Settling down on the sofa for a bit of classic horror & found The Omen, 5 mins in and wait a god damn minute this isn’t the 1976 supernatural film we remember…… nope remade in 2006 -

What other films got a pointless remake?

Was going to say total recall.

Pretty much all remakes are pointless unless they really go big and CGI the fuck out of it.

The remake was terrible. But they also got 10 fast and furious films from ripping off the same script.

Same guy from it is in a film called 'I saw the Devil' that is worth watching too.

Totally agree. There have been lots of bad remakes.

But one so bad, for a movie that is still so good??

I’ve never seen the point in re-doing movies that are iconic, the result is only ever going to be a let down.

The 2008 French original version of Martyrs is the most brutal and unsettling horror film so far this century.

The 2015 US remake is utter shite.

This gets my vote too, the remake was crushingly dull with none of the wit of the original.
