Most Underrated Movie Remakes

The Top Ten
1 Night of the Living Dead (1990)

I love it even more than original. Great remake

2 Swept Away (2002)
3 House of Wax (2005)

Loved this remake! Only reason it coped so much slack was because of Paris.

The movie was good.. Paris Hilton was good in it too!

Paris Hilton was the only problem here. Everything else was ok

4 The Getaway (1994)

Decent but can't be compared to the fantastic Original. Alec Baldwin replacing Steve McQueen? Kim Basinger ( altough a wonderful actress ) can't compete with the outstanding performance of Ali McGraw in this movie. But, yes, a decent remake after all but it can be also that the script and story of this movie is fantastic to begin with. Maybe with less talented actors than A. Baldwin and K. Basinger it would still be a good remake. Who knows?

Decent action with Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin

5 Black Christmas

Original because movie is one of the best horror films of the 70's. This one was weaker but still good

6 Body Snatchers (1993)

Almost as good as previous 2 films

7 Point of No Return (1993)

Superb remake of Luc Besson's Nikita - great action-packed scenes and nice acting from Bridget Fonda

8 The Fog (2005)

Tom Welling and Maggie Grace showed a very bad acting but the movie itself, wasn't that bad

9 Fright Night (2011)

Colin played a believable vampire. Pretty good frights in this movie

10 Get Carter (2000)

Seriously, I like this film

The Contenders
11 The Karate Kid (2010)
12 The Haunting (1999)

Not as bad as critics said

13 Thirteen Ghosts
14 The Crazies (2010)
15 Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)
16 RoboCop (2014)

Come on. It was a solid entertainment with great action and message. Deserves more than 48% on Rotten.

17 Psycho (1998)
18 The Wicker Man (2006)
19 Halloween (2007)
