Also think 70s was best era for proper horror. 70s all day long because that’s when film where proper films and horror was horror at its best. Jaws Omen Exorcist Tcm Halloween Dont look now Suspiria Dawn of the dead Wicker man Phantasm Carrie Black Christmas Salem’s lot Hills have eyes List is quite endless tbh They had proper, Atmosphere Tension Storyline And a decent atmospheric score to match the film, They really don’t make horrors like they use to same applies for films in general . |

The studio blockbusters may be sanitized crap but they DO make films as good as they made in the seventies or any era. For example, Sam Mendes 1917 is as good as any war film from any decade as is Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge and Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. And i'll bet i can give you similar examples of recent movies from any genre. |
Well said, Dem. If you consider films from The Shape of Water to Hereditary, A Quiet Place to Prevenge, Bone Tomahawk to A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, The Witch to Under the Shadow, Train to Busan to Get Out, the last decade has been full of inventive, exciting, and memorable genre films. |

It may not be original, but I was very impressed with the Soska sisters remake/reimagining of David Cronenberg's Rabid; American Mary is an excellent horror film. |

And i agree about both Soska sisters films. Rabid probably got made because of it's title but it's not exactly what i would call a remake of Cronenberg's film, it's a different beast altogether. I also agree that American Mary is excellent. |
I'd agree with the above about films being just as good now. Except maybe for comedies. It might be just my sense of humor or perhaps I haven't seen enough of the right ones but I only ever find myself amused at best rather than laughing out loud. Anyone care to recommend any I might not have seen? EDIT: Sorry to go off topic. Just to pull it back a really good death scene and shocking for the time was the lady burning to death at the end of Kiss Me Deadly |
