Dawn of the Dead was an excellent remake. It knew it could no way top the story telling of the original so it went in a different direction which I loved. I havent sen the F13 reamke yet (not until Monday), but I couldnt decide if I liked Hills or TCM better. And Rob Zombie completely missed the point with the Halloween remake. You could have slapped a hockey mask on him and it almost could of been a F13 movie.

Most unnecessary but quickly becoming my all time favorite remake is Tom Savini's colorized remake Night of the Living Dead w/RZ Halloween a distant second

I couldn't sit through the Chainsaw remake. The Dawn remake was OK for what it was.

for modern horror remake i'd put dawn of the dead or the hills have eyes up there first, but sine theyre not on the poll i voted Friday the thirteenth. There wasnt much to stay true to in terms of substance so it was done well. I'd but TCM last on any list, the OG TCM looked like a snuff film, the new one has jessica biel in it and no grandpa.

Batty, gotta agree. The Thing is the only remake that is superior. Haven't seen Friday 13th but don't have high hopes. Dawn was adequate, Day of he Dead should have come with a promotional air freshener. The only slaughter that went on in Rob Zombie's Halloween was what he did to the movie. 1000 Corpses did rock though

I agree that the thing is the best horror remake. the poll says best horror remake not modern, so The Thing is totally viable. I would also say ED2 seeing that it is basically a remake of the first ED movie.

Friday The 13th-without question my first, friggen loved this movie

Texas Chainsaw Massacre-awsome movie, didn't like it as much as I liked F13 but still great

Hills have eyes-liked it alot, not quite as much as TCM but close

Zombie's halloween- my fav classic horror is my least fav horror remake, didnt like this movie

 

[The Monster]

Rob Zombie's Halloween!

 

[cerealkeller]

the remake of texas was needed, the friday wasn't needed as much but still love it!!!!!

?????? I liked it but in no way was it needed. Original holds up still and is ^^^^ing brutal! I would say if any, the remake of Friday was needed as the original really isn't very good at all.

Rob Zombie's Halloween!

 

[Darth_Fatso]

Of the one's mentioned above I gotta go with F13 but out of all the remakes I've seen my personal favorite are JC's version of The Thing, Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead.

 

[Markoto]

I like the Halloween remake the most.The hills and the Texas are ok. The worse is F13 remake.

Batty, gotta agree. The Thing is the only remake that is superior.

I love the Thing but I dont really classify it as a remake. The original Thing From Another World that came out in the early 1950s was very loosely based on the story called "Who Goes There" or something like that. John Carpenter's The Thing was based more on the original material than Thing From Another World.

it's significantly different from howard hawks' film, but carpenter did set out to make a movie based on the Thing from another world, not Who Goes There. He decided he wanted to do something different, or as they might say it today a 'reimagining' or a 'fresh take', and to do that he could be more faithful to the novel that both films were based on. So that came after the initial project which was, once again, not a movie based on Who Goes there but a movie based on the Thing from another world. The decision to stick truer to the book came after.

In the poll list, the hills have eyes was my favorite remake.

 

[StartOurwar]

My favorite in that poll is hands down the F13 remake. There has been a quite a few great remakes though that you guys already mentioned. Dawn of The Dead, Night of The Living Dead, The Thing. The one remake I will never understand though is TCM. That film actually offended me as a fan of the original. Now, I may sound like a nerdy movie snob but that movie totally missed the mark. What made the original so effective was what it didn't show you. It left so much of the violence up to your own imagination. With that in mind, your memory tends to fill in those gaps the film didn't show you. The remake was just this gritty, gory movie that aspired to be like all the other horror flicks that raked in the cash.

I havent seen F13th yet, going Wednesday, but so far I have like TCM way more than the others.

High hopes for F13th though
