IMO Children of the Corn (1984) should be remade because the concept is great but the movie itself is terrible. I assumed it was some sort of horror classic because it's so well-known and has an iconic poster, but then I actually watched it and, yeesh. feels like a bad TV movie
what are some other movies that deserve a remake because they have a good concept but bad execution?
oh yeah it's wild to me that they adapted RE and did absolutely nothing with the spooky mansion. the underground research lab is a cool setting for a zombie movie too, but they shoulda saved that for the sequel or something
Check out the japanese movie Sweet Home, it had a game too on the famicom. Resident Evil was heavily inspired by that movie and game.
nice, I haven't heard of that one. though there is a different Japanese haunted house movie that I love, House (1977)
It's in the vein of that but not nearly as camp, I think, I still have to see House.
You should also see the unrelated American film, House (1985)
It's a weird, almost slapstick horror movie where the villain of the piece is literally
spoiler
The Vietnam War
oh yeah House is absolutely camp, in the best way possible. it's absolutely bonkers and one of my favorite movies of all time
