I have also grown up with the child's play franchise and found the remake a fresh one at best with the story and the relationship between Andy and Chucky.
With Friday the 13th, I like that we get more of Jason at his most badass by far.
Nice to finally see you do this list! I knew The Thing would be number 1. ;)
Before Watching:
Predictions: Child’s Play, Evil Dead, The Thing, Friday the 13th, It, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
After Watching:
All but Child’s Play made it onto the lost.
Thank goodness! Although I’m shocked bcuz I know Cody enjoyed it. 🙂
The fly is the only movie I ever actually heard someone throwing up in as we were watching the movie
The Thing is a great movie. I really liked the practical effects that they did. Looks better than a lot of the CGI movies have nowadays.
Agreed. I'll take practical effects over most CGI any day.
1) Evil Dead
2) My Bloody Valentine
3) The Amityville Horror
4) The Hills Have Eyes
5) The Hills Have Eyes 2
6) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
7) A Nightmare On Elm Street
8) Child’s Play
9) Friday The 13th
10) Halloween
Childs play 2019 is my favorite Chucky movie so far
I never thought I'd see somebody say that. It's in the top 3. Child's play 2 and Curse Of Chucky are better.
It was the first Child's Play movie I actually watched, and after I finally watched the original, I have to say, I do enjoy the 2019 one more.
Not that I DON'T like the original one, I think it's a fun ride over all and Brad Douriff kicks ass as Good Guy Chucky, but when it comes to creepy doll villains, I'm more into the ones that are quiet and calculating rather than shouting ones.
So for MY personal preference, I enjoyed Mark Hamill's performance for Buddi Chucky as he was able to make him sound innocent and sinister when need be. That's what I look for in a creepy doll; a toy who is made to be your best friend, but when you drift apart from it, whether it'll do you any good or not, it'll plan something for or against you.
It was actually what I thought the original was about when I first caught a glimpse of it as a kid. Not that it disappointed me, but it wasn't what I expected is all.
So yeah, that's why I prefer the 2019 one, it fits my personal preference for creepy doll characters.
You're dead on with all of these. I'm a professor and I'm teaching my Horror Cinema class this semester. It was SOOO hard not to show a few of these remakes instead of the original film in a few cases, particularly Chainsaw and Friday. I also agree on Fright Night, which is one of my all-time favs - great reinterpretation on the remake.
that’d be a huge disservice to ur class. the OG texas chainsaw is one of the greatest horror movies of all time.
@@MichaelJordanGoat2324 I used the original in class and gave them the others on the supplemental list.
