This is my kinda thread. Good horror movies are rare these days. And when they do come around it is usually not from Hollywood. Like 28 days & weeks later, Let the right one in and Shaun of the Dead.Reading old Fangoria magazines and listening to the commentaries of my favourite movies makes me suspect that the reason might be that back in the 80's most horror filmmakers were more creative and put their heart and soul in to their projects. While nowadays people do horror just to earn loads of cash and don't care if the movie is bad as long as it is financially successful.Visiting forums like this one and reading all the hype and positive response for dull crap like unimaginative Platinum Dunes remakes and torture porn really saddens me and makes me lose hope in todays generation of horror fans.
