10 Awful Horror Movies That Need To Be Remade
10. The Pyramid
Realistically, the found-footage genre is something that shouldn't be tough at all. Sure, you'll rarely get anything profound out of it, but fun (and spooky) times will always ensue when you've got a shaky camera, a good premise and some big old scares. With that being said, why is this movie so crappy?
The Pyramid follows a team of intrepid archaeologists who get trapped inside an Egyptian pyramid. They record themselves as unspeakable creatures hunt them down. It's a straightforward concept that should be effective, but the clunky dialogue, terrible lighting, awful VFX and many other problems make it unbearable to watch.
Despite the movie being such a bust, there's still so much good in this concept. The mythologically inspired villains are something entirely different from the zombies and demons horror fans are used to. Thus, a decent remake could not only create an effective scary flick but also explore some fascinating facets of Egyptian mythology.
Plus, god forbid, the movie doesn't even need to be found-footage. Just seeing people attempting to survive in a harsh environment like a haunted pyramid, with some solid acting and great monster designs, would be enough to send any horror nut home happy.
