What are some of the best Horror Remakes?

[Rampage12]

Psycho's series

Bates Motel

A prequel is not a remake.

Its reimagined non original it counts

No, it's not a prequel is a prequel. So you're saying Prometheus is a remake of Alien??? The upcoming Better Call Saul is a remake of Breaking Bad???

But the only one I've liked in recent years is Last House on the Left, thought it was pretty good. And I 100% agree about Rob Zombie's Halloween films...thought they were both ass cheeks, and why'd they have to make him 8 feet tall and 400 pounds?

Dawn of The Dead as well. The one with Ving Rhames.

this , the fly the 2006 texas chainsaw massacre are my favs. that 2010 nightmare on elm street was meh.

Saying Bates Motel is a prequel to Psycho is like saying Hannibal (the TV show) is a prequel to the movie Red Dragon or that Batman Begins is a prequel to Batman (1989). It's a re imagining of pre-existing source material (Psycho was based on a novel). So by all intents and purposes yes it could be called a remake since it's doing the narrative over for a new era.

lol yeah, I can understand finding the whole the mutant/hillbilly thing lame... but idk this movie just did it right.

Acting was good, which is rare for this genre. The characters weren't annoying, and behaved somewhat realistically. Also, I like that a good percentage of this movie was filmed in broad daylight, and was still able to capture tension & suspense. The cinematography was awesome, I loved the desert visuals. The movie was gory, brutal, violent, and disturbing...the burning alive scene was haunting, and sad.

I think it exceeds the original in every way possible
