Last post by Alex - Today at 04:56:25 AMTo be honest I didn't look any further into it than laughing at people believing in AI that much. I can't tell you if any historians agree or disagree with it.

Bad Movies / Re: post-2000 remakes of 70s &...
Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 02:37:52 AMI addressed WILLARD and SILENT NIGHT above... thanks for the rest. 
AND SOON THE DARKNESS might be the single biggest gulf in terms of quality between original and remake. I think someone should've been punished for that 2010 version
didn't include THE THING because of it being described as a prequel, (but I haven't seen it), and thought Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN was enough of its own movie to not be a remake,but that was just my impression on my one lone viewing.
can't believe I forgot the EVIL DEAD remake, doh! didn't like it personally but it seemed to have a strong fanbase

TERROR TRAIN (2022) — A Tubi original remake of the 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis slasher.
