Horror News Radio 46 — Robocop 2014 | Top 5 Horror Remakes

Robocop (2014)  revisits the territory blazed by Paul Verhoeven in the 1987 original film, except watered down for a PG-13 audience. To be fair, the remake is geared more as a straight-laced action flick with heavy sci-fi overtones and one singularly frightening scene of extraordinary body-horror. What will the grue-crew think?

Thomas continues the theme with the Top 5 of the Week bringing his Top 5 Under Appreciated Remakes featuring films like  Little Shop of Horrors,  Dawn of the Dead  and  12 Monkeys.  Wait. What? Yup, it’s a remake.

Co-hosts  Doc Rotten,  Santos (The Black Saint) Ellin Jr.,  Dave Dreher  and  Thomas Mariani  also tackle the “What You Have Been Watching” segment for this week discussing the hit HBO show,  True Detective. Dave closes the show with the Horror News of the Week with updates on  Penny Dreadful,  The Purge: Anarchy  and  Beetlejuice 2.
