Also the Evil Dead franchise is very VERY fucked! and tbh the last good Evil Dead movies we've gotten is Army of Darkness and the tv show Ash Vs. Evil Dead.

justify the 2013 remake sucked shit and i hope the upcoming Evil Dead Rise will suck.

just stick with the originals and Ash vs. Evil Dead and the comics and video games.

So there were three good movies and a good TV show and good games and good comics but the series is "VERY fucked" because of one mildly recieved installment from 2013? I'm not even a huge fan of ED (neither is my girlfriend, and I hate having to take pills) but it seems to me like it's among the most solid popular horror franchises out there. Not even comparable to the stupidity of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Care to explain? It has been 17 years since I watched it and I do not remember any "regressive messages".

Every film on the planet is full of terrifying and regressive messages according to Rudolph.

Dude calm down and stop acting like a freak and listen,

Evil Dead rise will come in like October or November of this year i will predict that it will have a 35% rotten rating on rotten tomatoes because fans and critics will just tear the fuck out of it for not having Ash Williams and poor grasp of the source material.

just because one 16-year-old writes his opinions about movie franchises don't just attack them and act weird.

Its notorious how fickle the remakes for these George Romero films can be. I think that the Night of the Living Dead remake from 1990 could also qualify, in not that its a bad film per se, but it's pretty much a shot-for-shot retread of the original save for some twists that are few and far in between, so to call it unambitious would be an understatement.

Gonna make a controversial statement and say that I honestly don't find Dawn Of The Dead all that appealing, it's just not even close to as well written or well acted as Day Of The Dead, which I think is Romero's best film by far. Night Of The Living Dead is somewhat dry to me, it's a trailblazer movie, but I think the remake was actually a worthwhile effort, even if not entirely perfect, I really like Tony Todd's performance, I really like the music, and I like the sets and visuals. Tom Savini directed the remake, and he used to hate it because of these two studio douches who kept fucking with his production and nixing this and that, making decisions behind his back at every turn, and so his memories of the shoot are frustrating and unpleasant, and he didn't want to even think about the thing.

One day though, many, many years later, he sits down and watches it for the hell of it, and he finds he had actually made a pretty satisfying movie despite the effort of the suits, even though he didn't get to do all of the stuff he really wanted to try. Dawn Of The Dead's remake isn't as good (the actors just aren't of the same caliber), but it's overall pretty ok, particularly if you aren't very attached to the original.

 

Day Of The Dead's remake is a total dumpsterfire though, 0/10.

I haven't seen the original Day Of The Dead in a long while but every now and then I tune in to this:

I think I only played Fistful Of Boomsticks, which was kind of a chore to play for me (I actually recall Bruce Campbell said it sucked). Unless you count Army Of Darkness Doom, which I think has above average level design for its time.

Definitely would not call Evil Dead a fucked series though, that more belongs to series like Highlander, where almost the entire franchise is trash garbage barring like two entries, and every new sequel was yet worse.

I can also think of Wrong Turn and The Crow as screwed-up series that showed an interesting potential at first.

I can think of home alone as a screwed-up series after home alone 2.

Hellraiser is another. Two really excellent movies and then it just spirals as the studio attempts to chase the Freddy Krueger money with Pinhead. Trying to use him as a slasher villain is just the worst idea in the world.

So the series is fucked because of a movie that has not even been released yet, that you hope will bomb on Rotten Tomatoes and therefore ruin the franchise because of some reason. Thank you for clarifying.

 

I like how being a hardc0r3 tr00 fan of something these days means acting like a cynical wanker and hoping for failure when a franchise more than twice as old as you attempts to do anything different. "Gather round and commence the review bombing for the glory of cinema!!!".

What the fuck???

I'm having a hard time even thinking of one, honestly. If this thread was about garbage sequels, I'd be here all day listing them. Remakes though? Any of them I've seen in the last decade or so tend to be really damn forgettable because they almost always to deviate from or mutate the source material so much, they barely resemble the original film at all. I don't really go out of my way to watch remakes these days, especially of movies I love. I could mention a couple of awesome examples of remakes that took the bumbling original and remade them into gold, but that would be off-topic.

 

I'll edit this post if any come to mind, I suppose lmao.

I don't even know, was the most recent one where they're going to #cancelLeatherface in that bus? :D

 

I watched the shit out of 2003 remake Behind the scenes DVD since that movie was the only thing my dad refused to let me watch for some reason.

I remember reading how they had to cope with summer heat and all the gory decorations on the filming set (the real house) and it made them all feel sick, lol.

 

And to be fair towards the franchise it's featuring a bunch of kickass actors: Dennis Hopper, Ken Foree and R. Lee Ermey.

Instead of a worst movie remakes thread, we should alternately have a best movie remakes thread. Why? Because I feel that most remakes tend to be inferior, if not downright terrible and I would actually like to one about ones that do justice to the original works.

Even Home Alone 2 is not exactly what I would call great: the bit in the hotel is fun, but the rest of the movie is just a blatant rehash of the first movie.
