To Remake or Not To Remake

WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers This is actually the first time in recent history that I will be covering a remake of a film where the original was only made two years ago prior! I had been meaning to watch the Danish original for a while but the remake gave me that push (Thank …

WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers Now, this article was supposed to comparing the 1953 and 2005 versions of House of Wax. However, I have since found out that the 1953 version isn’t actually the original film as there was The Mystery of the Wax Museum made back in the 1930s which the Vincent Price …

WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers As promised a couple of months ago, my second The Omen article. I was genuinely concerned when writing this that it was going to turn out that these films were actually based on a book (one I would consider reading mind) making the article pointless.

WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers OK, yes I said it before but then if I broke the promise once who’s to say I wasn’t going to break it again. However, I guess a short story doesn’t really count right? As you can guess, these films are based on the short story Farewell to the …

WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I promised myself that I was going to stop writing articles about remakes that are based on a novel (yes, I didn’t know this before but this was based on The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney) because they aren’t technically remakes, just different adaptations of the same book.
