It has been remade many times; perhaps the best version after the original is Run for the Sun and the worst but funniest version is Blood Lust wonderfully lampooned by the MST3K crowd.
Nothing is more beautiful than nothing. -

It was remade many many times (especially in B-movies) but the best remake so far is definitely "Predator". Think about it, it was a highly advanced and highly sophisticated hunter (okay, so it was an alien) and he hunts down people for pleasure through a jungle. The best remake of this movie.

This great classic movie has been an inspiration to many film makers both good and bad. It actually has been remade many times under different names. Besides the above it was remade as "Lethal Woman" a B movie about an Army woman who was raped by a general who goes mad after wards and buys an island. There with the help of other rape victims she lures rapists to the island and hunts them down. It was also redone on the old Inredible Hulk show in which David Banner is lured onto the island by a mad man who doesn't know of course that he is the hulk. You're right, though, it would be cool to see the origional remade as itself.

I would like to see this movie remade. But I like it to be exactly as the short story is, not any different. I really dont like it when they chage the stories because the writer had a reason to write the story as it is!

maybe not as a feature. Connell's story is 8000 words, a short written for a pulp magazine. Any screen feature would have to expand on it to some degree, flesh out the characters, add dialog, etc.
That a screen adaptation is not sufficiently like the original material is a very common complaint, but it really reveals a lack of understanding of what has to go into screenwriting. We have to be content with an
adaptation
which will never be the same as the original, but the best adaptations capture the flavor of the original in a new medium.
