What was Don's last high grossing Chucky Movie? Oh Oh okay. Definitely wasn't those last two straight to dvd/tv movies nor was it seed of Chucky. Decades of flops. With all the **** Child's Play got from whiny fanboys/fraudulent directors + opening same day as a Disney movie, Managing to do 4x it's budget, I wouldn't call that a flop And Apparently, Neither would Don seeing how inspired the new tv show is from the remake.

(read the pilot and it's a carbon copy of the 2019 film) The franchise would be nothing without Tom, but Don also wrote all the movies. There’s a reason Cult is the most critically acclaimed Chucky movie despite no theatrical release. Universal should have more faith in the franchise because the last one to hit theaters was back in like 2003. In the end the remake (despite being good) doesn’t compare to the original.

And the original is GREAT. So happy to see other Suspiria stans on here, it’s literally my favorite movie of the past 10 years More on topic, I’d say the best remakes are definitely the ones that don’t try to imitate or surpass the originals - if you have nothing new to say, why bother? Another personal favorite of mine is Peter Jackson’s King Kong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dario Argento hated it, mainly because he lost all of his talent and has to criticize everyone making good horror nowadays (if the film is mediocre, he just doesn't say anything; if the film is good he gets annoyed because he still thinks he's a top director and becomes a hater lol) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the actors did a really great job, Cate Blanchett is always good of course, but also Kip the prince and Ella were charming too. I re-watched it recently, and it still holds up. honestly that’s not really a “remake,” it’s just another adaptation of the fairy tale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie was wrong on so many levels that it was obvious it was only made to make a lot of money because of the title and that’s it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why all the ASIB movies can stand on their own, and sometimes overshadow their predecessors: it's like a Shakespearian tragedy, adapted for a new generation each time. The overall story is the same, but the execution is different enough for people to be entertained. And on the other end of the spectrum, we have Disney, so obsessed with their own legacy that they can't seem to be interested in delivering anything new... I am a big fan of the original Suspiria as well, and hiring someone like Guadagnino, who's vowed a life-long passion to this film, to remake it was absolutely the thing to do (even tho he wasn't necessarily the most obvious choice, so props to Amazon Studios for having the balls to do the right thing). The result went way beyond my expectations, and to quote your own expression, I'm still very much morbidly obsessed with it 2 years after first seeing it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
