8 Horror Films That Hollywood Should Remake Soon

Should any film ever be remade? Well, Hollywood certainly thinks so, and there seems to be an unending supply of directors who think they can improve on what’s gone before. Whatever the final result, and of course every filmmaker sets out to make the best film they can, the new production will always be subjected to the harshest scrutiny when compared with an often loved original. Clearly unfazed by any potential negativity, studio execs seem convinced that the most suitable target for remakes is the good old horror flick.

There is a feeling amongst some horror fans (but not here as you’ll see) that Night Of The Creeps is something of a classic. A gloriously fun comedy-horror that typifies the humour and exuberance present in 80s filmmaking. That’s one way of looking at it.

Another might be that this is a weary slog of a film that suffers from attempts at humour that barely rise up out of the sub-Porky’s gutter, and contains sigh-inducing visual effects that you could reproduce at home with a supply of Play-doh and a range of table sauces.

Perhaps we’re being harsh, but there is something incredibly dated about Night Of The Creeps that simply refuses to allow you to enjoy the movie. A remake would give a budding director the chance to retain much of what does actually work (parts of the script) and jettison what doesn’t (everything else).
