I remember that remake.
I mostly remember watching it, hoping it was going to be better than it turned out to be.

Ah, 90s television...
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., American Gothic (essential viewing), Brimstone (underrated), Babylon 5, Highlander (the first season and the last are rather disappointing, but the rest is great entertainment), X-Files...

Yes, I remember most of those title, though I was in grade school and didn't watch many of them because of content .
Pfft. I was watching horror films when I was a kid. I saw Predator as soon as it came out on video.
*sigh*
I guess I missed everyone, I'll be back in a week or so. Save me some newbie meat. to all ye horror hounds.
Or, maybe, we've just gotten worse at writing horror movies.
Fly (Goldblum variety) is as tense and smart as any horror from the 40s.
The sequel was.... well, what sequels frequently are.
Anymore, I have such a hard time enjoying them - too many plot holes that make me want to scream, or reliance on plot-induced stupidity to make it work. Or, maybe, we've just gotten worse at writing horror movies.
We passed our ISO 9000 audit with only 3 minor problems/issues! The auditor never even interviewed me saying only that he'd taken a look at a few of my Time Studies & Setups and everything looked neat and well-organized. I'd taken pains to reorganize everything so it looks like a file library and things aren't spread all over the place (like they were when I first got there).
And for some story ideas, this can work, but it shouldn't be a "one size fits all" storytelling philosophy. All too often, it's hard to fit a sensible story into your movie when it's packed nearly to bursting with "horror," "horror" and more "horror."
I remember watching The Woman in Black remake and thinking, "My God, this movie is trying so hard to scare me it's kind of annoying." Nobody in that movie could even open a door without making it look like they were about to enter the sub-basement of Hell. And I actually kind of liked it; it had a few genuinely inspired moments, but I liked the original more because it's more assured. It doesn't force the tension on you with music and abundant shadows. It lets the suitably mysterious and tense story do the work, then picks its spots and hammers it home only when it needs to.
