2016 and Psycho is still a better movie than Insidious.
Desensitization is real,look at TWD for example,ten years ago that would have been too gruesome to show yet now its on the box every week for everyone to see.
But what modern movies lack is the style and atmosphere that the older classic movies have in abundance.Today it is all about sexy teens and gore.
Firstly i hate movies with teens in them,give me real people who i can like and not just lust after because they have a hot bod.And although i like gore the less is more comes into play.Take TCM for example,there is hardly a drop spilt yet it comes with such acclaim that its a video nasty,what it is is a masterfully crafted story.Something the modern directors need to learn from i feel.
