I was about to assume I hadn't seen any of those, because I don't like the whole concept, but I did see the new SUSPIRIA and liked it. Not as much as the original, of course, but it did do the most important thing a remake can do: it had almost nothing to do with the first one besides the basic setup.

Notes:

THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 (2007) is not a remake of THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 (1985)

According to the producers, WILLARD (2003) is apparently not a remake of WILLARD (1971). But it looks like it is.

SILENT NIGHT (2012) is a remake of SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984), but it doesn't have exactly the same title so didn't include it.

"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" (2016)
The daughter of the Empire's premier weapons designer joins the Rebellion and leads a mission to steal the plans for the in-progress Death Star in this prequel to the original 1977 film. Essentially it's an old fashioned war movie ala "The Dirty Dozen" in Star Wars wrapping, and it's still my favorite of the "new" round of S.W. movies.

Bad Movies / post-2000 remakes of 70s & 80s...

I racked my brains and then consulted wiki, and have come up with this list of horror remakes since the year 2000, of movies whose originals came out in either the 70s or the 80s.

not sequels, but I did let 'reboots' also count (however nearly all of these are billed or listed as remakes)

only real 'rule' here was they had to have exactly the same title as their original movie. (give or take a 'The')

in alphabetical order:

AMITYVILLE HORROR, THE (2005)
APRIL FOOLS DAY (2008)
BLACK CHRISTMAS (2006) + (2019)
CARRIE (2002) + (2013)
CHILDREN OF THE CORN (2009)
CHILD'S PLAY (2019)
CRAZIES, THE (2010)
DAWN OF THE DEAD (2004)
DAY OF THE DEAD (2008)
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (2010)
FRIDAY 13TH (2009)
FOG, THE (2005)
HILLS HAVE EYES, THE (2006)
HITCHER, THE (2007)
I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (2010)
IT'S ALIVE (2009)
LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (2009)
LONG WEEKEND (2008)
MANIAC (2012)
MY BLOODY VALENTINE (2009)
NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (2009)
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010)
OMEN, THE (2006)
PATRICK (2013)
PET SEMETARY (2019)
PIRANHA 3D (2010)
POLTERGEIST (2015)
PROM NIGHT (2008)
RABID (2019)
SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (2021)
STEPFATHER, THE (2009)
SUSPIRIA (2018)
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, THE (2003)
TOOLBOX MURDERS (2004)
WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (2006)
WICKER MAN, THE (2006)
WITCHBOARD (2024)
WIZARD OF GORE, THE (2007)


can anyone think of ones missing from this list?

466 movies last year. I might have hit 500 if September hadn't been so busy.

I'm with you, ZNO... I was skeptical as soon as I saw Cruise's unlikely transformation into Leonard Shelby (bleached blonde in a cream suit). Barry Shabaka Henley is masterful as the jazz musician near the beginning but after that, yeah, this plays out like any made-for-cable thriller. I feel like Mann is so confident in his abilities as a stylist that he often has no concern for the material.
