Does... does this mean we have to do battle or something?

Daniel Son.... You aren't ready for the battle of "Snacks" food.

Maybe one day....





One day...

what is "The Hills Have Eyes" about?

King
Carpenter
Barker
Raimi

they've all been called ''Master of Horror'' at some point.

I think it's appropriate to call Wes the Master of modern horror which is what he's refered to as most of the time because whether you like it or not all the Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream films have done well.

I first saw this movie when it was originally released at a drive in and it left a lasting impression on me! I was only 10 yrs. old and I have never forgotten it. Not that it scared me but it, for the time was very gory. I purchased it on VHS as soon as it came out on it, and I resently got it on DVD in a collection.

It is a must have movie for anyones collection!

hmm
 

A Nightmare On Elm St is an awesome movie, he also made the third movie of a series of 7.

All the rest were crap except the ones he had something to do with.

After the Scream series it went downhill, Scream gave the horror industry new life for fucks sake.

Yes I admit what he has been making the past few years is crap though.;)

Re: hmm
 

I guess if you like teen horror movies

Scream's reflexivity was surely a landmark for the genre. and revivifying... despite the fact that its injection of new life resulted in endlessly piss-poor derivative remakes... come to think of it Kevin Williamson has a lot to answer for... although I like The Faculty - The Faculty and Scream are very good at what they do...

but none of these films can hold a candle to the pure, visceral, adrenaline fuelled horror of films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Last House on the Left... they were blazing a furious trail back then. the sheer horror has become diluted by postmodern irony to such an extent that a back to basics approach is now inescapably, itself an ironic statement.

wait, what am I saying? I don't know. seventies horror and exploitation is wonderful stuff and still very powerful. the current rash of remakes sickens me: it is patronising to assume that your audience is too stupid to get over its hang-ups with dated aesthetics and production-values. there is decent horror material coming out here and there though, of course. Funny Games and Audition are to exemplary movies, but I suppose they are quite old school now... Come to think of it FG is a film that is deeply reflexive, yet this doesn't mitigate its power in any way whatsoever...

A family is stranded in the desert, when their vehicle towing a camper breaks down. That night a family of cannibalistic inbreeds who live in the surrounding foothills attacks them.

Last House, is great, IMHO. You need to consider the period, early 70’s and what the film dealt with. Craven says he wanted it to reflect what was happening in Society at the time, Vietnam, Manson Murders, etc. The way he portrayed cruelty and indifference for human life is what makes the movie most disturbing for me. Remember, keep telling yourself, “it’s only a movie”, “it’s only a movie”!
