15 Things Horror Remakes Did Better Than The Original

A poorly done horror film without a single scary moment (literally), this is another one of the worst horror remakes out there and it has a rare 0% on Rotten Tomatoes despite having 80 reviews. Ouch.

In fairness though, it was fighting a losing battle from the off since the original One Missed Call (2003), a Japanese horror flick, isn't actually that great and has many issues of its own. One of these is its excessive length and this is something the remake managed to fix.

The original film is nearly two hours and this remake is roughly 80 minutes, yet it is actually pretty faithful and has most of the scenes from the original film. As awful as this remake is, it did have far better and more economical pacing and showed that the original could have told its story in just 90 minutes, which would have improved it.
