For example House of Wax 2005. I know this has been classified as a “loose remake” because it barely has any connection except for the fact that the killer turns his victims into wax sculptures and that there’s a bit of an homage to the original by having the killer named Vincent. Also the studio behind it was Dark Castle Entertainment Who were known at the time to make remakes of 50’s horror movies.
I own a bunch of remakes and sometimes it says on the back of the cover “based on the screenplay” or “based on characters” so they give credit to the original movies. So why don’t some remakes do this as well? And how does a movie actually become an official remake of an older movie without the director saying “it’s just inspired by blank movie”?
