I love how those remakes had a bigger budget than the originals, yet still failed epicly.

Black Christmas 2019 is just unforgivable

I really HATE with a passion is “A Nightmare on Elm Street” (2010) and the remake of “Poltergeist” (2015). I want to pull my eyes out with a dull needle

Damn a lot of people DO NOT like that 2008 remake of Prom Night, but that movie always has a special place for me simply because it is the first horror film that my wife and I watched together back in 2014 during a thunderstorm and actually the movie I asked her out to while watching, so it’s one of those movies that we constantly revisit especially every yearly anniversary

You saved me from the new new Black Christmas. I was on my way to the theatre to go see it when I put your review of it on in the car, and lost all desire to see it. Sorry you took one for the team, but thank you for saving me from it.

Psycho 1998 and The Omen 2006 are the laziest remakes ever made. But Black Christmas 2019 is the absolute worst horror film ever.

*Concerning the "Psycho" remake:* The value of a shot-for-shot remake is in what we can learn from it, rather than how good it is. In this case, this was the first time I *really* realized the impact of different performances in the exact same character roles. It showed that even with the same story, music, and cinematography, different actors' performances can drastically change the movie.

The thing that I hate about a lot of modern day remakes is that they look so POLISHED. They’re empty, devoid of any soul, it’s just empty special effects with a bright and shiny coat of paint. It doesn’t work.

I’m glad you actually acknowledged the obvious subtext that Freddy was always a predator, not just a murderer. It’s the reason I never hated the choice to highlight that more in the remake. Honestly, I’m still confused why it’s such an issue. The remake has plenty to complain about. I don’t really get people losing it over that particular non-change.

The thing with remakes is that there is an "audience" out that refuses to watch "old" movies and yeah easy cash grabs

I love this channel so much. I love you, Cody. Wait what?

It doesn’t get worse than the The Prom Night and The Fog remakes

I noticed that, especially when it came to the horror remakes in the 2000s, the stuff that they added was answering questions that we either didn't have or didn't care to have explained. None of that was enough to consider them "original".

John Carpenters Halloween is my favorite horror movie of all time, and I enjoy rob zombies take on it.

I had zero expectations for Black Christmas 2019 going in but still felt disappointed in the end. Movies like that truly make you wonder who gave them the green light

Found your channel a while back through your Friday The 13th remake review, was glad to see someone actually defend it

2:18 And "KILLING ME WON'T BRING BACK YOUR GODDAMN HONEY."

First, I am very surprised Pet Seminary didn't make the cut.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) always #1 and it's sad.

Freddy was actually pretty good in the Nightmare remake. The story though.... wooooof 😓😓😓🙁🙁🙁🙁

I love hearing how shit black Christmas 2019 really is

I start to think that I'm the only one that actually REALLY enjoys the first Black Xmas remake.

I’m still in the process of watching your 7 hour Blu ray video Cody

I’d say that 2013 remake of Carrie should be in here.

Im always head banging to the intro😂

Also, you forgot the universal worst remake ever: One Missed Call

9:38 I also hated the whole "micro naps" thing which was just a convenient excuse for Freddy to pop up even when characters weren't sleeping.

To be fair tho, in the first four nightmare on elm street films, sure we wanted to see freddy ripping people apart, and sure we rooted for freddy, but the victims were so well-written that you could root for people lile nancy and rod and kristen as well.

The original The Fog is one of my all time favorite films. It had some problems, sure, but it's nowhere bad as Carpenter himself makes it out to be (he's not fond of the movie). The remake, on the other hand...I want to vomit just thinking about it. The Elm Street remake is a guilty pleasure of mine, as it was the first Elm Street movie I saw and it introduced me to the original franchise.

I can agree with Cody's feelings about the "Nightmare" and "Prom Night" remakes, especially "Prom Night". I hated that they tried to use the "Prom Night" name just to tell their own story. If they had been more original and given it a different name instead of marketing it as a remake, I probably would've enjoyed it just a bit more. I much prefer Jamie Lee Curtis' original version.

Personally I’ve never been high on the rob zombie Halloween. I see what he was going for and definitely respect the effort he put into it, just not my cup of tea

3:27 Rob Zombie tries to make you both feel sorry for and scared of his version of Michael but accomplishes neither because in the remake Michael was clearly an animal killing psychopath who eventually started killing people who just happened to grow up in a shitty family and get bullied at school not because of it.

Great list. Will add that the OG Prom Night is actually still pretty good. Never loved it when I first saw it but re-visited it recently and had a really good time. The kills are all pretty sad as the characters are mostly likable too.

Yeah, Myers didn't need a past to begin with, he's The Shape. I would have to add Cabin Fever, both Day of the Dead movies, and (One Missed Call, Shutter, The Eye).

This was a cool list. I agree with your picks, I didn't mind Prom Night remake, but totally get why people hate it. I haven't seen Black Christmas 2019, but I can tell I would hate it. So here's my top ten. 10. The Fog 9. 13 Ghosts 8. House of Wax 7. Nightmare on Elm Street 6. Halloween 5. Black Xmas 4. The House on Haunted Hill 3. April Fools Day 2. And Soon the Darkness (this film did the unforgivable, it wasted Karl Urban!) 1. Psycho Thank you Cody, looking forward to part 2.

I couldn’t agree more! I remember waiting years for nightmare on elm street and poltergeist remakes just thinking about all the the things they could do. Instead they leave out the best scenes to revamp and the ones they attempted to redo were so lazy!

Great rant, Cody. I personally would have to put Nightmare on Elm Street as #1, but I haven’t seen your top 3 on this and...maybe I should just give them a miss? 🤣🤣

If you’re in the mood to watch Psycho in color, just watch Bates Motel. That show rocked.

And that's why child's play remake was a good remake, Oh Cody in your nightmare on elms street remake review you was gonna talk about the freddy's make-up but you never did.

Thanks for the great content as always brother!

Admittedly I adore the first remake of Black Xmas because of how fucked up it is. I hate Christmas and the only thing that I look forward too each year is to watch a handful of Christmas horror movies. That consists of The original Black Christmas, The 2006 Remake, Silent night deadly night and its reboot.

I think Rob zombie’s Halloween two should’ve been on there for sure though because that one’s way worse than his first one he did

I love it Cody! You got me laughing. Thank YOU. I Enjoy watching your Videos. My fiancée passed away recently. So I am grateful to at least to finally laugh at anything. I cry and feel sad all the time. So You made my morning a little better. Thank you Cody Leach. xo Jennifer

YES! I love the shout-out to John Carpenter's The Fog. Such an underrated classic. Planning on taking a trip later this year or next year to the Point Reyes Lighthouse just because the scenery from what I've heard is almost identical since it's protected land.

Damn you saw NOES 3 times in the theater!? God bless you for that, brother.

I really liked the Halloween remake. Its not a good remake, but i do think its a good/decent movie

My 11 WORST Horror Remakes would be: 11. Quarantine (American remake of REC) 10. Black Christmas 2019 (I actually have grown somewhat of an appreciation for the Black X Mas 2006 thanks to THAT 2019 travesty) 9. Prom Night 2008 (PG-13 SLASHERS NEVER WORK IDIOTS AT HOLLYWOOD) 8. Poltergeist 2015 (Saw this movie in theatres and man I remember stomping out pissed, thankfully I went and saw Mad Max Fury Road a few days after) 7. When A Stranger Calls 2006 (Same as Prom Night 2008, a PG-13 shit fest) 6. The Omen 2006 (a shot for shot rehash of the 1976 masterpiece from the director of Max Payne and the WORST Die Hard Movie 'A Good Day To Die Hard") 5. The Fog 2005 (TOTAL DISGRACE) 4. A Nightmare On Elm Street 2010 (Easily the worst slasher movie ever created in history and insult to Wes Craven's best work) 3. Cabin Fever 2016 (The original film wasn't really a masterpiece but is a pretty guilty pleasure and not really meant to be one AT LEAST. The 2016 remake is so pointless, and was not even needed I mean Cabin Fever isn't even that old) 2. The Wicker Man 2006 (NO NOT THE BEES, NOT THE BEES< AAAAAH!!!! My eyes, My eyes!!!! AAAAAAH!!!! Better to watch as an unintentional comedy than a horror film.) 1. PSYCHO 1998 (Hands Down the #1 WORST Horror REMAKE in history) Dishonourable mentions Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007) The Vanishing 1993 The Thing 2011 The Hitcher 2007 The Eye 2008 What do you think of my list?

Excellent video! And you absolutely nail exactly why that Halloween remake doesn't work.

I don’t like the remake of Carrie. It looks well-made, the performances are quite good (Julianne Moore, especially. I think she was terrifying as Margaret White), but again nothing was changed from the OG. I don’t buy Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie either, she’s too conventionally pretty. She would’ve been a regulation hottie by default in real life, not an outcast. Sissy Spacek was pretty too, but not in the traditional all-American girl way Chloe is. Carrie is a story dear to my heart and very personal to me. Having someone with modelesque looks play the “ugly girl” really rubs me the wrong way for a number of reasons.

☝🏾I’m one of those people who will watch Black XMas as a guilty pleasure ! 😭🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s So Vibrant! 😂

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2. Black Christmas 2019 3. When a Stranger Calls

John Moore’s Oman Remake, Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2, The Amazing Spider-Man , The Fog Remake , The Grudge Remake , The Wicker Man Remake, Carrie 2013, The Amytiville Horror Remake, The Black Christmas 2019, One Missed call, Poltergeist Remake,

That nightmare on Elm Street remake with Freddie looking like an alien was horrible

As a huge fan of the Romero Day of the dead from 1985, I can't stand the direct to DVD remake they did a while back

10:55 I literally cheered at the end where Freddy killed Nancy’s mom

Only 16 minutes? What happened? I was waiting for a 9 hour epic! Keep up the great content!

Mine is Black Christmas (2019).

Ps don't think the makers of black Christmas 2019 wanted to make a good movie - they just wanted to make a 90 mins woke public service announcement

Yessir! I loved the video Cody 🔥

Been meaning to say this for a while but I love your intro music bro lol

After rewatching Black X-Mas, I found myself enjoying it, even though it's no where near the original

This will be an awesome series 👍

I agree on every level on all films you mentioned. The fog I also only made it through once, I bought it the day it released and it remains on my DVD shelf 15 years later untouched.

Proud to say that I've NOT watched one movie on this list! There are very few remakes that I think are worth watching. Most are a way to create a quick cash grab without having to do the hard work of actually being creative. Take someone elses concept, throw in some ridiculous CGI & sit back while the money falls into your lap. AND Jesus Christ don't get me started on freaking Rob Zombie...I'm ashamed to even admit that I paid money to see House of 1000 Corpses in the theater & felt disgusting all the way home! I'm still on the fence about The Exorcist remake....Any thoughts on that one??

I actually couldn’t disagree with you more about the first act of Rob Zombies Halloween. I absolutely LOVED it and I think it carried the whole movie. The kills were incredibly realistic and gruesome and I l loved the glimpse we got into his childhood. Still love your reviews and a difference in opinion is what makes this all interesting to discuss. Keep up the awesome work!!

Ik I’m probably a minority in this but I actually really like rob zombies Halloween remake it was the second horror movie I ever seen and is what got me into Michael Myers and horror to begin with although I haven’t seen it since I was probably 9 or 10 so it might not still hold up but from what I remember it was a decent movie

10. pulse (2006) 9. Martyrs (2015) 8. Inside (2016) 7. Cabin fever (2016) 6. The fog (2005) 5. Wicker man (2006) 4. Jacobs ladder (2019) 3. April fools day (2008) 2. Day of the day (2008) 1. Black Christmas (2019) Dishonorable mention leprechaun origins, the eye, one missed call,

My picks (no order) The Fog, Black Christmas 2019, Nightmare on Elm Street, Psycho, Prom Night, Carrie, Flatliners, Friday the 13th 2009, Rob Zombie's Halloween, The Wicker Man

I completely forgot the remake of the fog even existed lol. God that movie was awful!!!! But the 2019 black christmas would be easily number one for me as well. Me and my fiance went to go see it in theaters and we couldn't even finish it. Then i came home and watched your review of it cody

Lmao Cody is by far my favorite reviewer it doesnt matter what it is, its entertaining as hell to watch him review it!

As a teenager, I was infuriated that the remakes The Fog, When a Stranger Calls, and PROM NIGHT got my money. At 15 years old, I finally realized that Hollywood was pissing on old properties just to profit. Halloween 2007 and Friday the 13th weren’t *AS* bad and had redeeming qualities, but 2 decent films out of an entire decade of poor remakes is awful.

@Cody Leach Here's another lesson that we can all learn from these remakes. That lesson is: If your Horror Remake features a actor, who was on a show from the CW, it is almost guaranteed that Horror Remake will suck balls.

It’s a tie between the remake of a nightmare on elm street and pet sematary

I’ve never seen the OG version of Prom Night I’ve only seen the remake and I’ve always enjoyed the remake I love the hotel setting and I also love how the killer gets his victims in a private area and gets them 1 by 1

It is funny regarding Nelson McCormick's "Prom Night (2008)", you said in your collection video that you enjoyed Nelson McCormick's successor "Stepfather (2009)". But it is indeed better received than "Prom Night (2008)". So actually it all comes together.

Rob Zombies Halloween 1 and 2 Remakes are terrible some aspects are good but can't beat the originals

@Cody Leach We need to see a top 10 best horror remakes 😂

I enjoyed Black Xmas a lot

I had a free ticket for the Elm Street remake in theatres and I wanted my money back after it

For a long time, I had no idea prom night was a remake. I remember watching it in the theater and being on the edge of my seat the whole time. One remake however I did not enjoy that much was my bloody valentine, I only saw it cuz of Jensen Ackles. And yeah, a nightmare on elm street could’ve been done a lot better. The only thing I liked about that movie was Jackie Earle Haley. Can’t wait to see your next video!

Have you seen Stranger Things on Netflix? I think u might enjoy it.

I think I know two people who would like the "Black Christmas" 2019 "remake" Kathleen Kennedy and Brie Larson.

As much as I hate the NOES remake, I can atleast give credit to Jackie Earl Haley. The Prom Night remake is just plain forgettable and Pet Sematary almost bored me to tears. Great video as usual Cody! Going on to part 2 right now 😄

It’s crazy how u have 55k subs I remember first watching u when u had 7k!

Loved Rob Zombie’s Halloween

I like the Halloween remake and the Omen remake, as far as my worst horror remakes goes, here's my list 1. Spiders (2013) 2. One Missed Call (2008) 3. Prom Night (2008) 4. The Stepfather (2009) 5. House of Wax (2006) 6. The Fog (2005) 7. Nightmare on Elm street (2010) 8. Psycho (1998) 9. Thirteen Ghosts (2001) 10. When a Stranger calls (2006)

Great list 10. Rob Zombie's Halloween 9. Psycho 8. Carrie 7. Nightmare on Elm Street 6. The Hitcher 2007 5. The Grudge 2020 4. Prom Night 3. When a Stranger Calls 2. The Fog 1. Black Christmas 2019

I liked Halloween. It has a sense of realism.

This channel is 🔥...u go hard af

I skip a lot of movies these days because I don't want them to spoil the original.

Did you ever think that when the Remake for Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out (that’s the first I can remember being excited about and seeing in the theatre etc.) that we would be at a point in our lives that it seems like there are more remakes than original ideas? Just wild to think of how many there are and when TCM came out there’s no way I could have imagined that basically every franchise would get a redo

I have some kind of morbid curiosity about Black Christmass 2019. I want to experience this movie just so I can say yes, listen to the critics, its that bad. See it on crave every day but can't make my mind.

Top most in-the-middle horror films, that you don't really like, but also don't dislike, it's just on middle-ground

Great review big man, cheers

I agree with the Zombie remake, but it was also my first Halloween movie experience (that I remember). I saw the original when I was a little kid, but by the time I watched the remake in about 2009 (when I was 11), it scared the holy shit out of me. And I still love his directing style. It's just the writing that drags his movies down for me. 90% of the issues are dialogue

I refuse to watch Black Christmas 2019! Hate the Fog remake too. Great reviews Cody 👌

Yeah that Freddy coming through the wall scene just made me so disappointed. That practical effect cost Wes Craven like $3. Digital effects are more expensive, look way worse, and horror fans can spot digital blood every time.

Rob Zombie's "Halloween" remake. Sorry folks, but YUCK. The first half hour was like somebody watched a Hillbilly Horror movie and combined that dialogue with dialogue from Deep Throat. It wasn't even over the top in an entertaining way......it was so hard to stomach I had to turn it off 40 minutes into it. So, so bad.

I love the Halloween Remake, after you skip the first act. The Wicker Man is another guilty pleasure of mine. But like you said, there is nothing "horror" in that movie.

What is the song in the credits of your vid?
