 'Favourite & Worst Horror Director - and why?'
My fave horror film director of all time is Dario Argento, I have all his films, TENEBRE being the best.
Others include Lucio Fulci, for THE NEW YORK RIPPER, THE BEYOND etc, Mario Bava, A BAY OF BLOOD the original slasher movie, Lamberto Bava, DEMONS & DEMONS 2, John Carpenter, for the best non-CGI horror THE THING, Ruggero Deodato, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST and Michele Soavi, STAGEFRIGHT and DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE, David Cronenberg. SHIVERS, RABID, THE FLY, VIDOEDROME, George A. Romero for the DEAD films DAWN is my fave, Pitof (he made the fantastic French supernatural horror VIDOCQ, my fave French film.
The worst horror directors are;
Paul WS Anderson for crap like RESIDENT EVIL and ALIEN VS PREDATOR, and he had the moronic view that Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD was outdated, not surprising he was criticised.
Rob Zombie, for being overrated and yet another remake director. boring.
