Opinions are usually based on fact. Though it's true that not all modern horror films are awful, the majority are. Sa,e goes for the classics, alot of them arent all they're cracked up to be. Jaws and The Exorcist spring to mind right away, both are very overrated and would almost certainly fail today. I try not to be biased just because a film is new...for example, I enjoyed The Skelleton Key. Though it was no classic, it was an entertaining film that far exceeds it reputation. Same goes for White Noise. However, public opinion has to come from somewhere, doesnt it? It's from the fact that most Hollywood horror flicks simply arent good anymore. Boogeyman for example, that was just a terrible film all-around. Alone in the Dark is another. Personally I dont like to discriminate against a movie simply due to when it was made, but it's an esy mistake to make.

I should've posted this earlier, but I didn't. So, here it is now:

16 blocks kicked ass.

I'm glad to hear that! I was going to see it in theaters, but by the time I got the money (I was very low at the time), they took ity out of the theater. Can't wait to see it when it comes out on video. Glad to hear it kicked ass! Bruce Willis is the shit! :cool:
