Red Dawn [2012]

Red Dawn
Dan Bradley
1/8

I was wrong! It’s the DPRK!

Mindblowingly bad, but literally everyone from the Eighties is in it. I wonder, is this the film Canadian Bacon parodies? I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that in the 2012 remake, it’s Iran that invades murrica.

Blow-Up [1966]

Blow-Up
Michelangelo Antonioni
2/6

Boring! Turns out this is the make of a remake I saw earlier—Blow Out [1966]—and a rare case of remake out-performing make.

Death at a Funeral [2010]

Death at a Funeral
Neil LaBute
1/6

Sometimes I wonder why I do this. As usual, Hollywood remakes only to add more annoy.

Death at a Funeral [2007]

Death at a Funeral
Frank Oz
3/5

A bit Arsenic and old lace, but not too bad, for a comedy.

The Blob [1988]

The Blob
Chuck Russell
2/6

What can I say? Horrtober was sort of working, and I bought Escape from Tarkov.

The Blob [1958]

The Blob
Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr.
3/6

The original cheese.

Blood Feast [2016]

Blood Feast
Marcel Walz
1/6

Make it 50% longer, strip the charm to make it gritty and Real™, let sit until stale.

Blood Feast [1963]

Blood Feast
Herschell Gordon Lewis
1/2

I totally forgot about horrtober! Luckily it’s only the third. Apparently Herschell Gordon Lewis is the American Fulci, and still someone I’ve never really encountered.

I can sorta see the charm, but it hasn’t aged well, if I’m brutally honest.

Trudno byt bogom [2013]

Trudno byt bogom
Aleksey German
3/6

Indeed we could! It’s a bit of a cheat, though. I guess this is more a separate adaptation than a straight remake, really. I’m still counting it!
