remakes Remakes REMAKES

With the overwhelming amount of horror sequels and remakes coming out (yes, they are planning ANOTHER Children of the Corn remake), I thought I'd make things worse and take a look at some more planned remakes that are way out on the horizon.

Poltergeist
Scanners
Piranha
(As if this was popular enough to need a remake)
It (although I can see why, as the original was only a made-for-TV movie)
They Live (no way, a cult classic!)
The Orphanage (are we seeing a trend of remaking films that just came out?)
Suspiria (another cult classic that can only end in an awful attempt to update the original)
Battle Royale
I Spit on Your Grave (going the route of Last House on the Left?)

The future is scary, folks. Just look through any horror site - there are more sequels/remakes slated than original ideas. Many of these films are just talk, most have barely even made it into pre-production, so let's hope they don't come to fruition. But if they do, these are some of the films we can look forward to...

Thanks to Upcoming Horror Movies and Horror-Movies.ca for their information.

Remaking "Scanners" sounds like blasphemy.

You have got to be shitting me that they're remaking They Live

Remaking The Orphanage (El Orfanato) will be horrible! That is one of my favorite films I have watched in the past few months and going "American" will kill it.

I pretty much feel all of them are going to be bastard children.

The way I see it, its crappy CG-filled direct to DVD sequel a la LOST BOYS THE TRIBE, or crappy remake with slightly higher potential. Ill take the lesser of two evils..
