Missing Remakes (70s/80s Originals)
AND SOON THE DARKNESS (2010) — Remake of the 1970 British thriller/horror.
CHILDREN OF THE CORN (2020) — Kurt Wimmer's version (joining the 2009 remake you already have).
DON'T GO IN THE WOODS (2010) — A "slasher musical" remake of the 1981 cult classic.
EVIL DEAD (2013) — Fede Álvarez's reimagining of the 1981 original (give or take a "The").
FIRESTARTER (2022) — The Blumhouse remake of the 1984 Stephen King adaptation.
FRIGHT NIGHT (2011) — The remake of the 1985 vampire classic starring Colin Farrell.
HALLOWEEN (2007) — Rob Zombie's remake/reimagining of the 1978 masterpiece.

INITIATION OF SARAH, THE (2006) — A TV-movie remake of the 1978 telefilm.
MOTHER'S DAY (2010) — Darren Lynn Bousman's remake of the 1980 Troma film.
SALEM'S LOT (2004) + (2024) — Both are remakes of the 1979 miniseries (the 2024 version was a Max original).
SISTERS (2006) — Remake of the 1973 Brian De Palma film.
STRAW DOGS (2011) — Remake of the 1971 controversial home-invasion horror/thriller.
TERROR TRAIN (2022) — A Tubi original remake of the 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis slasher.
THING, THE (2011) — While technically a prequel, it was marketed and titled exactly like the 1982 original to function as a soft reboot.
TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN, THE (2014) — A meta-remake/sequel that shares the exact name of the 1976 original.
WILLARD (2003) — The rat-themed horror remake of the 1971 film, starring Crispin Glover.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Jim H - Today at 12:02:40 AMSide Effects May Vary (2024)- randomly saw this was directed by JR Bookwalter, director of The Dead Next Door and Robot Ninja. He hadn't directed in 20 years, so it was a woah moment. It's a COVID movie where an experimental COVID vaccine makes a guy start to disintegrate and crave human flesh. The effects work is almost entirely practical, and is... Fine. The film is more or less watchable. But it's not great, and is not nearly as interesting as the Dead Next Door. I dunno. It was OK I guess. A final act twist in the relationship of two side characters did make me perk up quite a bit even though it didn't end up mattering much.

First listen, though of course I'd heard the singles before.

I found this rather bizarre film on Peacock tonight. The Mad Hatter has imprisoned some homicidal versions of classic fairy tale/Disney princesses and forces them into a death match for the "privilege" of becoming his bride and ruling the realm of madness by his side. Bloody showdowns follow. Not terrible, but not great. 2.5/5 - 3/5

Producer Dino De Laurentiis tried to duplicate the success of the two "Conan" flicks with this spin off featuring the statuesque but wooden Brigitte Nielsen as the red-headed swordswoman. She battles a variety of bad guys and monsters on her quest to stop an evil queen who's stolen an artifact with immense destructive power.
Ahh-nuld appears in a supporting role as a character who is clearly supposed to be Conan, but isn't named "Conan," likely due to copyright issues. Legend has it that he considers this his worst film, and he only made it to fulfill his contract with De Laurentiis.
I was prompted to revisit this legendary flop after watching the godawful 2025 Sonja "reboot" last week, so I could compare the two. Make no mistake, they're both pretty terrible, but at least the '85 version was the "fun" kind of bad; the 2025 film was the cinematic equivalent of a root canal. If you absolutely must watch a Red Sonja movie (and I am not at all suggesting you do), make it this one.
