HEADPHONES Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 This 1978 remake of "Invasion of the body snatchers" gave me nightmares for weeks as a kid. Just this ending scene alone sends shivers down my spine despite the absence of gore or anyone jumping out to shock you What are your top tips for remakes that improved on the original?

Expand I’ve just realised that due to my age I don’t consider the latest remake of TMS to be a thing, which is potentially dangerous for younger viewers, I was referring to the Brynner/McQueen version as the superior remake.

Jay84 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I know it's a different genre (ok ok it's for kids), but I thought the most recent turtles film was better than the 90's film. I think as cgi has got better it allows for better films in instances like these. In a similar trend, I'd fly the flag for the It remake.
