Gus Van Sant has made some of the most thought provoking films ever. Then he decided to make an exact shot for shot remake of sacred ground, but decided to miscast Anne Heche and Vince Vaughn in their iconic roles. It came off as a mockery.

Saw this a little while back and wasn't as good as I remembered. Story sounds great, the idea of a Great White Shark at an aquarium causing havoc...but the effects look very dated now. Maybe a remake project with Deep blue sea effects would be better!!

Just as good as the first pretty much, if maybe not quite as tense or shocking. Very gory and violent, just like the first and similar to the Hills have eyes remake. If you can handle the gore and are a horror fan you'll enjoy this.

2024 remake of the (in)famous last-ever Brandon Lee film - he was accidentally killed during filming - which, I have to say, makes you wonder why they even bothered.

This is ploddingly slow, and missing just about any element that made the original what it was.

Avoid.

2016 remake of an 1960 Western (which I haven't seen), with that original often held up as one of the best Westerns out there and with it itself a remake (of sorts) of an earlier Seven Samurai's film (also haven't seen).

As such, I can't say how closely this compares to either of those two earlier films.

this one, however, has the always reliable Denzel Washington leading a disparate group of cowboys and Indians that includes man-of-the-(then)-moment Chris Pratt alongside a pre-Daredevil (TV version, that is) Vincent D'Onofrio against Ethan Hawke's ruthless gold miner, who is terrorising a small village.

Dont Mess With The Fmaily
The Last House on the Left- is a good remake, but the oringal is better. Did "The Last House on the Left", need a remake, i would say kinda of. Its not that nesscary to make one, but hollywood did anyway.

The plot: The film follows the parents (Goldwyn and Potter) of Mari Collingwood (Paxton), who attempt to get revenge on a group of strangers, led by a man named Krug (Dillahunt), that have taken shelter at their home during a thunderstorm.

I think Sara Paxton, Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter all did a excellent job.

Its a good movie, just not that nesscary.

This remake of the 1989 version, changed a lot from the oringal version.

Dr. Louis Creed and his wife, Rachel, relocate from Boston to rural Maine with their two young children. The couple soon discover a mysterious burial ground hidden deep in the woods near their new home. When tragedy strikes, Louis turns to his neighbour Jud Crandall, setting off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unspeakable evil with horrific consequences.

Instead of the son dying, now its their daugther who dies. The ending is soo scary, the cast is great. Overall its a great remake to a already great oringal fim.
