Favourite & Worst Horror Director - and why?

[vipco]

Mattei's film's are more fun than his budget should allow for, so the guy's gotta have talent.

[b.m.fruen]

Dario Argento is my favourite horror director because his films as so stylish and interesting. Sergio Martino is a close second.
I don't really have a worst director.

[Rotten]

my faves are:

Julien Temple (There will always be an England, Filth anf the Fury)
Brian Yuzna
Ruggero Deodato
Umberto Lenzi
Mario Bava
Dario Argento
Lucio Fulci
Penelope Spherris



My hates:

George Romero (after Day Of...)
Abel Ferrera (the commentary on driller killer annoyed me)
Alex Cox (he ****ed up the Sid and Nancy story)

[Phurious]

Fave: Lucio Fulci for just going all out and having one of the darkest sense of humours in the business and his unerring ability of producing genuine shocks.

Least fave: Rob Zombie for his lack of originality. He's a very dull film maker with a fine line in generic genre film making.

[Make Them Die Slowly]

Since I first posted on this thread David Cronenberg has been joined by Michael and Roberta Findlay as all time faves. Not to everyone's taste but if you forgive them "Snuff" and go back to their 60s films a whole world of go go dancing murder and mayhem awaits.

[Baseball Fury]

Favourite horror directors are: Alfred Hitchcock, Dario Argento, John Carpenter, Takashi Miike and Steve Miner.


Worst? Ronnie Yu, Rob Zombie and James Wan.

[Hammer time]

Fulci.

Jesus Franco
Umberto Lenzi (cannibal ferox is fun the rest meh)
Jean Rollin

[Beyond72]

Favourites:

John Carpenter
Mario Bava
Alfred Hitchcock
Dario Argento
Sergio Martino


Worse: Zack Snyder

His pointless slow motion shots wind me up.

I love the uber-gory cheesefest that is Cannibal Ferox, but I also find Lenzi's barking mad Nightmare City just as much fun.
