The Evil Dead

The original wasn't really that cheesy. It's one of the scariest films ever made if you ask me -_-...
I can see the flaws in it though; some of the makeup effects were half done (demon-actors necks only painted as opposed to covered) and the acting/direction wasn't the best, near the beginning, though it improved very noticeably by the time the action started to occur.
I could see a remake being done, but only by a hypercompetant director, one who ISN'T going for cheezy, and who nonetheless isn't hung up on "epic" or "dignified" direction. An Evil Dead remake could very well be the most effective horror film ever; but there are some things that would HAVE to be done to achieve that.

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
