That's an important distinction. Roald Dahl's screenplay for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – at least how it's presented in the film – is a very loose adaptation of his book.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is much more faithful to the source material, benefits from excellent visual effects, has some very funny quirky humour, and has some really good songs.

When I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at the cinema, I didn't like it at all. I read the book that evening and went back to the cinema the next day to watch it again and thought it was excellent – it's amazing what a difference reading the novel made.

The Strangers’ Remake Has Started Production With Lionsgate
The original film The Strangers came out in 2008 and starred Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. The film was a sleeper hit and led to the 2018 sequel The Strangers: Prey at Night. The original is high on my list of personal favorites

Another 'notorious video nasty' is being remade


‘Faces of Death’ Remake Has Begun Filming This Week / Bloody Disgusting
"“The new plot revolves around a female moderator of a YouTube-like website, whose job is to weed out offensive and violent content and who herself is recovering from a serious trauma, that stumbles across a group that is recreating the murders from the original film. But in the story primed for the digital age and age of online misinformation, the question faced is are the murders real or fake?”"

One of the most inventive and enjoyable films of recent years - 'One Cut Of The Dead' - is being remade as the American film 'Final Cut'

"Directed by Oscar-winner Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist), Final Cut follows a director (Romain Duris, L’Auberge Espagnole) charged with making a live, single-take, low-budget zombie flick in which the cast and crew, one by one, actually turn into zombies. Oscar nominee Bérénice Bejo (The Artist), Matilda Lutz (Revenge), and Finnegan Oldfield (Corsage) also star in the mega meta comedy. Yoshiro Takehara, who appeared as a producer in the original, will also make an appearance in the remake."

Both of those last two are the epitome of “what’s the point?” But that Spider Baby trailer in particular yikes…
