Nothing makes a horror fan’s eyes roll like the announcement of another remake. As a general rule, horror remakes are terrible. They’re usually cheap attempts by Hollywood to cash in on the past success of big name franchises. The problem is that they never seem to understand what it was that made those films great in the first place.
A prime example, of course, is the 2010 reboot of Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street. Although the film is technically a success at the box office, it holds a 15% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The negative feedback made New Line scrap their plans to do a sequel to the film.
However, there are horror movie remakes out there that aren’t painful to watch. Believe it or not, there are some which are actually very good. So let’s take a look at five of the very best horror movie remakes.
