Simple enough, explain how you'd fix a movie you feel had potential, but were displeased with & leave another title for the next person.

Black Christmas '06
-Move the backstory to the opening
-Cut the mental institution bits
-Give Clair lines
-Introduce Leigh earlier
-Cut Kelli, Megan, & Kyle completely from the film
-Add some non-trashy guys into the mix
-Made Eve less weird
-Have creepier phone calls
-Replace repetitive/ridiculous deaths
-Extend the time to more than one night
Spoiler: click to toggle


Freddy vs Jason?

- Make the killer less random and less obvious and heighten the whodunit element.
- Show more of the deaths since I felt that they were all off screen or cut away
- Focus it more on the entire town being terrorized instead of the halfway house so it makes sense why all these random people are dying.
- Try to avoid such a sleezy tone and aim for a more warped, psychological driven one.
- Cut all the shots of Pam rolling around like an idiot

I WASN'T READY IT'S SO TRU :lolwong:

As for Oculus, I personally wouldn't have anything that I'd change about it, even if it did frustrate me, becuz I loved so much :hester666:

Wrong Turn 6? :murdermyvagina:

Reviving this thread because I love it.

Having not seen WT6 But read about it I have a short list:

Ignored everything after 2.
Completely cut out the backstory of the guy being related.
Had them get there by breaking down and being forced to spend a night due to a snowstorm.
Finish the fucking series off already because it is flopping.

Cabin Fever

-Take out the dumb humor or improve it at least
-Make the characters more tolerable

-Make the charries less idiotic, offensive, & irritating & instead give them some actual development
-Have the title apply more to the film than beyond the superficial virus & have the friends be dealing with their own drama that would slowly drive them crazy as the virus eats their flesh
-Somewhat explain where the fuck the fever/virus came from & how the symptoms work
-Make the plot more cohesive instead of having a bunch of random, easily avoidable occurrences happening
-Make the locals in the town more realistic & less stereotypically bumfuck
-Omit the molesting scene in its entirety
-Not using the same damn script to remake it
:letsnot:

The Burning

ignore this post :maryalice:

I'll do both.

#HORROR
- Made the girls a tad more likable and sympathetic. Don't take away the bullying but just nicer in general.
- Honestly? Aged up the girls and not for the reason you think. I feel like it'd reach more of an audience if it were high school age girls. So it'd help the story to get to theaters and also make a realistic, memorable teenage horror that high schoolers could relate to. BUT still keep the hard R rating and BRUTAL nature of the film to ensure nothing in the movie is really lost.
- Toned the dad WAY the fuck down in the finale. Yes. He was supposed to be crazy a bit. But he got a little too OTT at points.
- Maybe shown a little more of an aftermath to the ending before we got the ending video clips.
- Toned down a bit of the continuous gaming sections. Like when a pic would show up and it'd be bright flashes and stuff. A few of them are good but after a certain point it became a bit much.

Otherwise I'd let the rest remain as-is, great

THE BURNING
Oh where to begin?

- Got rid of the annoying-as-shit younger camper final boy, Allan I think? Todd was all the lead we needed.
- Kept Cropsey's backstory if necessary. But made it much, MUCH less ridicilous. Scarier.
- Keep Cropsey himself as is, he was very scary. But not bank on scares alone. I wanted more tension. The raft scene did it so well, let's see more suspense like that.
- For that matter, more character development. As is we really know very few of the victims in my opinion. Less of a focus on an insane body count, and more focus on victims we care about. That said, keep the raft scene as is because it's great.
- Let Todd remember that he was part of what happened to Cropsey if we keep the backstory. Make it haunt him. And make it difficult for him to morally murder the man he drove insane in the first place.
- Given Todd's girlfriend more to do than just stand there and look pretty.

The Rage: Carrie 2

I want to see someone fix that train wreck.
