Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!
This week, Chris and Ryan dive into remakes of classic horror films from the '50s and '60s. We start with Chuck Russell's 1988 version of "The Blob," which pays respectful homage to the 1958 version while carving its own path forward and is arguably a superior film to its originator. Then, we move into Gus Van Sant's 1998 shot-for-shot remake of Hitchcock's "Psycho;" a handsomely-made movie that managed to only put a single thought through our heads, and that is "...why?" Finally, we move into the very-much-made-in-2001 "Thir13en Ghosts," a loose remake of the 1960 William Castle film. Both of us were fond of this film when we were younger, but has that fondness remained or changed? Listen to find out.
