I'm only gonna go on a rant like this once. Well, no, I already went on a rant like this before, so this is time #2. But bear with me:
I know there's a lot of people on this forum that haven't seen the older stuff. People who really have been CGI'd to death. People who don't remember that the "Star Wars" films didn't feature digital creatures, originally. But really, do yourself a favor, and watch some old films. Go back to the 20's and see "Nosferatu" and "Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." (Heck, go back farther than that and see some of Georges Melies' films. See "The Great Train Robbery," too.) See the Universal horror classics of the 30's and 40's. And try to imagine how completely scared and freaked out the audiences of those times were. Because they were. And these films are all still legit. These "old" films are all still effective--if you can place yourself in the mindframe OF THE AUDIENCES OF THE TIME. If you can do that, you will see that horror films have a tapestry of marvelous history. Today came out of yesterday. Yes, do yourself a favor and see some nice old films. It takes an effort to do the research, the homework. And it also costs money. But it's worth it. The craftsmanship of these older films is, I'm sorry to say, better than the majority of what is being made today. Nowadays horror films tend to rely on 1. Loud noises on the cool digital soundtrack. 2. Startling MTV-style flash cutting--boring as hell. 3. Media hype that convinces you that the film is good before you even see it. "Dawn of the Dead," back when it came out, freaked out audiences very seriously. It gave some people nightmares. Many, many people were shocked and startled, because they hadn't seen anything like it before. And it was good. That's my rant! Wishing everyone a great holiday season!

Totally agree with what you're saying filmaker 2. But at that age i know i was the same. At 14 i saw original dotd, i also saw the shining. I remember thinking what a load of shit- wheres the gore? I saw the shining again 2-3 years later & loved the film & its now one of my favourite films, I was just ignorant at that age. What pisses me off more than dumb fuck mtv fed teenagers are these people who won't watch foreign films or even black & white films.
I got mates who won't watch subtitles, So i lend them Haute Tension which is dubbed, he says awesome film but the syncs out! I've given up trying to eduacte most of them i just leave them to their Tomb Raiders, Resident Evils, & AVP, while they label me the weirdo.

Hey, I fucking hate all the Evil Dead movies and Gay-Ass-Ash but everyone else seems to like him.
We all have different tastes in movies.

I'm convinced that saying old shit is garbage is just part of being young. We all went through it. I can remeber hating anything in B&W, without ever watching it. I hated the Rolling Stones because my parents liked them. That's just how it goes until you get to about 25 , then you take a much more cerebral view instead of trying to be different . You end up liking what you like, not what's cool at the time. And this generation is just trained to treat any movie that takes time to establish a story as boring. They'll get over it the more immersed in movies they become. Casual movie goers never will, but who gives a shit about them?
Anyway, DOTD is a classic. But the problem is it's not a straight up horror movie. Theres satirical moments all through it which many youngsters will never notice. And it is dated in terms of style, and you know kids...
