the classics
read all of it before replying
why cant we return to the classics like the blob, a masterpiece(not really now but back then, way hay!)
some of the horrow films today are good but compare them to the classics.....and the newer horror films win in most areas, but thats what most people like about the old horrors, there badness, there b grade style, GRINDHOUSE
tarintino was the first to pitch the idea, and it was a succes, cars travelling at a hurndred miles an hour, rodriegus with zombies from left and right, but it was there badness that made thewm good, why cant we have more of them?
other stingy films like the original dracula (even tho its really old) is a good film, so why cant we have more of them rather than remakes the directers make?, i mean there are some shockers of remakes, like that show, 91210 or some s**t, sure its a tv show, but it should have been left to die, not brought back from the dead, (mind you it does sound like a good b grade horror movie-'o')
my final point is that, we need better films, films today are either copys of others, or remakes, we need mopre original films, just like the style of grindhouse.
p.s. i am way befor my time......and research grindhouse, its not a grainy nlack and white film, its much more(only a bit really, but and important bit
Yeah I'm an old school horror fan so I know what you mean. Night of the Living Dead et al.
I think there's only been a few impressive ones in recent decades. Saw was good until they made follow ups. The Abyss was also good. At least it wasn't a reversion of something I'd already seen. I'm not crazy about 'it was the aliens' storylines but apart from that it was good. Theres a few shipboard horrors that are good.
The Japs seem to be doing some good horror with that stuff that gets remade by hollywood like The Ring and [i][Dark Water/i].
Maybe it's asia's turn to shine in horror.
