Basically, what movie do you think has spawned the most negative influence via copy cats, tropes, etc.

The original movie doesn’t have to be bad, in fact it probably isn’t considering the industry probably would not want to replicate a failure.

For me I’m torn between “The Ring” and the 2003 Texas Chainsaw remake.

The Ring because it seemed like after that pretty much every movie had that greenish filter over it and also because it spawned a lot of bad J-horror Samara rip-off type films.

The 2003 TCS remake because I think it is what truly launched the age of remakes as opposed to new IPs.

Neither of these movies were bad, quite the contrary in my opinion, but I do think they have both had huge negative impacts on horror.

But what about you lot? Anything come to mind to you personally?
