That's true. Instead of remaking the film, they should just hire industry experts to make an English dub. With the original separated audio tracks it can be done extremely well. I don't think many companies have tested the current market to see if a profit can be made from doing it properly. I would rent the English dub.

My favorite remake is the thing it is so well made from the production value to the score plus it's an interesting premise I only wish the 2011 sequel would have been made better

Wolfman for sure. I don't like it more than the original, and it's certainly not perfect. But it's one of my favorites, and about the only remake I can stomach.

My top remake is Herzog's Nosferatu, from 1979. How anyone would improve on Murnau's 1922 version, I couldn't imagine, and then I saw THIS amazing movie. For me, it's possibly the only remake I prefer to the original.

Close would be House of Wax (1953) with Vincent Price, which I love, but I still like Lionel Atwill and Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) a bit better.

Honorable mentions:
The Thing (1982)
Thir13en Ghosts (2001)
The Blob (1988)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Carrie (2013)
Dawn of the Dead (2004)

While I have to say Evil dead (2013). But part of me won't say that because it's a reboot and not a remake, and glad it's not a straightforward remake too.

So I would have to say at this moment its Poltergeist . I did like Halloween though a lot, but hated part two, so I can't let myself count that in the list. And I also loved Friday the 13th, but it serves as both a reboot, and a sequel in one.

[Lord Voldemort]

Dawn Of The Dead. Honorable mention to The Fly and Halloween.

Nosferatu 1979
House of Wax 1953

There's already an English dub of Martyrs. I made the mistake of watching that version the first time I saw it. Terrible. The original French version is one of my favorites though.

I would have to say John Carpenters The Thing and David Cronenbergs The Fly.
Two awesome movies with great body horror.
They do everything a remake should do which is to try and improve on films that are flawed in some way.

What do you consider flawed about The Thing From Another World(1951)?
