The Day the World Ended (2001)
A clever re-imagining that's a lot of fun
What better way to pay homage to an old spook film than by incorporating it into the mythos of a new tale? The fact that this film reworks DAY THE WORLD ENDED by having a child conjure the title beast after seeing the original movie is great idea. Incorporating some of that small town paranoia adds just the right amount of all-too-real horror and humanity. All and all, this is a cool flick that rises way above its cheesy name.
Mermaid Chronicles Part 1: She Creature (2001)
Very, EXTREMELY positive!
This was very cool. Someone finally got the idea of a remake right by taking a mediocre movie and making it better. In this case, A LOT BETTER! It was also cool seeing a period horror film again. Lets face it, old castles and creaky sailing ships are still way more spooky than any modern locale. The mermaid was awesome, easily the best monster to find its way on to television. I couldn't believe that I was watching a made for cable flick. Great stuff!
