Remy – Martin
Ah, sweet Martin. I know this is late seventies, but I had to cheat a little, because that is just how much I love this film.
Perhaps the most under-appreciated George Romero film, and easily the best thing he did besides Dawn and Creepshow, Martin is a movie about a boy who is a vampire, and has to feed his urges in the only way he knows how. OR, Martin is about a serial killer who THINKS he is a vampire, and so he acts accordingly. That is the real beauty of Martin – it was a concept that was WELL ahead of its time, and has an ending that sticks in your guts like bad Chinese food. A Martin reboot, if cast correctly, could bring the brilliance of the film to a whole new generation of horror fans who don’t even know it exists.
A good deal of these on this list I want rebooted because they would make me laugh. Martin I want rebooted because it made me cringe, and I loved every second of it. Was he or wasn’t he a vampire? I’ll never tell.
