Episode 174 Remaking The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)
Welcome to IOTR's month long celebration of the women who scare us to death beginning with The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) which is the first horror franchise to be written and directed entirely by women. Envisioned as a parody of the slasher genre The Slumber Party Massacre may seem derivative on the surface but it's feminist undertones hide a hilarious commentary on the medium. We can't sleep and we're going to come up with some ideas for a modern remake including our own fantasy casting.
Episode 175 Carrie (1976 Vs. 2013)
This week Invasion of the Remake takes Carrie to the Prom. What can possibly go wrong? It's Carrie (1976) Vs. Carrie (2013) in the battle of the angry telekinetics. No buckets of pig blood required to enjoy this Stephen King themed episode.
Episode 176 Remaking Near Dark (1987)
Caleb reluctantly joins a group of traveling southern vampires after being bitten by Mae, a beautiful drifter, in Near Dark (1987). Kathryn Bigelow's cult vampire, horror film starring Adrian Pasdar, Jenny Wright, Lance Henriksen, Bill Paxton, Jenette Goldstein, Tim Thomerson, and Joshua John Miller gets a light shined on it in this week's episode. Join Invasion of the Remake as we discuss, rethink, and remake Near Dark!
Episode 177 Suspiria (1977 Vs. 2018)
Suspiria (1977) is an Italian giallo classic by master of horror Dario Argento. It uses big music, odd angles, elaborate sets, and bright technicolors to create its mood. The 2018 re-imagining by Luca Guadagnina relies more on the performances of his incredible cast and an intricately layered plot for his film. Both movies challenge the senses with their dazzling visual, complex storytelling, and artful direction. Join IOTR as we close out Women in Horror Month with Suspiria!
Episode 226 Rabid (1977 Vs. 2019)
This week we return home to Canada only to find hoards of vicious zombies foaming at the mouth, ready to take a bite out of us. This week we'll be talking about David Cronenberg's Rabid (1977) starring Marilyn Chambers and Jen & Sylvia Soska's 2019 remake starring Laura Vandervoort. The only way to stop the outbreak is to listen to Invasion of the Remake!
Episode 227 Remaking Night of the Comet (1984)
It's a Friday night after the apocalypse. What's a girl to do? Anything she wants! Welcome to the Night of the Comet (1984) a sci-fi, horror, comedy about two sisters at the end of the world, with zombies! It became Joss Whedon's inspiration for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and we think it's past time to revisit it and give it the patented Invasion of the Remake treatment. Join us for post-apocalyptic frivolity as we remake Night of the Comet!
Episode 277 Remaking A Night to Dismember (1983)
The back story of Doris Wishman and A Night to Dismember (1983) is just as interesting, if not more interesting, than the film itself. Join Invasion of the Remake as we investigate, analyze, rethink and remake this infamous grindhouse style, b-horror film from the most prolific female filmmaker of her time. It will be A Night to Dismember.
Episode 327 The Eye (2002 vs 2008)
Adjusting to a world you could never see before is one thing, seeing the ghosts that reside within it is quite another. Join Invasion of the Remake as we take a look at the original Hong Kong horror film The Eye (2002) and compare it to the American remake starring Jessica Alba.
