yeah i figure that the ring is going to sweep this, but the hills have eyes and last house on the left and a couple others (NO NOT PSYCHO) deserve some votes too

The Hills Have Eyes is a great film.

Although the Kaufman "Body Snatchers" and Cronenberg's "The Fly" are strong contenders here as well.

Oh shit, I didn't realize that there were going to be OLD remakes in here. From the first few, I figured it was all going to be 2000s remakes.

The Ring is such crap.

Really liked The Crazies remake.

I was avoiding the crazies remake but I've heard good things about it. Hmmm....
Dark water wasn't horror! At least not to me, it could have been a lifetime movie and it made me cry (which is pretty embarassing now I think about it) at the end.

I file Crazies with Cellular and Red Eye and Phone Booth. It's no-bullshit B-movie goodness.

the thing vs the fly, if you read the entire list

the ring, if you hate old movies like a dummy

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

bumping so this gets more than 10 votes hopefully

Got to be Carpenter's "The Thing", which totally transforms the source and goes back to the original novel. Though I have to say I'll be surprised if I enjoy another movie more than "The Wolfman" this year - 100% old school!

Soukesian, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 22:17 (fourteen years ago) link

The Fly, followed by The Thing.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 14 April 2010 22:45 (fourteen years ago) link

The Thing followed by the Fly followed by Invasion.
