Did You Know These Classic Films Were All Remakes?

True Grit

Movie buffs love this film, but do they also love the original? The 2010 classic got quite a facelift from the 1969 version, which starred Western acting legend, John Wayne. Despite the same name and plot, the directors swore up and down that this film was not a remake. Sure...whatever helps them sleep at night...

House on Haunted Hill

If you like goofy gags and freakshow fun, House on Haunted Hill might be the remake for your next binge. This 1999 film is a remake of the 1959 Frank Castle-directed film by the same name. The biggest change was updated scares using special effects and newer technology. Well worth the investment!
