Too many, because I will only watch like 20% of them more than once or twice. I have stopped doing the impulse buys since I got NetFlix a year ago. -

So this is the second time in the last few weeks that I have attempted to thin down my movies and each time I have only been able to part with 2 and 3 respectively. lol -

I have roughly 120 horror film DVD's. In addition, I have probably 10 other DVD's for movies such as Italian Job, A Beautiful Mind, Team America, The Hangover, and others. -

Growing up I was a huge horror movie fan, I've since lost some interest. Maybe its just me, but horror movies of the 70-80s were just better. -

i agree 100% none of the recent (last 10 years) horror movies have been very good at all. The closest for me was the orginal Saw. But the sequels really hurt the original IMO. -

I still think The Exorcist is the scariest movie I have ever seen.Commander of Awesome;812536 wrote:Growing up I was a huge horror movie fan, I've since lost some interest. Maybe its just me, but horror movies of the 70-80s were just better. -

I agree that the recent horror films are not up to par with what I expect. I do have the entire Saw series, the Halloween and Friday the 13th remakes, The Collector, and a few others. Buts most are the old classics - Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Alien complete series, Jaws, Exorcist, Carrie, Shining, etc. -

This. Is. True.
Older horror films had a certain grimy realism to them. Now, it's nothing but attractive model-type people and half the movies are remakes of the classics, anyway. Or horrible SyFy Original ripoffs of them. Although those at least are good for comic relief.
Like, I rented Day of the Dead (generally considered the least great of Romero's original trilogy) a few years back. In the three days I had it, I watched it 5-6 times. A couple years ago, I got a free copy of Land of the Dead. I watched it the night I got it...and haven't since. There's just something lacking. Like a subtlety in the writing. Like, with Day of the Dead, you had more complicated character conflicts (like, the soldiers were assholes...but they had a point considering the head scientist was crazy and using their corpses as food to train his pet zombie), while in Land of the Dead, everything with the exception of Cholo was more of a black and white good vs. evil thing.
That fit with his other two older movies, too. In Night of the Living Dead, one of the neat facets was that, in retrospect, the jerkass guy who was painted as a coward was 100% right. If they stayed hidden in the basement, they'd have had a good chance of being saved by the redneck zombie-killing guys (if they didn't get shot like the black dude did). The black guy was heroic and made the "manly" choices, but each one seemed to lead to someone getting killed. In Dawn of the Dead, the whole biker/zombie apocalypse at the end might not have happened if the heroes didn't suddenly enter "NO THIS IS OUR MALL FUCK YOU" possessiveness.
You just don't see depth like that in horror that much any more. Everything's so cliched, it's just sad. -
