Rob Zombie
Remakes of late 1970s horror movies became routine in
the 2000s. In addition to 2004's remake of Dawn of the
Dead and 2003's remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,
in 2007 Rob Zombie wrote and directed a remake of John
Carpenter's Halloween.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The film focused more on
Michael's backstory than the original did, devoting the
first half of the film to Michael's childhood. It was
critically panned by most, but was a success in
its theatrical run.
Production of re-makes looks set to
continue in 2008 and beyond, with Quarantine (a remake
of REC), Friday the 13th,[23] A Nightmare on Elm Street,
Scanners, Hellraiser, The Birds, Child's Play and even
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes being remade.
