8 Horror Movie Remakes That Pissed Off The Original Creators

8. Suspiria (2018)

Like a few movies on this list, I'd argue that Suspiria 2018 is an absolutely solid remake.

It certainly won't be for everyone's tastes but you can't say it's anywhere near the kind of lazy, thoughtless retread that many remakes are. Director Luca Guadagnino had a vision to update this tale of a witch-run ballet school, and for better or worse he stuck with it.

Of course, because his movie is so different from the original in terms of tone, runtime, set design, performances, violence and music, you can understand why die-hard fans of the original view it as complete sacrilege.

Sadly, that's a thought shared by original director and horror legend Dario Argento as well. Though he's not gone into great detail on his criticisms, the couple of things he has had to say about the remake have been damning.

As picked up by Bloody Disgusting, in one interview he claimed it “betrayed the spirit of the original film.” In another he went into specifics, saying that the flick "lacks fear, music, tension, and scenic creativity.”

All in all it's pretty damning and considering the critical and commercial response, it's unlikely we'll get the second movie in this proposed series anytime soon.
