10 Upcoming Horror Remakes Nobody Asked For

10. The Blob

The Chuck Russell-directed, Frank Darabont-penned 1988 remake of The Blob is perhaps the most underappreciated horror remake of all time, injecting its quaint, even corny predecessor with a double dose of brutality, by way of some astonishing creature effects and an anything-goes attitude to its victims.

Yet despite the '88 film flopping at the box office, earlier this year it was confirmed that a new version of The Blob is in development, with David Bruckner (2022's Hellraiser remake) set to write and direct.

It's incredibly difficult to picture a new take on The Blob retaining the same wild, unforgiving edginess of Russell's previous remake, and despite producer Keith Levine insisting this new film will respect the practical effects lineage of its predecessor, it's hard to believe it won't go the mostly-CGI route.

Bruckner's a talented filmmaker, no question, but aren't his skills better spent on an original idea instead?
