5. I Know What You Did Last Summer

When it comes to the pantheon of horror greats, the words "I Know What You Did Last Summer" do not immediately spring to mind. A forgettable '90s slasher which was memorable more for the Scary Movie parodies it spawned rather than its own series, the flick isn't exactly a lost classic desperate to be remade, but an interesting spin could be put on the movie with the right director.

Fortunately, Hollywood thought the same thing, and has put Mike Flanagan, of Hush, Oculus and Gerald's Game fame in charge of writing and directing the revival. The director is quickly proving himself as one of the most exciting names working in the genre today, able to create real mainstream hits that don't resort to cheap jump-scares or cliches.

Consequently, if there's one man capable of taking the cliche-ridden foundations of the original movie and spinning them on their heads, it's him.
