Hollywood's addiction to remaking beloved classics has produced some of cinema's most pointless and offensive do-overs. These remakes failed to justify their existence and only served to remind audiences how superior the originals were.

Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot color remake of Hitchcock's masterpiece was a bizarre experiment that proved originality cannot be photocopied. Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates remains one of the most baffling casting decisions in film history.
Neil LaBute's remake replaced the British original's pagan dread with Nicolas Cage punching women in bear costumes and screaming about bees. It became an unintentional comedy classic and a meme goldmine.

Spike Lee's Hollywood remake of Park Chan-wook's brutal Korean revenge masterpiece stripped away everything that made the original shocking and subversive. It flopped with critics and audiences alike, earning just $5 million worldwide.

Len Wiseman's joyless remake of Paul Verhoeven's satirical sci-fi classic removed Mars, the dark humor, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's unhinged charisma. Colin Farrell sleepwalked through a generic chase film devoid of personality.

Jose Padilha's PG-13 reboot neutered Verhoeven's savagely satirical R-rated original into a toothless, committee-designed product. The decision to give Robocop a black suit and visible human hand symbolized everything wrong with the approach.

Rupert Wainwright's remake of John Carpenter's atmospheric ghost story replaced practical fog effects with cheap CGI and added gratuitous jump scares. It holds a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was disowned by Carpenter himself.

Ericson Core's extreme sports remake stripped away the original's charm, humor, and Keanu-Swayze chemistry. Despite impressive stunt footage, the film was a soulless exercise in missing the point of what made the 1991 film beloved.
Niels Arden Oplev's remake of Joel Schumacher's cult 1990 thriller traded its predecessor's Gothic visual style for generic horror aesthetics. Ellen Page and Diego Luna were wasted in a script that added nothing to the original concept.

Timur Bekmambetov's attempt to remake William Wyler's 1959 epic replaced practical chariot races with unconvincing CGI. It cost $100 million and earned just $94 million worldwide, becoming one of the year's biggest flops.

Gil Kenan's remake of Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg's 1982 suburban horror classic replaced genuine terror with jump scares and CGI. Sam Rockwell deserved better than this forgettable, by-the-numbers haunted house retread.
