For me, it has to be “Old Boy” which is originally a Korean movie but the US version sucks so much that it remains incomparable. Another contender is “The Ring” again a Japanese movie (the ending differs between both versions, as the original one refers to the protagonist’s father sacrificing himself but the remake states that the cursed tape is being sent to someone else, passing the omen towards another stranger).
The only answer here is all of them…
Nah, Funny Games was an English language version of the Euro version.
That film is dark AF though.
Funny Games shouldn’t really count because it’s the same director with an actual budget to do what he wanted to do in the first place.
I didn’t realise that. But I agree.
I never realised. And I still like the original better.
It was also made by Haneke himself because he thought the message was important to give to Americans whom he perceive as loving violence.
Oh, that explains that one then.
Yeh :3
It also helps that he had the foresight to cast Naomi Watts. She is, to this day, one of the most underrated actresses in Hollywood. I will always give a movie a chance if she’s in it. She always delivers even if the movie is trash.
I didn’t know they remade that one. I watched the original for the first time a few months ago.
Excellent film, but yikes-a-rooni
I never saw The Departed but it won Martin Scorsese his only oscar so it must be good. I’ve only seen the original Infernal Affairs and I quite enjoyed it.
