...I think Schrader's movie has its moments. It isn't a true remake, merely a borrowing of a few (very few) details from the original. It's not a film I want to watch very often, but I'm always interested in schrader's work. (This one is not among his best.)Val Lewton and Jacques Tourneur made two more moody horror/thriller movies together: I Walked With A Zombie (a much better film than the title suggests) and The Leopard Man. Lewton was producer on Wise's The Haunting.
I still enjoy Rosemary's Baby, maybe becasue it skewers a certain kind of New Yorker of the time. It's hard to believe now, but RB was controversial when it was originally released - it was condemned by the Cathlic Film Office (Legion of Decency). It's no Repulsion but it's still holds up IMO.
I have a guilty pleasures list too - one of which, X: Man With The X-Ray Eyes - scared the hell out of me when I was 9 or 10. Ray Milland brings some class to this Roger Corman take on "there are some things man is not meant to tamper with" theme.
I also have a soft spot for Browning's Freaks, although it's not a great film.
