Perfect Horror Movies That Should Never Be Remade

Horror movie remakes are a part of life. But sometimes the original is so perfect, a remake is wholly unnecessary. More than that, there are some horror films that should be declared off-limits, with no remakes allowed. These perfect horror movies should never be remade.

In 1979, director Ridley Scott, writer Dan O'Bannon, designer H.R. Giger, and a young, unknown actor named Sigourney Weaver teamed up to bring us the scariest thing in space since we discovered it's an endless, yawning black void. Alien was an instant hit, freaking out audiences and catapulting Weaver into instant fame. The beautiful sets, terrifying creature design, and non-stop tension made it a stand out in a sci-fi market still clogged with ripoffs of 1977's Star Wars.

Immediately, knock-offs of Alien came out of the woodwork as well, but none could touch the original. The budget of these would-be cash ins were often very tiny, the creature designs were almost always laughably bad, and they simply weren't scary. Alien stood alone in the cat-and-mouse extraterrestrial horror genre.

Seven years later, we got a sequel, Aliens. The film eschewed the horror of its predecessor and focused more on action. While an outstanding film in its own right, Aliens and its follow-ups have never gone back to the horror of the original. The closest we've gotten is 2014's Alien: Isolation, a video game starring Ripley's adult daughter, which continued the original film's legacy of inhuman, predatory horror.
