Love this. Lots of great observations and suggestions.
I've only seen one Qutermass film and being a fan of Hammer and Amicus stuff this was fine by me and agree as far as visuals go it stands the test of time. I was unaware there was a TV series?! No I need to search it out.
I Am Legend has always been a favorite book but I still enjoy Omega Man and Last Man on Earth despite the liberties taken. Heck, a remake of Duel with all the petrol fueled films in the last several years could work. Capitalize on the trend.
Cronenberg. The guy that finally received a lifetime achievement award up here in Canada. The man has an unusually destitute vision of horror. Touches on something we all fear which is the corruption of our flesh. Rabid would be another good one. I still like Videodrome though, the lower level of technology seems to work, it would feel a bit like Ringu replacing the tape with a DVD. Less organic technology. The more tactile the experience the more it strikes home for me. Like the idea of someone finding an old cassette tape, listening to family Christmases and birthday stuff, then at the end a hiss and the sound of someone being killed. Knowing the tape was reused and forgotten. Hmmmm a script idea.
Gremlins. Interesting idea. Would introduce the franchise to a whole new generation.
Just thought the TV movie "The Norliss Tapes" would have the potential to launch a series of supernatural investigations a la Supernatural.
Oooooh. Spectre!
