I have a hard time deciding on number one, but I have 4 top choices:
The Thing
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Fly
Hills Have Eyes
Texas was the first remake since the 80s that really caught my attention. Personally I always thought it was better than the original.

I'll assume you're referring to the Little Shop of Horrors with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin? That's not a remake, it's an adaptation of a stage musical, which was, in turn, based on the original film.
Exactly. Boo.share
the ring? really?!?
shareThe Ring is AMAZING! One of the only 3 horror films to scare me (Alongside Black Christmas original & Silent Hill)

RZH2 isn't a remake, but I think it was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. The actual remake was a lot better, but still not awesome.

Rob Zombie's Halloween II is one of the worst movies I've seen and I've seen lots. There is no plot, its basically two hours of the sister screaming while Michael chases her through run-down houses.

No, the plot is that the reason he kills has to do with the old Celtic ritual of samheim which is where the holiday of Halloween came from. In this ritual the person must kill every member if their family in order to rid away evil spirits which is why he only attacks on Halloween. It's not clearly explained in the first but if you watch the rest it is explained.
shareNo one has the nerve to remake The Exorcist.

I can't believe someone mentioned rob zombies Halloween 2 on here. Literally the *beep* movie. Terrible.
shareI agree absolutely terrible.
My fav would be dawn of the dead, tcm would be a close second, & the hills have eyes
Dude, Zombie's first Halloween was BORING as hell. But I was pleasantly surprised with Halloween II, even if the plot was convoluted as all hell, there was still something weirdly entertaining about it.
