WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I would love to know what went through the minds of Jen and Sylvia Soska, who also star in the remake, when they considered remaking something from the insane mind of David Cronenberg. I have to admit, this is my second attempt at trying to write this article because, …

To Remake or Not To Remake
The Tale of Hua Mulan
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers Now, we all know that Disney aren’t ones for original stories, however I didn’t realise that these films were based on old Chinese folk tale about Hua Mulan who took her father’s place in battle for 12 years! For me, forget Cinderella and Snow White, these are female characters …
The Time of the Massacre
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers It’s a common thing for there to be an American remake of a foreign film, Ju-on and The Grudge for example, however it is very rare for this to happen the other way around. I’ve mentioned previously that this article was coming when I wrote my Indian Horror article …
Poltergeist 1982 vs 2015
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I have a question, how can a remake be considered as part of an original cannon? Yes, I said it, the 2015 version of Poltergeist is referred to as both a remake of the 1982 film AND the fourth instalment in the Poltergeist franchise. Wouldn’t that make it a …
House on Haunted Hill 1959 vs 1999
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I had to check before writing this article if these films were originally based on a book, but I think I may have been confusing them with The Haunting of Hill House which is something completely different. Obviously the main question of this article is which is better – …
Piranha 1978 vs 1995
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers Here’s something funny and more specifically something I learned while writing this article and that is that I didn’t realise this remake even existed – only that it was remade in 2010 in 3D. On top of this, and a slightly more interesting fact, is that the original film …
Suspiria de Profundis
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers So, you know how I’ve said before that I wasn’t doing anymore remake articles that were based on books? Well, I find it rather interesting that these films are actually based on an essay by Thomas De Quincey from 1845. Now, the 2018 remake is considered to be “inspired” …
Black Christmas 1974 vs 2006
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers Originally, this article was supposed to be a 3 way comparison between the 1974 version, 2006 and 2019 remakes. However, and not through lack of trying, it has been impossible to find a copy of the 2019 film ANYWHERE! Anyway, back to the point and as we know from …
Road House 1989 vs 2024
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers I’ll be completely honest with you, I had never seen the original Road House before writing this article but I still had reservations regarding Jake Gyllenhaal taking on the role. I’m just going to point out that this is a complete me-problem because I don’t rate him as much …
Speak No Evil 2022 vs 2024
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 …
