10 Sci-Fi Movie Remakes That Need To Happen

10. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers

We start with a film that technically already exists as a remake, and proves - like the other titles mentioned in the introduction - why the act of recreating a film can be beneficial. This dark and suspenseful science fiction horror has a fantastic legacy, and that is because the concept is terrifying.

The movie - and novel by Jack Finney - tells of a strange seed that lands on Earth, and brings with it an extra-terrestrial threat which begins to replace citizens with emotionless automatons. The concept is simple, but the suspense and horror that comes from it fills you with paranoia and a sense of inevitable dread.

The suggestion of all humans being taken over by emotionless alien beings feels akin to the Capgras delusion, where you believe that a friend, spouse or family member has been replaced with an identical imposter. This gives the movie a true sense of grounded fear that doesn't seem entirely outlandish or unrealistic.

This film would be the perfect property to remake as it has a subtle and non-dramatic approach to its science fiction. We have also even seen Edgar Wright's The World's End use the concept, which proves how applicable it can be to a contemporary audience.
