Didn't see that 2005 Quatermass. I'll have to look into it.
Another movie I always thought was an idea that deserved better treatment was Cronenburg's Shivers. I heard something about someone attempting to remake that, but I don't know anything else about that project. I think the material should have had a lot more sexual explicitness than Cronenburg was able to give it back in '75. You could launch an entire subgenre of 'body horror' from that movie, 'sexual horror'. Think of how much sexual insecurity people have as it is, and how easy it would be to exploit that insecurity for the purpose of horror. 'Shivers' was a great idea in that direction, but the execution was flawed, ironically due in part to the film maker's own inhibitions, in my opinion.
