This Collider article ranks the eight greatest remakes of classic horror films, arguing that while remakes are often viewed cynically as cash-grabs, a select few match or surpass their originals when placed in capable hands. Written by Joe Leone, the piece pushes back against blanket scepticism towards horror remakes by highlighting films that successfully reinterpreted beloved source material rather than simply trading on name recognition.

Topping the excerpt are Fede Alvarez's 2013 "Evil Dead", praised for abandoning much of the original's campy horror-comedy tone in favour of pure, unrelenting terror, and Chuck Russell's 1988 "The Blob", noted for exceeding its 1958 predecessor with memorable body-horror effects. The full list of eight includes other notable remakes, though Alexandre Aja's "The Hills Have Eyes" and both Nosferatu remakes were noted as strong contenders that narrowly missed inclusion.
