Those could actually be a worthy remake. Has potential that wasn’t mined.

Movies that lose a lot of money rarely get remade unless they turn into a beloved classic.

The Keep isn't beloved by enough people for anyone to consider remaking it. And if they did remake it, I guarantee it would lose money again.

I appreciate the sentiment but this movie doesn't need a remake. For one main reason: the original cut is 210 minutes compared to the released 90 minute cut. That's 2 hours of this movie just left out. Restoring the original cut would be the move, as the movie is so clearly cut to shreds. Despite that it is an interesting watch, and I doubt a remake could touch the incredible set design and score of the original.

Thing is, the book is far more Vampire but with a twist. Manns's film, for all its butchered flaws is far more sureal cosmic horror and actually more scary because of that. Molasarr could be millions of years old, the root of all evil its never explained.

Me and my buddy were Seniors in HS when we went and saw this. All I remember is us walking out of the theater saying, "What the fuck did we just watch?"

The book is a solid read, though absolutely a product of its time. The ending left a little to be desired, but in the right hands with the right director and cinematographer it could be an amazing film.

I've read all 18 or so of the books & the Keep was cool but only really works well in the repairman Jack universe

a movie about how they trapped Radu Molasar in The Keep. the armies that sacrificed themselves or the priests or wizards / witches or all of them to hold the evil in place while The Keep was built around them or lured the evil into The Keep.

I always viewed The Keep as a offshoot of The Twighlight Zone's The Howling Man.. its never how they trapped evil, its how evil is released upon the world..

make a movie on trapping the evil & how that happened...& who's left to guard the evil from ever getting out.
