Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
I counted Carrie (2002), which is the same case as It.
In my view, it's an adaptation of source material (a novel), and the 2017 It is another adaptation of the source material, NOT a remake of the 1990 version. Same with Poe-related movies. Or Stoker's Dracula.
That said, I counted the 2002 Carrie, despite it being a re-adaptation, so I'd say the 2017 It is fine, but not the 1990 version.
Hopefully I answered the right question.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
Yeah, but I mentioned I wasn't going to focus on Readaption vs. Remake vs. Reboot stuff, that gets too so messy I'd rather have a simple list. You putting both Carrie and Shining on yours only further reminded me no one touched on It yet.Jigsaw wrote:I counted Carrie (2002), which is the same case as It.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
To me, both are based off King source novels. One was a television mini-series, and the other was a 1976 movie, but I guess I don't see how that makes a difference into adaptations that came later (It (2017) and Carrie (2002 and 2013).DancesWithWerewolves wrote:TV version came first with It?

Mind = Blown. I didn't think twice about people including Carrie and the Shining, but IT pumps the brakes. Why, D? Why?!

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
I wasn't ruling on my list. I was using something I see similar from my list as an example to explain my thoughts. I answered the question I thought was being asked using an example.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
fair enough, then. remakes (or re-adaptations, reboots. whatever) are all fair, regardless of whether they came from a tv movie or were tv movies themselves. done.Jigsaw wrote:I wasn't ruling on my list.

It (2017) is a great movie, but It: Chapter 2 felt more average. I'm trying to mentally combine both films' ratings, and judge then if the combined It/It: Chapter 2 would fit in my top ten, and it doesn't.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
If just chap 1 is a "great" movie, it's on your fucking list. But it's also your favorite book, and they did a lot of things well and it has repeat value. And this is a fucking remake list, do you like remakes all of the sudden?Jigsaw wrote:I almost don't want to answer, but I will.Reign in Blood wrote:This don't make no god damn sense.

My point was does medium matter in this?

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
And the first one was filmed as a solo movie, unsure it would even be successful to do the rest of the book.

Re: Top 10 Horror Remakes
If I may say this, and then sit back and relax, I do like all the ten movies on my list. But there's not one movie on my list that I think is better than the original in question, if that makes sense.Reign in Blood wrote:If just chap 1 is a "great" movie, it's on your fucking list.

It (2017) and Chapter 2 is complicated to me, which is partially why I left it out. I certainly didn't do it to offend anyone.
