- There have been a ton of remakes to horror classics released over the past few decades. Many of which are some of my favorites while just as many are crimes against the horror genre. Here is how I rank 50 of the most prominent remakes in horror.

It’s so sad that you have to say that in the beginning of your video. I know that it is your opinion. Just like I say is that I love Freddy’s Dead The Final nightmare. That’s my opinion.
Completely agree on Friday the 13th remake and Amityville Horror. Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George are really good as is the creepy little girl. I actually really enjoy the Friday the 13th franchise even with as stupid as it gets but the remake was actually a good horror movie and easily the best of the lot. So pissed we didn't get a sequel to it. The Jason in that one absolutely dominates and is truly terrifying in his size and relentlessness.
While i do agree that the Texas Chainsaw remake is very good and enjoyable, i do still prefer the original by a slight edge. Rewatching that remake, it did totally creep me out that he was walking around with her boyfriend's face on. Other remakes i really like are Evil Dead, It Chapter 1(though i maintain that Tim Curry is still the Pennywise that gives me nightmares), Thirteen Ghosts, The Thing, The Fly, and The Blob. Red Dragon is...ok. Manhunter is so much better, imo. I am also probably the only person on the planet to think this but i vastly prefer Ringu to The Ring. I am not necessarily against American remakes but the original there just created an unnerving mood better to me.
Best horror remake, imo, is Let Me In. Matt Reeves has done no wrong as a film director and only appears to improve as he goes. His version of the vampire tale had me interested from the out.
@@samuelpagan1538Welcome to the internet
Wait I’m confuse you said the thing but didn’t they remade it recently you showed the thing from the 80s
And not the 2011 one
The Thing, The Fly and The Blob are like the 80s trifecta of perfect horror remakes with awesome practical gore.
A step down from that is Invaders From Mars, but it's still fun
Absolutely!
All three were GOAT status for me
💯
watched the blob remake after watching the original. i found the original to be very boring, having one dimensional characters. when i watched the remake i was taken aback about how GOOD it is, great characters, amazing practical effects, absolutely fun every minute
It’s great how Cody is doing Tier Rankings of topics that make a lot more sense in this format than just a regular ranking. It makes for great, engaging content, which is what Cody always delivers.
Agree love these tier Ranking
Always delivers quality content, probably the best on TH-cam
Yes he does.
Thirteen Ghosts had backstories for all of the ghosts as part of the DVD extras and it was absolutely fantastic.
This needs to be made into a series about the ghosts
@@lonerebeIwe’ve been asking for 20+ years.
@@dkres82 I know, it's crazy how they still haven't done this
@@lonerebeI it really is.
Would be a great TV series
I’m glad to see Evil Dead get the love and respect it deserves. Fede Alvarez absolutely crushed it
Texas Chainsaw, Hills Have Eyes, and Evil Dead are some the best horror films, and have the best remakes in my opinion
Let's hope he does it again with the new alien movie
I had a fun experience watching it in theaters and it's one of my favorite remakes.
I agree, even though I didn't like Evil Dead 2013 as a remake, it still stands on its own a decent horror flick. Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead, The Last House on the Left and My Bloody Valentine are great remakes as well. @@bo2720
@bo2720 personally I'd include Friday the 13th in that
Cody I dont know if you do anything else besides this Channel but I must say. Theres people saying making videos isnt a "real job" but I have a friend that does TH-cam videos.
The amount of HOURS he has to put in is insane. You clearly put a LOT of work in these videos and they are always good and very entertaining. Respect to you for your hard work!
Thank you
Have to be a self starter as well. It only works if you like it.
There’s other things nobody would take into account. Like watching all the damn hellraiser and saw movies
@@adamhoward4775 The Hellraiser movies after part 5; "We have such shites to show you!"
@@adamhoward4775exactly lol seems like to sitting around watching movies until it’s time to review and reflect on them.
As a massive Vincent Price fan, I would definitely recommend House on Haunted Hill and House of Wax; they are two very fun 50s horror films.
The Last Man on Earth isn't bad either, and it's been remade at least twice
@@dustywaynemusic6297 i enjoyed the hell out of The Last Woman on Earth as well
And the original 'The Fly' with Price as the brother! Love that one!
It's no where near as good but I liked the remake of house of wax
House of wax is fucking iconic.
Cody I just have to say that I’m loving these tier rankings. It gives me something to put on during my lunch break or when I’m doing homework. Keep up the great work!
I miss Black Christmas 2019 being such a meme for this channel. I'd love to see a remake of the review for this film just to see Cody rant.
The way he was so dead on with his review of that movie. I literally was in the theater wanting to leave, hoping at some point the movie would turn a corner but it didn't. Straight trash!
That movie was the biggest bunch of woke trash I've ever seen.
Another really engaging tier list video...this time I'd seen most of these films so it was fun to rank them. You explain your views on each film very well here and it always makes sense why you put it in that tier...awesome work.
Nice work Cody, keeping up the trend of giving us rankings we didn’t know we needed
We knew we needed this one that's why we kept asking for it
I don’t understand the hate of the 2009 Friday. I enjoyed every part of it and thought they did a great job of taking that classic into the new generation. It gave some explanation on how Jason travels so fas as well
Friday the 13th, The Thing, Evil Dead and Texas chainsaw will always be the best horror remakes. Child’s play is an underrated remake.
I agree, with exception to Child's Play.
I always say that if Child's Play hadn't been called "Child's Play" and just been it's own thing called Buddi or something I would've loved it. It's really fun
@@dustywaynemusic6297 Yeah, I could get behind that. Different name and a different look.
Exactly. It wasnt a Childs Play remake at all.
Childs play is one of the worst remakes of this decade, Friday the 13th isn't as good as the rest but not that bad
I love watching your videos when i'm taking a break from studying, thanks for uploading
100% agree with your opinion on Thirteen Ghosts. I absolutely love everything about that movie. It’s very underrated and overlooked in my opinion.
I just know this is gonna be a fire vid like every single Cody leach video
The man doesn't miss
The TCM remake was an insane theater watch. I was tripped out. One of my buddies kept making excuses to get up during the intense scenes. Love this movie.
Cody I like this long form style with you going into detail on each film. Good stuff dude!
I absolutely love that you gave props to The Dawn of the Dead,House on Haunted Hill,House of Wax, and Thirteen Ghosts!! I am right there with you that I am a firm believer that these are all underrated horror movies. Glad to see someone agrees!
Dawn of the Dead 1978 is my favourite horror movie of all time. The remake was an absolute gift to the fans of the original and works better for modern audiences. I have a massive amount of nostalgia for the original as my intro into the zombie sub genre and extreme gore. Great work as usual Cody.
well said
The remake is just about a completely different movie.
@magicjohnson3121 It's a zombie movie at a mall and that's it. It's a remake in name only but that's okay because copying the original too closely might have been a mistake and often is.
I also didn't love Evil Dead the first time I saw it but then grew to really enjoy it and have watched it several times! 😅 Prime example of how ads/trailers can absolutely destroy how we first view a film. Thank you for this wicked ranking video Cody, you are the king of horror content for me. 🤘
I think Evil Dead 2013 is a good stand alone film on its own. Having said that, I did not think it was a good remake because I couldn't care less about any of the characters and how stupid they were. Where as, I think The Hills Have Eyes 2006 remake is the best remake period, because I have never cared more about a family in a film then I did watching that film. I also felt that way in both The Night of the Living Dead 1990 and Dawn of the Dead 2004 remakes. Evil Dead had a great opening scene but it was just too much with the excessive gore and blood trying to 1up the original and its sequel. It actually made me sick to watch and I didn't care for the ending or the pointless cameo by Bruce Campbell, he deserved more than what they gave him. When I met him at an evening with Bruce in 2021 with a Q&A session with him and a 4K Theatrical restoration of The Evil dead 1981, he hinted at Evil Dead Rise 2023 and spoke vaguely about it which excited me. I asked him what he thought about the remake and his reply was, "As a producer on the film with Rob and Sam, I can say it made enough money to put my snot nosed kids through college." I take it he was not overwhelmed by the remake.
I was an Extra in 'The Crazies' during the baseball scene. Best time ever!
I agree 100% about the TCM remake! It messed me up the first time I saw it. I still randomly think about "the face scene" to this day!
2000s horror tier list sounds great!!
Some remakes that I actually like (a real rarity) are The Thing (1982), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Nosferatu the Vampire (the Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski version from 1979), The Blob (1988), Cat People (1982), and Scarface (1983). THOSE, however, are OLDER ones, having nothing to do with this $h!tty current Hollywood remake trend, which I pretty well detest.
It's always a pleasant day when Cody uploads a new video!
I 100% agree with everything you said about the TCM remake. This movie scared the ### out of me when I saw it in theatres!
Great video dude 👏, and I was surprised with the huge amount of opinions that we had in common, I feel like about 80 percent of the choices was how I would have put them too.
Great show Cody. I just discovered your channel. Very good stuff. I really like your take on the remakes. I like your points that some of those movies you did not see the originals when it came out so your attachment is more for the remake. I'm older so seeing the originals makes it special for me. Keep up the good work!
I watched the Texas remake in theaters with a friend. I was so shooken up by the movie that I got into a car accident with a truck on my way home from the theater.
Hell yeah. Been wanting this tier list for a while.
Always so happy when you post a new video, you give great suggestions.
Cody why do you keep blessing us with these S tier videos 😂
I wish you got a better watch of The Ring. Truly one of the scariest films I’ve ever seen, and one of the few that have ever made me scared. It left a serious impact on me, and the visual aspect to it will make you depressed. It ends on a note that is so incredibly wild and sad. One of my favorite horror films and one of my most underrated.
I was so excited to see this. Your tier rankings are my favorite
Great topic for a tier list. Appreciate your videos!
It doesn't quite fit in this list, but Little Shop of Horrors (1986) is a great remake of Corman's 1960 version.
Fun fact I went to high school with the kid that played the young boy in the omen remake, hated the movie, but was cool to hear the stories behind it.
Awesome tier list Cody keep up the good work 👍
I started binge watching all your horror videos and realized I didn’t subscribe until today 😅 keep doing what you’re doing bruh! 🤘🏽
Tier list videos are lots of fun. Hope you come up with more good ideas for them.
Man, that Paris Hilton joke caught me way off guard🤣🤣 I don't know what was more savage, her death scene, or your joke!
I use to say Jason didn't run but then I went back and watched part 2 and saw him running in the woods
This was such a fun tier list. I really need to see the re-make of "The Blob" again. I really liked it when I saw it as a kid and I especially remember seeing the trailer for it and being so psyched to see it. And I don't know why more people don't talk about it.
Perfect video for a nice relaxing Friday off ! You rule Cody !
Fri-yay
This video gets an immediate like for putting the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre at #1 GOAT. I have been saying it for 20 years since I saw it in theaters that it is one of the greatest horror movies and easily the greatest remake ever made. I think it's 10X better than the original and the film is an absolute step up in every way. The cast and acting is phenomenal, the settings are drenched in pure dread and suspense and R. Lee Ermey as the Sheriff is the cherry on the cake. He is absolutely phenomenal and truly terrifying. The gun scene with him and Morgan in the van is one of the greatest and most tense horror movie scenes ever created. This movie is a instant classic and will always be endlessly rewatchable.
Everyone thinks the same about that movie
Listening to the video while doing my delivery route . Appreciate the content brotha
Any time
Ignore my name, it was my old podcast. I'm Andrew from that cast. Anyways I just want to say I was having a major MAJOR anxiety attack, like BAD and tuning into this video and its length helped me. It calmed me down. I've been following you for around a year and why is because I tend to agree with you on most reviews. Great GOAT list, just missed on a couple of the lower tier lol. Anyways I cant thank you enough for the relativity with your videos to the point where it was the only thing that calmed me down. Also like people say "I could totally be friends with this guy" but anyways. Keep doing what you're doing, fuck what others say cause you're the only one I relate with AND somehow some way you've been very very few to calm me down during a major anxiety attack. So thank you
Glad you’re ok
TCM 03 is the first horror movie I remember watching at the ripe age of 6 lmao it's always been one of my favs because of that. Glad to see others appreciate it as much as I do
It was my first as well. I was 9 and halfway through I turned it off and woke up my dad and asked if I could sleep in his bed😂😂 I love it now
Lmao ya'll must've had cool parents
I adore the 2009 The Stepfather. Underrated imo for sure!
Straight up. That opening scene has always really disturbed me.
Your tierlists are some of your best videos keep them coming
Texas chainsaw remake was freaking terrifying for me as well but in a good way. I actually hope to be freaked out and it worked.
Always love your videos Cody. Just curious, how come you don't review any Asian horror? It's such a big sub-genre nowadays and it would be great to hear your thoughts on some of its classics.
He doesn't like watching foreign movies
"The Hills Have Eyes" is my go-to movie whenever the "All remakes suck" conversation comes up.
It's a classic
When I was 11ish I watched Mirrors, and the image of that woman's jaw getting ripped off kept me up. It was the most traumatic movie that I had ever watched as a child lol
The whole Freddy being a YOU KNOW...people argue with me about that as if he was YOU KNOW the whole time.
Slightly hinted at...maybe...but that was NEVER established in the original films!
I feel so validated right now. Cody my friend...THANK you.
The SA scene in Last House on the Left is hard to watch. I honestly tend to skip over it, but only because I just don't like seeing that stuff. When I was an edgy teenager it didn't bother me, but these days... not so much. But I absolutely love the rest of the movie and really liked how in this version the daughter actually survives unlike the original.
Spoilers lol
I remember when the Friday remake came out, I was going through a horror movie phase and catching up on some of the franchises I was terrified of as a kid. I finally went through the Ft13th movies and when I finally gave the remake a go I was honestly really impressed with it. Taking the first three movies and condensing them into a modern day telling of the Crystal lake killer worked really well and fleshing out Jason and giving the audience explanations on how he's able to get around the camp grounds was a clever idea gave us something new while being faithful to the original. I really liked this one!
... I also kind of blame it for setting my expectations to high for the Nightmare on elm street remake...
The nightmare series, next to Chucky, was my favorite horror franchise when I was a teen. It was a free canvas to let the creators go wild and let their twisted imaginations go wild.
... And they did NOTHING WITH IT! I loved seeing a serious Freddy again, the kills were either pale cgi imatations of the originals or just boring. On top of that, the heavy implications of Freddy... Doing things to his victims and toying with the audience if he was guilty or not was a horrible decision. Save for the micronap concept and (imo) a good redesign and casting for Freddy, this was absolutely disappointing.
Oh, and then there's Child's Play 2019.... I liked it. Chucky is my favorite horror villain and I thought this was an interesting modern day spin on the character without stepping on the toes of the original series. They don't create Charles Lee Ray, they don't recreate a 6 year old with tricked by a possessed doll, they don't recreate a mother trying to save her son from a vengeful spirit, they set out to do their own thing yet it gets piled on.
Meanwhile, M3gan comes along with the same idea minus the blood and gore and it's a run away success. That's just how it goes, I guess.
EVERYTHING you said!
Your arguments about the nightmare remake make absolutely no sense lol.
So, they did nothing with it, but you liked the new additions of the micro naps and hated the new backstory? Y'ou're okay with Freddy being a child murderer but him doing things before he murders them is where you draw the line? Like are y'all listening to yourselves when saying that? (and i specifically mean all of you cause almost everyone has this complaint)
You wanted to root for a child killer, and the filmmaker reminded you that it's not normal or sane to do that, and instead people criticised him for it lmao and that's why y'all will never get another Nightmare movie, because people want to root for him and realistically the studios would get into too much trouble nowadays if they made the audience root for an actual child murderer lmao....
@@zaldigr863 Pretty dumb thing for such a long rant.
@@user-sy5sy2np8r it was two paragraphs…
the education system is failing the world..
@@zaldigr863 I was just trying to be a smart ass! But if you want a more articulate retort....
The difference is that a child KILLER is a pretty typical slasher trope. Part of the reason people like 80's slashers is that it's fun to sometimes "cheer" for the villain.
Although child murder is obviously an unforgivable act, in the original franchise all of the pedophile stuff was subtext. Plus, eventually Freddy was presented in a "cool" way that made him a pop culture icon!
Most slasher villains kill teenagers, children are just one step up in depravity. No child is ever SEEN being murdered in the original franchise, so it's really just an extension on a trope that fans are used to.
It's impossible to "cheer" for Freddy when the remake puts the fact that he has sex with CHILDREN front and center!
My sincere apologies if my first reply bothered you. There's a much better one that proves that I can get a little long winded sometimes, too!
Awesome list! Always a hype here when you make a new vid. ✌️
As you include The Ring, I kinda miss The Grudge, Shutter and Dark Water. 😇🧟
I agree with all your GOATS especially TCM, talk about gold standard remakes. The Blob should definitely be up there as well though, man that movie is great.
My favorite horror remake is Evil Dead 2013 by far. Super intense in gore and really scary. Worst is of course Leprechaun origins. Not even a Leprechaun
Great to see the love for The Uninvited. Defo has rewatch value and not to spoil it in the comments but when the twist/reveal happens and you rewatch it, it’s like “Ahh man, how did I not realise this! Well played!” 😂
My Bloody Valentine 3D is fun too, great cast and the small town setting is on point👌🏾
My list and taste in movies is very similar to yours, great tier/ranking video!
@Cody Bless your heart Sir you do like to tackle the large projects :). Very fun watch, Thanks
I would also add Funny Games and put it in Better than the original, i just prefer it...i think as a movie it's very effective and disturbing, it's frustrating and you just know the director is toying with us as viewers, like the original as it''s pretty much shot for shot but in English.. It just goes there and has the balls to do it.. It has my high respect.
Thank you for ripping into that Pet Sematary remake! Switching the kids had potential, because it completely changes how the third act plays out, but yes, it is weirdly rushed and they do little with it. The ending . . . UGH! It is dark and bleak, sure, but to what end? At the end of the movie, it has nothing to say. How can you make a movie about the horrors of losing your child and being unable to move on . . . and have nothing to say?
SPOILER FOR THE ORIGINAL
In this one, dad basically succeeds in stopping this, and effectively has to kill gauge himself, which re-traumatizes him, but makes it so much worse than his first death. Unfortunately, he doesn't learn from it, repeats it with his wife, and she comes back and kills him. He could not let them go . . . he could not realize that "sometimes dead is better" . . . better than being stuck and unable to accept said death.
Unfortunately, my wife saw the remake first, and now refuses to watch the original, and I understand why. They have done legitimate harm to the original.
Cody you’re my go to horror channel we can tell you have so much knowledge on this stuff which is why I watch you 😌💙💙
Great job brother & it seemed like this took a lot of time & effort. Good idea trying to create new content. Happy Holidays, Cody.
A Tale of Two Sisters is an incredible film. Recommended
Seconded. Not the remake though, the original Korean film.
My fav. horror movie of all time. Im sad its awful American remake ranked so high here lol
6:18 This scene right here is why House on Haunted Hill remake is a classic. It's a scene that sends actual chills.
I LOVE when you talk about your love for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake & your theater experience for it, because I had the same experience. I remember being a 12/13 yr old girl on a family trip stopping at a random theater and my dad & stepmom were trying to take my younger brother, younger stepbrother and me to see some kids movie called good boy and I begged them to let me watch the Texas chainsaw massacre. I was in the theater alone shitting my pants but when I got out I acted like it didn't scare me half to death cause I begged to see it ha. I'm still obsessed with it to this day one of the best remakes/ horror movies in general ❤
Love all of your videos Cody, never stop! 🤟🤟🤟
Love the tier list rankings cody
Great Tier List Cody keep up the good work 👍🏻
Great rankings Cody. Thanks for sharing
Excellent video, Cody. Some good rants!
Damn these tier levels are some of the best I’ve seen so far in any level, very specific
Not related to this list but wanted thank you for recommending Dutch in your blu ray collection video. I love John Hughes movies and this one is a lovely Thanksgiving movie that has the Hughes feel good quality. Looking forward to watching this tier list
Great video! It also would’ve been interesting to see where you’d put “The Faculty” if it had been on this list.
The faculty is a remake??
Awesome rankings. Couldn't agree more with everything you've said about the original IT and the two new films.
i feel like for some of these movies, there should be a tier that’s like “what did they even change” like with the omen remake
The kill in the remake of a Nightmare on Elm Street at the beginning where he slits his own throat (or should I say carves) was brutal
I was hoping that this might be a 31 on 31 some time but this is also awesome! I love the detail you go into in these videos.
Great video.
I do have a theory about the Psycho remake (probably wrong, but run with it); Van Sant was conducting an experiment in film-making. In essence, he was trying to find out what makes a movie. By repeating the scenes as Hitchcock filmed them, he essentially took himself out of the director position and sought to find out whether Psycho (and by extension, movies in general) was a product of its time, whether it was the actors that made the difference or whether there was any difference at all.
Of course, we found out that there is a lot of difference despite repeating the same shots.
Great list and video. Some great movies here.
Great list. Didnt expect 13 Ghosts to be #1 but im pleasantly surprised
I love this ranking! There were very few that I'd place elsewhere. I'm in agreement with most. 😊
I'm going to defend the use of CGI in the IT remakes. It gives Pennywise an uncanny feeling almost like a "this thing should not exist in this world," but here it is right in front of you.
Another phenomenal Tier List video by Cody Leach.
I know your movie tastes so well, I guessed your rankings correctly 95% of the time. I was wrong about The Blob because I thought you saw the original.
Curious if you've seen The Grudge from 2004 or Ju-On and what your opinion between those two are?
I was curious about that, too. Was kinda surprised it didn't make the list.
Love your tier list
Damn, you know I'm a sucker for horror themed tier lists!
I adore your tier lists Cody, they are always a nice mix of funny and informative. And as you have said so many times, it is your list and it is based on your opunion and tast etc. And people need to stop with the unnecessaryhate towards people on Youtibe making tier lists, because it will always be a matter of own personal taste and opinion. But enough about those kind of people, really enjoyed this video, even if it was a long video, i actually don´t mind that at all. And i am looking forward, to seeing what your next tier list will be focused on. :)
Memory might serve me wrong but it was rare for anything attributed to a horror film in the 80's being nominated for an Oscar so I very much doubt if Jeff Goldblum was nominated.
Edit...He did win a Saturn award for best actor though
When Cody shoots he don't miss. Great content as always.
Great vid! The Thing(number 1) And The Fly(second placw) are my favourite remakes in general! I really liked The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday The 13th, The Hills Have Eyes are also great
im always with ya on RZ’s Halloween 2, Cody! at least that one feels like it’s more of an original take on the source material and characters, whereas the first one Zombie did is exactly as you put it.
i also much prefer the technical quality/style of H2. it looks rough and gnarly, with the film grain and consistent handheld cam-works to the films advantage.
Mister GG has a really good breakdown of the 13 Ghosts. I never noticed how much I missed.
I was holding my breath with what you were gonna say about Dawn of the Dead... one of the few movies I didn't know your opinion about. So relieved lol. Some original Dawn of the Dead fans will not accept that you can love both movies, but the remake is just a practically flawless horror movie. Wish they could have continued this with the Day of the Dead remake. Can't wait to see what you're gonna say about Night of the Living Dead up next lol
