I saw the 1982 remake of "Cat People" before the original (Nastassia Kinski running around naked half the movie might have had something to do with that). I also have seen the American/English-language remakes of a lot of foreign movies before the original, like "The Ring" and "Mirrors". It's the same reason I sometimes see a movie before reading a book. It's easier to watch a movie first and decide if you'll like the book enough to devote the time to it, and it's easier sometimes to watch an English-language remake of a movie first before you dive into the foreign subtitled one.
They've yet to make a very good version of "Lord of the Flies". . .

Considering most remakes of Asian horror movies are godawful I don't think it makes sense to decide if you're gonna watch the originals or not based on how much you liked the remakes.
CG gore is the worst thing that has ever happened to the horror genre. -

I don't think I've ever
deliberately
watched a remake before the original, but it has happened on a number of occasions. Like KING KONG (1976), INVADERS FROM MARS (1986) and HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1999).

The only good things about the Oldboy remake are Elizabeth Olsen's boobs. I wouldn't watch it even though Olsen's boobs are really really good.

If I were given the choice of watching the original or the remake.no doubt I would choose the original! Seriously??? People actually make the deliberate decision to skip the original and watch the remake to see if they'll like it? Maybe it's because I was born the year The Exorcist was released in theaters and was exposed to great horror films before remakes became a common thing.

I was born the year of The Omen, so you're only slightly older than me.
I know what you mean, I just think that once in a blue moon, the remake seems a more appealing choice.
Your sarcasm has driven me to idiocy.
