Horror Movie Remakes That Did Justice to the Originals

March 1, 2021 by Red Stewart

Marvelous Videos with a selection of great horror movie remakes…

Remakes and reboots get a bad rep. When you have an established product that resonated with a lot of people, it can be hard to replicate that feeling. Most of the time, it seems studios try to compensate for the lack of charm with more spectacle, which in turn creates a feedback loop that moves it further and further away from its predecessor’s value.

But that’s not always the case- there are many remakes that not only retained the original charm, but also added something new and exciting to the product. And in the case of the horror genre, that means more scares and chills!
