10 Films Hollywood Should Have Remade Instead Of Ben Hur

6. Demons

Demons isn’t big on characterization or credibility, but it has a ton of style and boy is it fun. It raises such important issues as what action you should take when a friend starts growing claws and attacking audience members during a late night screening, turning them into demons with glowing eyes and a taste for flesh.

Fortunately for our heroes, there just happens to be a motorcycle and a ninja sword in the lobby, so before long they’re driving through the aisles (accompanied by a pounding rock score) cutting down their opponents. Then a helicopter crashes through the roof, allowing them to escape.

A remake would do away with the unintentionally amusing dubbing as well as the dated character of Tony The Pimp, a jive talkin’ caricature who isn’t aware the 1970s ended. As long as they don’t cast Jai Courtney or anyone from Twilight, we’re all good.
