great ghost story very moody, btw great movie list!
All major studios look to popular films to remake when it would actually make more sense to redo a film that originally failed. That way you could improve on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I havent seen a few so I will look for them, thanks! :o)
ReplyDeleteI would ad: The Amityville Horror (1979), The Innocents (1961), Ju On: The Grudge, 1408 (hotel room not house thou), Dark Water (apartments), The Messengers, etc
