And a 20.You've been watching too many Omen trailers...which I can't see myself seeing since the trailer makes it look like just like the original one or two movies in the series. Damian on a tricycle, damian on a swing, damian with a big black hellhound, damian with his babysitter hanging from the roof... Even the priest looks like he'll be getting the iron-bar impalement treatment...
Nothing original in US horror movies anymore.
Subtle but important distinction - you prefer psychological thrillers, as opposed to the general Horror genre.Maugrim_The_Reaper wrote:Anymoe, probably a harsh general assessment. But it's my "general feeling" of the genre. When I think horror movie I keep thinking of The Shining, Poltergeist, the original Omen, and lots of others. But they all seem to have been made 70's/80's. Very little jumps out of the late 90's to present that strike me as "real I'm-shuddering-in-terror horror". Maybe "disturbing" would work better to describe those later ones...
I completely agree. Sadly, once Hollywood has a hit, they stamp it with the word "Franchise", and churn out crap sequels that destroy the very things that made the original a hit.Maugrim_The_Reaper wrote:I forgot about Saw, not bad. But then I saw Saw II... House, traps, TV muppet, yada, yada, yawn.
His upcomings are a Fantasy, and another non-horror. I'd love to see him dig in and do a solid horror movie. (The Woods didn't count, in my opinion).Maugrim_The_Reaper wrote:M. Night Shyamalan, not horror, but very cool. Big fan. Waiting for next one coming soon.
There was a substantial fallout from the success of Elm Street, and it did substantially erode the genre. I think prior to Elm Street, we had a much better balance between true psych horror, and gore/violence/humor horror.Maugrim_The_Reaper wrote:I should note I have this bad attitude to horror/action movies of the late 90's/00's - probably a numbers game, quantity up, quality down. Still gems, just not so many... For some reason I can watch Mad Max repeatably and munch my popcorn gleefully but can barely remember most movies from that 90-00 period I could enjoy watching more than twice with an extended cooling off period.
