Horror films today just aren't frightening.
I remember during the 70's when classics such as The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Jaws would make the nightly news due
to people either fainting, vomiting or having heart attacks while viewing them in the theater. Of course back then the very idea of a possessed child, a family
of cannibals and a murderous giant shark was original and never seen before. They shocked the nervous system. They struck unjaded audiences like a cannonball
to the chest.
These days they just crank out horror films like crappy Yugoslavian automobiles on an assembly line. Sure, they might give them a few shiny bolts and possibly
a working radio that's capable of picking up FM, but the design is still the same, they break down easily and are hardly worth the money.

Love Guru seems likely to be the most horrifying film of all time.

Has anyone here ever seen Sleepaway Camp? I didn't think it could get worse until my roommate made me watch the sequel.

Nothing is untouchable in the land of Hollywood. They figure if it worked once, it'll work again, thus all the remakes/reboots. Once in awhile we are
treated to a great original horror film but those are rare. Still not all the remakes are horrible, once in awhile, you get a good one for the most part they
are dreadful.

Would The Bridge be considered a horror film?

"The Shining", "The Exorcist" and Dario Argentos' "The Church" creep me out every time.

Apparently they are planning sleepaway camp 4 with the original actress. Sleepaway camp had to be the most homerotic horror movie that I have ever seen

Anyone remember that awful movie, Troll, they had the protagonist who was named Harry Potter, this was way before the Harry Potter book series. Apparently that
movie is being remade. I doubt they'll be able to name the protagonist Harry Potter. JK Rowling would probably sue. The sequel to that movie, was
disgusting, I could never watch it, it was nasty.
Pumpkinhead series, was another horrible movie series, it got worse when sci-fi channel made two direct sequels to the series. I do think the creature was kind of creepy though, as a kid it scarred me but when I saw it about a year ago, I was like this is lame. The sci-fi channel original movies, always deliver the worst movies. |
