10 Remakes That Totally Outshone The Original
6. Teen Wolf (TV)
Though the 1985 movie Teen Wolf is not a critical darling by really any stretch of the imagination, it has still managed to garner a following. It featured Michael J. Fox as high school student who finds out he is a werewolf.
More than 20 years later and largely inspired by what had been done with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, work began on a television adaptation. Like its inspiration, the Teen Wolf television series turned away from the campy tone of the preceding film, instead featuring a blend of drama, comedy and horror.
Premiering in 2011, the series and its cast were met with much praise from critics. This is something to be noted, seeing as finding a critically acclaimed MTV series is just about the equivalent to finding a unicorn in a forest.
The Teen Wolf series concluded in 2017, though questions were deliberately left unanswered in anticipation of a possible continuation.
