scary and smart?
 

hey, what do you guys think of this article? http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...672623,00.html i think i perfer gorey and dumb over scary and smart.

I prefer scary and smart.

I prefer big breasted and smart.


Oh wait.. Scaryand smart.


Wrong question:rolleyes:

I haven't read the article yet, but I can already tell you that scary and smart has a more lasting effect on me than gory and dumb. If you want producers to start making more good horror movies, you need to start demanding better quality. Gory and dumb is not quality. Any retard can make gory and dumb. But, I'll read the article anyway.

That was a good, well-informed article (although it gives Shyamalan more praise than he deserves ... but I haven't seen The Village yet, so I'll hold back on that). It almost makes me wonder if Richard Corliss (the author of the article) was the guy who made that thread about what makes a good horror film. Corliss repeats most of our sentiments also precisely. Pretty fuckin' cool.

Scary and Smart all the way....i love the psychological shit...

i don't know, i think i just miss the gore factor. there isn't alot of gore theese days. i mean, don't get me wrong, i love creepy subtle movies, but i also want my gore. i personally think that the texas chainsaw masscre remake did what i am trying to describe. they made a film that was creepy, gruesome and bueitful.

Cabin Fever is a good example of gore done correctly. I'm a hardened horror veteran, but I still was grossed out by this movie.

Hmmm ... it seems that we are two sides of the same coin. I did not like the remake at all. The original was perfect in executing its intent; the remake just turned it into another mindless slasher. I don't mind a little gore, but it bothers me when the selling point of a whole film is just the gore. Gore does nothing for me, horror-wise. It may gross me out, a little. But it certainly is not horrifying.

True, the shaving of the legs sequence really set my nerves on end.
