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:

can anyone think of ones missing from this list?
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.
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.
yeah as a concept I don't really agree with remakes at all but there are a few I do like- although they tend to be pre-2000 remakes, i.e. THE FLY
