I guess it comes down to whatever floats your boat though but I'd rather watch someone marauding around in the woods wearing a rubber monster outfit than the vast majority of straight to video cash-ins that are made today. |

How do I put this this? Do you not find the tone of the '70s and '80s far more gritty and exploitative, rather than the general output of today? Now I know that shockers can still get made these days, but overall, do you not think that the films from then have a far rougher edge than now? Maybe it's the old rose tinted spectacles situation, but I'm definitely in the 70s/80s camp.

Generally speaking, I find the low-budget films from the 1970s and '80s more imaginative and less cynical than the ones made now. They tend to have more original ideas and are less reliant to be rehashing an idea from a film with a bigger budget or part of a cycle of films, such as possession found footage. In general, they are more likely to be interesting.

These days you end up with the likes of the uninspiring 'Mama' which throws scene after scenes of lifted material from other better movies but brings nothing new to the table bar some shoddy CGI that could have easily been done more convincingly physically and saved some cash. |

Once Hitchcock released Psycho then nothing in the slasher genre for example was original. The same goes for Plague of the Zombies, once they climbed out of their graves every other zombie film was suddenly half inching that idea. It must be terribly difficult to come up with an original horror idea today. The genre's been about since the first Gothic horror novel in 1764. The Italians churned out so much crap on top of the great films of the era, i think that tends to be forgotten. Take the spaghetti western. For every Django there's forty near worthless, uninspired riffs on the idea. |

I like the idea of modern films blatantly ripping off the latest big money maker or endlessly churning out the same old shit. It is exploitation cinema in one of it's more pure forms. I personally prefer 60s and 70s guff to the modern stuff but there are plenty of gems out there if you are willing to play supermarket cheapo dvd roulette....
