Who Agrees With Me That

[The Horror fanatic]

Most movies nowadays are overhyped. Take the horror films, best horror since exorcist, and crap like that. I seen exorcist uncut and it stank like hell, the end of the 70s to the mid 80s saw a big stream of horror films, and classics like friday the 13th and a nightmare on elm street totally piss on the exorcist. As for nowadays the only decent horrors i have seen are
Sleepless(dario Argento)
Opera(Dario Argento)
freddy Vs jason
Jeepers creepers 1 and 2
The ring
Ringu 1 and 2
The eye
All are very good and the one i look forward to next is HOUSE OF THE DEAD. Not one in the list was overhyped like Wrong turn, which was not as good as it said, and the same goes for My little eye and Long time dead

[joops]

just passin` but i thought jeepers creepers look like some buffy the vampire slayer shit, haven`t seen the 2nd. i liked requiem for a dream
pi;equibrium;memento;matrix 1&2;the hulk;audition;training day;the secretary
and a lot more.

Totally agree with people slating 90/00's Horror flicks (Scream, Jeepers Creepers, I Know what ya did last Tuesday!?!?&#33...They're all piss poor excuses for horror, Like Dawsons Creek on Bad Acid and PMT, they just dont scare ya..make ya feel uncomfortable etc...Thats a combo of things, and i'll let BAD acting slide coz 70/80's horror flicks had some of the worst acting ever commmited to cellophane!?! In the 80's, horror movies looked more Raw, shoestring budgets, unknown actors etc..and i think that definetely helped tha genre at the time..Maybe the Horror flick as we knew it has been and gone, had their time..coz this goes back to the question of the thread itself, about no good movies nowadays and i think its a combination of things...some styles of a certain genre have now gone...Horror flicks (made on the cheap, the argento stuff etc), Action movies (in the style of Arnies/Stallones 80's stuff, wave after wave of bad guys getting mown down), these type of flicks we all enjoyed immensely and i think thats what people think back to when judging todays movies.........Dont get me wrong some modern stuff has been f***in great-
The Usual suspects
Heat
Silence of the Lambs
Blade
The Matrix etc .etc...

But come on compare that to-
Beverley Hills cop
Robocop
Predator
A nightmare on Elm street (the 1st one people not part 32)
Cheech & Chong Up in smoke
The Empire strikes back
Rambo 2

No competition.....LOL.......

Its sorta Tongue in Cheek in m8...and also the list for Older flicks would be much extensive than the more modern movies (but i thought i had typed enough already)..

and the end of the 70s to the mid 80s did spur some films being banned in the uk. Exorcist just aint scary at all. But i saw maniac other day uncut and man some of the stuff he does in it, no wonder it was banned. He blows this guys head to bits with a shotgun, real good stuff. They seem too scared to do it with some style nowadays, but i will give thumbd up to the following 3.
Final destination 2, totally ruled for the death scenes
freddy vs jason, because it was just ten times better than i expected
jeepers creepers 2, because it pissed on the 1st one and the killings were better as well. But if you want gore you cannot go wrong with any argento film, man did he go over the top in some of his horror films, no wonder i am a fan

[ehnoismemu]

me.

I agree. This year has been dire for movies with only a few exceptions.
