Krisha (2015) is a drama that feels like a horror movie if you want something a little more dark.
Krisha returns for Thanksgiving dinner after ten years away from her family, but past demons threaten to ruin the festivities.
The People Under the Stairs, imo
The only one of those four that is a remake is The Blob. The other three are all (second) adaptations of their written source material - the 1955 novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney, George Langelaan's 1957 short story The Fly, and the 1938 John W. Campbell Jr. novella Who Goes There?.
Interesting. Yeah, from imdb:
“Mia mentions the 5 year anniversary of the original massacre was coming up soon, but it took place on Halloween, and this movie taking place on Christmas 5 years later would mean the anniversary had just passed 2 months ago.”
I was trying to figure out if Mia was referencing a trial (that would have cleared Sienna after Johnathan’s testimony) or what.
So strange that wouldn’t have been caught in the process of making the movie, from everyone reading the line in the script down to shooting that scene.
Great, fun movie regardless. Thanks for the reply.
The Fly isn’t a remake either. It’s an adaptation of George Langelaan’s 1957 short story “The Fly”, not a remake of the 1958 movie.
Neither John Carpenter’s The Thing or David Cronenberg’s The Fly are remakes.

How about when he covers his eyes at the office after DeDe asks him “What is wrong with you?”
The next scene at the Dr. Ellison’s office starts with him still covering his eyes the same way the previous scene ended, suggesting an instantaneous shift to his inner fantasy or daydream, where he has the courage he lacks in his real life.
Although, it is interesting the parallel between his job as a firefighter and jumping into a fiery volcano at the end. What if he died going back for that third child and the movie was a death dream or purgatory afterward.
The movie seems to contain a pastiche of other movies - Metropolis, Brazil, The Poseidon Adventure ? A podcast I listened to mentioned a connection between the island’s infatuation with soda and the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy.
He was reminding me of Dennis Hopper at times with his appearance and how he was using his eyes.
I was thinking Barry Pepper
