Cool idea for a thread. I'm seeing a lot of remakes and comic book superhero type movies from Hollywood these days, and I do like a good comic book character movie if it's done well.
I did watch tons of horror movies in the 90s from the local video chains and eventually was only inquiring about new releases because it was pretty much all I hadn't seen.
I think I recall two versions of the Wicker Man, and one was really old and the other I believe was a remake that starred Nicholas Cage; maybe I'm thinking about 10,000 Maniacs on the former - black and white I think.
One movie that I saw within the past couple years that I thought was very good was Backcountry(based on a true story), and I suppose before that maybe House of a thousand Corpses and the following two that completed the trilogy.
Maybe some others worth mentioning are Burnt Offerings from the 70s which was very good, and I'm not really much into the haunted house phenomenon, but that was an exception for sure.
Also Phantasm(80s maybe), the first Hellraiser, and the Salems' Lot that had David Soul from Starsky and Hutch.
These are just a few that come to mind, and I did also see a pretty good sci-fi horror movie from around 2010 called Prometheus that I would recommend.
Quick brainstorm right after a nap, and excuse the pun, but I'll stop by again if anything 'paramount' comes to mind. I'm quite certain I've omitted some good stuff here. I've seen so many, just not so much lately is all. These days I'm more into searching for content on YouTube than anything else.
