10 Horror Movies That Deserve A Remake (And Why)

Event Horizon has no right to retain the cult following it does. The CGI is horribly dated, the film's editing is slapdash from excessive censoring, and it wears several horror cliches on its sleeves. That being said, Event Horizon is excellent: a unique setting combining demonic horror with the emptiness of space is supported by dual powerhouse performances from Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill.

Updating Event Horizon isn't going to be easy. Audiences are going to expect the gross-out imagery that was sadly butchered out of the final cuts of the 1997 original. They'll go in with the hopes that it retains its campy atmosphere while balancing horror. But there's a way to pay fan service while taking the story to new places.

Event Horizon is about a ship that has gone through Hell and impacts those around it, so it could stand to reason this effect could be radiating from the point of origin. Raise the stakes and have the ship successfully recovered by a larger docking station, and the audience will be treated to seeing the effect firsthand, letting them live out the horror in real-time as opposed to after the worst of it.

Making this change forces the audience to accept that the horrors of the damned ship cannot be contained by its walls; who will survive? And what will remain of them?
