On the death of horror as a genre
I just read this killer article in cinifantastic (sp?) where the topic of horror as a genre discussed by a couple famous directors. Go check it out it really made me think.
Personally I'm absolutly fucking sick of seeing this "WB" horror shit these days. Dont get me wrong there have been some good flicks lately, but looking at the genre as a whole, right now is a pretty sad time. This whole, remake, VS., thing is really getting to me. For chists sake Im tired of seeing pop singers on the screen. My favorite movie are movies like the original Haunting, that movie was scary as fuck, and it never even showed the ghosts. When i go to a movie i dont want to see anything even resembling Boyonce Noles or bullet time. And whats with all the cheesed out one liners? It seems to me that this industry has turned into more camp and satire than actual story telling. Just look at jason X, WTF was that? Any thoughts?
