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 have been more than thirty film adaptations of Robert Louis Stevenson’s gothic novella The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, so this would seem like a tale that has been well told, but has it been told well enough?

There is the classic silent version starring John Barrymore 1921, an Academy Award winning edition from 1931 and 1996’s Mary Reilly take which put a different slant on the story, but how many do you know? As studios regurgitate horror films from as recently as the last decade, why is no-one tackling Stevenson’s classic tale depicting the struggle between Good and Evil within human nature?

Surely this is a story as relevant today as it was back in 1886, and with the dearth of good stories, here’s one ready to go. Whether told as a bleak, sinister horror, or a darkly comedic adventure, Jekyll And Hyde would be a perfect foil for an up-and-coming filmmaker to get their proverbial teeth into.
