New horror has lost the plot
I must say i approach all new horror movies with a certain amount of trepidation. That's not to say Im not regularly raiding the shelves at my local dvd store or checking out all things new to the cinema world of horror, but i've been so incredibly disappointed with a lot of them. Nothing irks me more than the Saw abominations. What part are we up to now? 27? Just kidding, it's like, 4 or something, with 5 on the way...i mean, c'mon, the dude from Princess Bride was in the first one. That alone had me giggling before the flick had even got started. Whoah did i say NOTHING irks me more? That's a lie. Hostel irks me more. I hated that movie with a passion. Eli Roth couldnt write his way out of a bloodsoaked paper bag. Nevermind the plot holes, that movie sucked because it wasnt scary. It attempted to be very gross, but failed there too, because IMO the over the top gore stank of "I'm tryin to gross you out", and that doesnt work for me. I'm just rambling here...I'm not expecting any feedback on any of this, just getting stuff off my chest and to kill some time at work...christ dont get me started on the Texas Chainsaw massacre remake, or the prequel, and whatever other garbage has been spat out attempting to cash in on the success of the first (and only) Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That was a horror movie. All imitations pale by comparison. I liked Rob Zombie's music. IMO he should have stuck with music. Enough said there.
Well I've mouthed off enough for one post.
- I agree!
