Today we dive into three horror remakes that not only hold their own but actually surpass the originals! From John Carpenterâs terrifying The Thing to David Cronenbergâs body horror masterpiece The Fly and Zack Snyderâs intense Dawn of the Dead, these films broke the âremakes are always worseâ curse.

No "The Blob" remake?
Fuck you.
I appreciate The Thing and The Fly but don't watch either. Love Dawn 04. F13 09 is great and so is TCM 03, I also enjoy My Bloody Valentine. Great video as always guys đđđžđđ
seth was drunk and angry when he made a snap decision to test the pod rewatch the movie
The Fly (1986) is probably one of the very few examples of remakes that are done the way remakes SHOULD be done. Giving a fresh-new twist/take on an idea while still making it entertaining and new for some. Instead of just going the "Disney Live-Action Remake" route and copy/pasting the original while making it "woke" and "PC"đ¤˘đ¤Ž
If you will…go on…
If you like campy horror The Night of the Demons remake from 2009 is a fun watch. It's another rare occasion that the remake is just as enjoyable as the original.
Why on Earth would we forget the originals, when they are just as good? The Thing 50s is easily one of the best movies ever made, despite technical limitations and obvious almost non-existing FX compared to it's 80s counterpart, The Thing 50s has incredibly tight screenplay and characters feel like an actual human beings. I love how the scientist guy in this movie asks military commander to let him attempt to communicate with alien to see if it's intelligent and could be reasoned with to stop the attack, but as soon as alien turns to be hostile, he's like "fuck it, blast it, I've tried". Then there's real nice utilization of characters who are experts in their fields, who use their knowledge to fight off the monster. Movie might be outdated in terms of technical stuff, but you could easily take that exact same screenplay and make the movie now, and it would be a blast because screenplay is not outdated at all.
Anyone who thinks Dawn of the Dead remake is better then Romero's original is simply out of touch.
I was hoping the third entry would be The Blob. The Fly, The Thing, and the Blob are my holy trinity of horror remakes (and they all feature legendary special effects.)
I love the Dawn remake as well, but it's not on the same level, particularly in the conventional F/X department. Plus, the original was pretty awesome. The OG Fly, Thing, and Blob were all enjoyable for their time, but left plenty of room for improvement.
The Bloob The Fly The Thing and Dawn of the dead are fantastic re-make's
70s Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Dawn Of The Dead '04 is definitely NOT better than George Romero's '78 masterpiece.
Hey yo! WHAT ABOUT THE BLOB??
The Thing is so good. I never even knew that it is a remake.
The Fly 80s
Nightmare on Elm St
The Thing 80s
And now…..
Terrifier
The Thing video game from 2002 is getting a modern remaster by Nightdive Studios which should re-ignite interest in the 1982 movie I think.
2004 Dawn of the dead intro is amazing indeed, but did you have to make me feel this old by pointing out this 'new' movie is 20 years old? đ đ
The original dawn of the dead in any cut is still the greatest zombie movie ever. The remake is very inferior.
There's a reason The Fly & Thing ALWAYS top these lists. The OG films were utter crap! Anyone could have improved on those!
Using rule of thumb that a movie has to make twice its budget to break even, "The Thing" was quite a flop in its first release.
Well, at least the CDC and stuff aren't making stuff up.
NO , wft is this PUTA on about , remakes are a joke .
The Fly, The Thing, and I'm throwing in Invasion Of The Body Snatchers from 1978… aren't remakes.
They're based on novels.
If they're remakes because they're the same as the previous movie, then it's like calling Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) a remake of Captain America (1990)… which in turn is a remake of Captain America (1979)… I mean, they all have the exact same plot and are movies that followed their previous incarnation.
Or Man Of Steel being a remake of Superman Returns, which in turn is a remake of Superman 4…
The only true remake I'd consider as the greatest remake of all time would be The Blob (1988).
It outclasses the original movie by a long long way… and the original also had a 90-year-old-looking Steve McQueen playing a 17 year old character.
Great idea for a video but the crappy AI voice took me right out of it. Got a passion for horror? come out and say it then. Lame.
Nonono ur wrong you can't say 'forget the remakes' what the fuck r you trying to say? As a horror fan you should always remember the original. Plus can't compare Vincent Price original to that garbage.
Oh man I LOVED The Fly with Jeff Goldblum
The Thing only wanted to leave earth.
I love the Curt Russel version of The Thing.
đđ
But the newer reboot is good too.
Only to be anoying. đ Subbing again, And
yeah Dawn of the dead IS A good watch.
Have a good day đ
Always Batman 89 for me. The European filming esthetic. The timeless feel, the production design, Batmanâs costume, my favorite actor portraying my all time favorite villain, the score is also less dreary than Returns was. The fact that it came out in the 80s played a factor too. Gave it a quality that I canât quite put words to. Being born in the 80s myself It was my first love when it came to movies.
Cambel is an "aweful human being"? No…he was a PROPHET đ
3 of the greats. If this was all you had to watch, you'd be in a good place.
Where's The Blob?
It did give africans a better life than they had in Africa.
Nothing weird about that statement, mr woke.
âThe Flyâ remake was so ahead of its time. Addressing subtexts of misogyny and toxic male behavior, womenâs sexuality and modern freedoms, womenâs health rights and even the fatherâs rights in cases of abortion, the cultural fear of AIDS, etc.
I think the âDawn Of The Deadâ reboot opening was impactful at that time because (just like the entire zombie trend of the 00s/much like â28 Daysâ) it was so soon after 9/11. Everyone was still processing the real life trauma of waking up to horror, devastation and an instantly changed society. We literally watched crowds of real people running from death on live television. These films were an outlet for that.
Though I love the Thing movie, the problem with it is that the alien is literal a ferocious parasite which is hard to believe to be an intelligent form to devise advanced technology.
The Thing is simply one of the greatest movies of all time, but I must admit I do forget about the The Fly, even though it's truly fantastic. Talking of remakes, I would love to see Scanners or The Brood remade. [I looked under my bed for 5 years after that one……]
The fly is cronenbergs best movie by far. Honestly not even the biggest fan of his overall but the fly is basically perfect.
The thing is also basically perfect.
Dawn of the dead was an entertaining movie for sure, but not the caliber of the other two
As someone else mentioned perhaps night of the living dead from 1990 (I think) should be on this list.
Being a human fly has vary little to do whit human existence experience
You really mentioned Dawn of the Dead and just totally glossed over the remake of Night of the Living Dead from 1990 that Tom Savini directed. Also what about The Blob remake from the 80's?
Great video! It's pretty hard to find remakes that are even good. But you picked some great ones!
Please do a list of remakes that failed
