8 Horror Films That Hollywood Should Remake Soon

Should any film ever be remade? Well, Hollywood certainly thinks so, and there seems to be an unending supply of directors who think they can improve on what’s gone before. Whatever the final result, and of course every filmmaker sets out to make the best film they can, the new production will always be subjected to the harshest scrutiny when compared with an often loved original. Clearly unfazed by any potential negativity, studio execs seem convinced that the most suitable target for remakes is the good old horror flick.

8) Lifeforce (1985)

Director Tobe Hooper is a bonafide legend of the horror genre. With a filmography that includes The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist, it is almost impossible to argue with that title.

In 1985 though, Hooper tried to do so himself with the release of the briefly interesting, but predominantly dull Lifeforce. Space vampires arriving in London to suck out the energy from unsuspecting humans promised something truly interesting, but somehow the lifeforce was also sucked out of the film (apologies).

This is another of those movies that contains an interesting premise that is badly realized, and as such is ripe for the remake pot.
