Bad:

Conan the Barbarian (2011), 

Ugly:
The Haunting (1999),

I wasn't even aware they remade CONAN !

I agree with the HAUNTING remake.  Whatta load.


More-
GOOD
Vincent Price's HOUSE OF WAX (1953) was an excellent remake of Lionel Atwill's MYSTERY IN THE WAX MUSEUM (1933).
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS  (1978) was just as good as the 1956 version.

BAD
The OLD DARK HOUSE (1963) made a mockery of James Whales 1932 creepy classic.

UGLY
HOUSE OF WAX (2005) Dam. 2 words-Paris Hilton. UGH!
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

WHY?

Because they really don't get it. They are trying to make a buck pandering to BAD movie fans- dumb f**ks are just trying to make money on our thing.
Called lowest common denominator. :lookingup:
They end up doing just the opposite-being reviled by the community they try to infiltrate.
We are not stupid people. We know bad from BAD.  :drink:

The Good: KING KONG (1933)
The Bad:   KING KONG  (1976)
The Ugly:  KING KONG  (2005) Gorgeous film that is going down that road.  Isn't KONG a monster?  In the first film he grabs a girl out of her window and drops her in the street. 

If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

I had never known there'd been a plan 9 remake till I saw it referred to here. I had to look it up.

Damn you for mentioning it!!!!!! :wink:
