remake
 | The Mad RoomMovie Review The Mad Room (1969), directed by Bernard Girard, is a remake of the 1941 classic gothic thriller Ladies in Retirement, but it’s adapted with a style and a taste for psychological horror typical of the late 1960s. Although not a masterpiece without flaws, the film stands out for its dark atmosphere and the intense performances of its two leading actresses: Stella Stevens and Shelley Winters... Read More |
 | Fright NightMovie Review Fright Night (2011) is a slick, modern reimagining of the 1985 cult vampire classic, bringing fresh energy while respecting the original’s spirit. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the film masterfully blends horror, black comedy, and action, creating a tense yet entertaining experience. The story follows Charley Brewster (Anton Yelchin), a high school student living in a quiet Las Vegas suburb, whose life takes a terrifying turn when his enigmatic new neighbor, Jerry Dandrige (Colin Farrell), turns out to be a vampire. Farrell delivers a charismatic yet chilling performance, exuding predatory charm and genuine menace. The pacing is... Read More |
 | The HauntingMovie Review Jan de Bont’s The Haunting is a glossy, visually ambitious remake of the 1963 classic horror film, itself based on Shirley Jackson’s novel The Haunting of Hill House. While the 1999 version boasts an impressive cast and opulent production design, it ultimately fails to deliver consistent tension or meaningful character development. The film follows Eleanor “Nell” Vance (Lili Taylor), a lonely and fragile woman who joins a sleep study conducted by Dr. David Marrow (Liam Neeson) at the mysterious Hill House. Alongside her are the bold and flirtatious Theo (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and the skeptical Luke (Owen Wilson).... Read More |
 | NosferatuMovie Review A Gothic Masterpiece of Terror by Robert Eggers With "Nosferatu", Robert Eggers delivers a visually and narratively hypnotic film, capable of revisiting the iconic vampire myth with stylistic elegance and rare emotional intensity in contemporary cinema. The director, already acclaimed for The Witch and The Lighthouse, once again proves his talent for creating dense, disturbing, and magnetic atmospheres. Bill Skarsgård is simply terrifying as Count Orlok, a character who embodies the essence of horror without the need for excess. His screen presence is as haunting as it is tragic, and stands out as one of the most... Read More |
 | Bones and allMovie Review Adaptation of the novel of the same name by Camille DeAngelis. |
 | Fantasy IslandMovie Review A horror remake of the famous ABC TV series from the 70s/80s that keeps almost nothing of the original, only the magnificent island of dreams. Another low-budget production by Blumhouse designed not for what we all expected, that is, a middle-aged audience nostalgic for the TV series, but instead, as usual, for kids. A youthful soft horror that badly mixes various genres, thriller, melodrama, comedy, blending everything together... The result is a dull and idealess film, with an anonymous cast. In short, extremely boring. |
 | Goodnight MommyMovie Review A psychological thriller with horror nuances, a remake of a 2014 Austrian film described as disturbing and highly praised by critics. Hidden behind a mask, we find the always good Naomi Watts, here also a producer, in the role of a mother who whispers a horror lullaby in the ears of her children... to tell us that very, too often the monster lives within the walls of the home and in the people closest to us. Compared to the original film, there is much less ferocity and cruelty, but it is still a good film of tension and mystery. The dream sequences are particularly suggestive. |
 | Pet SemataryMovie Review Whether you’re the type of person who loves remakes or simply the type who loves to hate them, it’s highly likely that 2019’s Pet Sematary is on your radar for one reason or another if you’re into horror. It’s directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer (who also directed Starry Eyes) and is, of course, a reboot of the classic Stephen King film... Read More |
 | PINOCCHIO: UNSTRUNGHorror News PINOCCHIO: FIRST LOOK AT THE TALKING CRICKET FROM THE HORROR REMAKE: HE'S TERRIFYING Forget the comforting fairy tale you grew up with: Pinocchio is about to return in horror form. The new remake, titled Pinocchio: Unstrung, completely overturns the myth of the wooden puppet, erasing any trace of a happy ending. Over the years, we’ve seen countless adaptations of Collodi’s tale: from Disney’s animated classic, to Matteo Garrone’s visionary live-action, to Guillermo del Toro’s heartbreaking stop-motion version. Now, horror cinema takes hold of the story, turning it into a waking nightmare. Behind the camera is Rhys Frake-... Read More |
 | Horror Movies to Watch on this Christmas 2017Horror News Black Christmas (1974) Getting stabbed by a unicorn head to the ghostly tune of carolers singing “Silent Night” is probably not how you want to spend Christmas Eve. This pre-Scream holiday slasher claims its victims in a sorority house haunted by creepy phone calls (sans ghost mask), demonic noises, bodies eerily shrouded in plastic wrap, and one perverse killer whose voice alone is enough to freeze your blood. When an unidentified caller keeps repeatedly harassing your entire sorority house with obscene things you can only half-understand (because he sounds like a deranged Donald Duck that... Read More |
