They are already considered classics among film critics, not just horror fans, but the larger film community. That says a lot about the quality of certain classic horror films. Are any of the remakes of those classics going to be considered in that same category? Of course not.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndOf course not? Sorry man, you're wrong. All the remake bashing is really irritating me. The fact of the matter is, some of the greatest horror movies of all time were remakes. Does The Thing (1982) ring a bell? How about The Fly (1986)? Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Blob (1988) and NOTLD (1990) also come to mind. These are just a few.Will some of the newer remakes be considered classics in the future? Of course. I believe The Ring (2002), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Hills Have Eyes (2006), The Last House on the Left (2009) are a few recent remakes that will be considered classics in the future. Oh, I forgot to mention NOES 2010 (not kidding)
