Remake This!

I'm not a huge hater on this film. it has its moments but this is a classic case of good idea and poor execution. a good film can be made with this premise and i've thought this since i saw this back in 1998. this was just one big missed opportunity, i'd like to see this subject matter tackled again but with a bit of refinement but maybe im in the minority on this one

No. Because if this film gets a remake then that would mean Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer would have to get remakes as well. So NO!

Well Scream already kind of got its remake. Scream 4. I'd love to see this remade actually.

I don't wanna remake. But, I would like to see a movie similar with using urban legends.

I can't think of any off the top of my head besides this trilogy.

If Scream 4 had been a huge hit, then new sequels to both I Know What You Did Last Summer and Urban Legend probably would have been announced within a month. However, it underperformed at the box office, instantly killing off any potential big-budget slasher revival.

Other movies that feature multiple urban legends are Campfire Tales (1997) and The Darwin Awards (2006).

Hell no! This one of my favorite horror films.

Clark's destiny = Superman, Lex Luthor & Lois Lane.

Its way too early for a remake, and if anything, it'd get another sequel. I dont think it should be remade anyway.

While this is great fun, I'd LOVE a much more serious, less self-aware remake. It could be genuinely creepy, since most the ULs are terrifying
