BEST AND WORST REMAKES: WORST #10 - PSYCHO It’s a disastrous experiment, but I guess someone had to try it. PSYCHO (1998) is about as close to a shot-for-shot remake of the original as anyone's [...]

BEST REMAKES: #11 - RoboCop The RoboCop remake is a perfect example of the “trashing something before you see it” mentality, a mentality I am as guilty of as the next guy. RoboCop (1987) is without [...]

WORST REMAKES: #11 - POLTERGEIST It all comes down to the fucking clown. In the original Poltergeist, the clown doll was a normal childhood toy (most likely Carol Anne’s) that happened to be a source of [...]
