Best Horror Remakes
I'm a HUGE fan of horror movies and I watched plenty of horror remakes, so I think I'm the right person to make such a list like this.
Feel free to give me a few suggestions if I missed any notable titles for I will be updating frequently as I "discover" more good horror remakes. The Last House on the Left (2009) is NOT a horror movie, in my opinion. That's why it's not here, on my list.
I'm also waiting for these horror remakes:
