this list we’re taking a look at horror
remakes and reboots that have yet to
come out as of March 2019 number 10 a
Nightmare on Elm Street release date to
while the original Wes Craven classic
remains one of the horror greats
2010’s a Nightmare on Elm Street was
widely seen as a lackluster remake 5
years later it was announced that
another remake was in development with a
script by David Leslie Johnson who
worked on orphan the conjuring 2 and
James Wands Aquaman
part of us would like to see Robert
Englund reprised his career defining
role as Freddy Krueger for one last
hurrah similar to Jamie Lee Curtis in
2018 Halloween
while Anglin has expressed interest in
making a cameo he’d personally like to
see Kevin Bacon inherit the role having
previously starred in Friday the 13th
tremors and holloman bacon as Freddy
could actually be the stuff nightmares
are made of
[Music]
number nine rabid release date to be
announced 2019
David Cronenberg’s 1977 body horror
flick might not be the most well known
entry in his filmography this movie’s
shocking premise is very much in the
spirit of his other works however
centering on a woman who grows an armpit
orifice that feasts upon people’s blood
turning them into zombies yep that’s
Cronenberg all right whereas the
original film starred porn icon marilyn
Chambers this remake features Laura
Vandervoort as a woman who undergoes a
risky stem-cell treatment following an
accident behind the camera our sisters
Jen and Sylvia sashka who consider
Cronenberg one of their key creative
influences the twisted twins will put a
fresh spin on rabbit in a story that
targets the fashion world and the price
number 8 Jacob’s Ladder release date to
be announced 2019 the link between
military combat and post-traumatic
stress disorder has been in the public
eye more than ever with that in mind
Jacob’s Ladder holds up just as well
today as it did in 1990 following a
Vietnam veteran who’s haunted by strange
hallucinations this psychological
thriller kept its audience guessing what
was real and what was an illusion the
2019 version has been described as more
of an homage than a retread a story will
be brought into the 21st century
focusing on a veteran who returns from
Afghanistan rather than Vietnam at the
same time the filmmakers have strived to
maintain the themes that made the
original film such an intriguing descent
number seven an American Werewolf in
London release date to be announced soon
service like Jordan Peele and John
Krasinski director John Landis rose to
prominence through his comedic works but
his contributions to the horror genre
are equally significant his 1981 cult
classic at American Werewolf in London
received an Academy Award for its makeup
effects which still hold up phenomenally
almost four decades later that being
said we hope the remake also sticks to
mostly practical effects rather than
going the full CGI route the project is
staying in the family as it’s being
written and directed by John Landis his
son max landis Max has already finished
a draft for the remake although he joked
that quote every time he opened the
final draft file his laptop would slam
closed under the weight of his father’s
expectations I will not accept this go
away
number 6 the fly release date to be
announced brundlefly like our previous
entry 1986 is the fly stands out as one
of the few horror films to win an Oscar
taking home the award for Best Makeup as
one of David Cronenberg’s most
successful films many forget it was
actually a remake of a 1958 B movie the
story of a man who evolves into a fly
hybrid creature is set to be remade a
second time with JD Dillard reportedly
co-writing and directing little had been
announced about the project since it was
first announced in 2017 in that time
though Dillard has built up his profile
with critically well-received Indies
likes light and sweetheart talking about
his vision for the fly Dillard described
a deeply emotional story with
blockbuster elements v red number 5
Nosferatu
release date to be announced
FW Murnau’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s
Dracula is often cited as one of the
essential vampire movies if not the best
even if you’ve never seen this 1922
German masterpiece chances are you’ll at
least recognize an image of actor Max
Schreck as Count Orlok Verna Hertzog
gave his take on Nosferatu in 1979 and
in recent years multiple filmmakers have
tried to get a remake off the ground
through Kickstarter filmmaker David Lee
Fisher successfully funded a remix with
the great Doug Jones playing Count Orlok
meanwhile Robert Eggers of the witch is
reportedly looking to redeem with
actress and you Taylor joy for another
Nosferatu remake Eggers and Taylor joy
have been busy since their breakout film
but they certainly seem tailor-made for
number four grudge release date January
when cinephiles think of Japanese horror
movies jewel on The Grudge is one of the
first titles that comes to mind the 2004
Western remake starring Sarah Michelle
Gellar enjoyed great financial success
although the franchise eventually
deteriorated into direct-to-video
territory fans are willing to forgive
and forget however as long as this
reboot lives up to its potential
producer Sam Raimi Robert Tapert
and Takashi jhe say are all reuniting
with directorial duties being entrusted
to Nicolas pêche whose previous horror
credits include the eyes of my mother
and piercing the promising cast already
has a screaming with Andrea Riseborough
of Mandy
Betty Gilpin of glow Lin Shaye of
insidious John Cho of searching dim yen
Bashir of the nun and Jacki Weaver of
number three Candyman release date June
12 2025 the horror genre for numerous
reasons most notably it was rare for a
horror movie to touch upon themes of
race and class in the early 90s you
could even argue the film’s racial
commentary predated the oscar-winning
get out so it’s only fitting that Jordan
peels production company is resurrecting
Candyman for modern audiences less like
a remake and more of a spiritual sequel
the film will be helmed by Nia decosta
who earned rave reviews for her
directorial debut little Woods as far as
casting goes the Keith Stanfield of get
out and sorry to bother you has been
rumored although he wouldn’t be playing
the titular Candyman number two Pet
with its becoming a box-office
phenomenon Hollywood is naturally
planning to dig up several other classic
Stephen King tales in the years to come
King’s 1983 novel Pet Sematary was
previously adapted into a 1989 feature
film and a new version is coming out
just in time for the originals 30th
anniversary like its predecessor the
remake also revolves around the Creed
family who moved to rural Maine where
they endure an unspeakable tragedy
overwrought with grief Jason Clark’s
Lewis turns to a demonic pet cemetery
where he defies the laws of nature
sometimes dead is better but with a
well-oiled cast a stylish look and a
plethora of creepy possibilities Pet
Sematary could come roaring back to life
sometimes dead is better before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
Wow

number one child’s play release date
June 21st 2019 Chucky is one of the
slasher genres most iconic monsters
although admittedly he’s become
something of a caricature as of late the
little Hellraiser is overdue for a
modern makeover and this reboot should
reinvent Chucky for a new generation
Gabriel Bateman made his film debut in
2014’s Annabelle and it appears he’s not
done being tormented by sinister dolls
as Andy Barclay Bateman leads a cast
that includes Aubrey Plaza as his mother
and Bryan Tyree Henry is detective Mike
Norris the film will remove the original
supernatural elements instead rooting
Chucky’s killing spree in AI gone wrong
given the current state of technology
the new child’s play not only has the
potential to be scary but also more
relevant than one would anticipate do
