10 Best (and Worst) Horror Remakes of the Last 20 Years

It's been 20 years since "Psycho" hit theaters. No, not the Hitchcock classic. Gus Van Sant's shot-by-shot remake that, two decades later, is still a misfire. But that hasn't stopped Hollywood from rolling the dice again on rebooting other horror movie properties. Here are a few of the ones we love and loathe.

Worst: 'The Wicker Man' (2006)

Who's in more pain: 1973 cult classic?

Worst: 'The Haunting' (1999)

This ludicrously-CGI-heavy update on the Owen Wilson's sudden demise.

Worst: 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (2003)

Great: Marcus Nispel also gave us an unasked-for reboot of "Friday the 13th"

Worst: 'The Fog' (2005)

Filmmakers: You're always on shaky ground when you attempt to remake a film by horror master John Carpenter. This dull CW-ified remake was hated by both critics and audiences. It received a Worst Film” at the Fangoria Chainsaw Awards and “Least Scary Movie” at Stinkers Bad Movie Awards.

Worst: 'Psycho' (1998)

We love Hitchcock's genre-changing slasher is purely academic.

Best: 'The Ring' (2002)

This eerily chilling remake of the Japanese "Ringu" made us afraid of our TVs and to steer clear of wells. Samara remains one of the creepiest horror villains of all time.

Best: 'Let Me In' (2010)

Remakes of foreign horror films are usually disasters, but Chloë Grace Moretz are damn good. (And scored a number of critics' awards each.)

Best: 'Fright Night' (2011)

We love the heck out of the Anton Yelchin films. Well worth your time.

Best: 'Dawn of the Dead' (2004)

It's a tall order remaking anything by Sarah Polley, a much bleaker ending and -- a genre first? --  a zombie baby.

'The Crazies' (2010)

The Timothy Olyphant makes it a trip worth taking.
