Evil BongNight of the Living Dead 1990 and Dawn of the Dead 2004
#17
Remakes are fine if the people, mostly the director/writer, behind them know what they are doing. If they have a profound love for the original and set out to bring something new to the table, the remake will be fine. These remakes need to be the director's own vision. I commend Zombie for literally reinterpreting Halloween, but he didn't interpret it in a favorable manner. Remakes such as Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street didn't so much as bring something new but rather banked off of the mindless teenage torture that's all the rage nowadays. Sure, 80's slashers are guilty of the same thing but each of them were different and tried something new in their own respects.
