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?
I can't really recommend remakes because I know it'll just be handed to some fail-child fifth-rate joss whedon to make it cornier, more sociopathic, incomprehensible, and completely lose whatever charm the original even had, all this just to retain the IP, not to do anything good with it.
yeah maybe I should have phrased it as "what movie deserves a good remake", which is very unlikely to happen. but it has happened before, like with John Carpenter's The Thing and Werner Herzog's Nosferatu. And now Robert Eggers is remaking Nosferatu again, so that will probably be good as well.
