I respect your view, deamonia, but your verdict on modern horror movies focussing too much on the gore instead of the scares reminds me of tons of reviews I read about the 70's/80's wave of "splatter movies", which we consider to be classics these days....  |
While I also like gore movies, I do think the new trend is to focus on it alot and forget about story. Thats why movies like LTROI are such a refreshing change. Collector was good but was not that gory I dont think. Hostel 1 was pretty bad. The 2001 maniacs remake was pretty good I thought as it mixed gore and comedy.
