As you would possibly anticipate, the listing options an inordinate quantity are remakes, the most important offenders together with The Fog, Jacob’s Ladder, Flatliners, and Martyrs. Similar goes for sequels, as Jason, Jaws, the residing useless, and an American werewolf make their appearances. After which there’s motion pictures that can by no means even get a sniff of an opportunity for a sequel, like Sandra Bullock’s Premonition, the Daniel Craig clunker Dream Home, or the eerily and aptly-titled The Disappointments Room. Just lately, Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey suitably defiled the general public area.
