There are certain films you do not remake, anything by hitchcok, anything by scorsese, anything by welles and this movie, you do not remake this movie because you cannot make that metamorphisis scene with CGI it always looks rubbish
I heard that there will be a re-make. I won't C it because I've given up on horror films. But, when I did watch them, this was among my top two scariest movies ever. I also noticed that it dealt with other issues under the radar like witchcraft and racism (the lead character was Jewish: hence, the double nightmare scene). The witchcraft part was referenced when they saw the five pointed star (pentagram) on the wall. I can't watch the film anymore, but, I can say that it scared me.
I would love to see Edgar Wright direct and produce or even WRITE the remake of An American Werewolf In London because I think a remake can't hurt anybody because a lot of horror movies have been remade though.
The only way a remake could possibly stand on its own would be to be less a remake and more a "spiritual sequel" like Shaun of the Dead: ordinary, relatable, funny people confronted with something horrific and supernatural and trying to deal with it rationally. In others words don't rip off a classic, do your own fucking movie in the same vein.

Only people that aren't horror fans would say something like that.

I'm not sure, and you know what, I don't think it needs re-made.

This is my all-time favourite films. By the way, is it true that there may be a remake of this film?
