Why do such great directors, who could obviously produce precious metals from base metals, with no budget at all make great atmospheric, original, timeless classics, drift slowly into making average, with no substance or originality, movies that avergage joe director can knock out? Carpenter, Argento, Wes Craven, Corman.......these people surely dont run out of ideas, creativity because I see them as gifted with talent, something that should never leave them, so why the drivvle later on in their careers? Budget? Audience? Studios?
All the above and many more have changed my life over the years and I will always whatch what they churn out as we all will, even if its just to say how bad it is!
Carpneters They Live is brilliant, the soundtrack is soooo moody all the way through, cheesy in a great way!
Halloween changed my whole outlook on movies when first watched as a kid, I remember having a VHS video recorder, rented it out and using a portable cassette deck, recorded the movie onto tape to listen to in my bedroom in the dark. Bliss!
Vampires was a good film for his later efforts......Dark Star on Blu ray? yes please.
