How many other films can lay claim to a scene like that?

I think it's much better. The old version was way too bright and this was corrected here. Also, fine detail is superior. My only complaint is that it uses a 1.0 mono track which just comes out of the centre speaker unless you change your amplifier settings. I personally prefer 2.0 mono tracks where it comes out of both front speakers. There's also quite an odd thing where a subtitle reading Cat O Nine Tails is on screen when the English 'Cat O Nine Tails' film title comes up during the credits (hope that makes sense). I avoid that by completely turning off the optional translation subtitles whilst film is playing - Italian text on things like drawers in the institute is fairly easy to understand, I personally don't need those subs and just find them quite a bit distracting. Hope that helps.

I'm going to engender a lot of hate here, but personally I would rather watch something like Hills Have Eyes 2 or The Funhouse than any of the modern horror films out today.

Babadook, Happy Death Day, the IT remake, all "quite" good but instantly forgettable like a sitcom episode. Nothing lasts or "stays with you" any more, and the less said about all those purge/annabel/conjuring/paranormal activity movies the better! Ok stuff, but boredom of repetition has set in already.
Get Out was original but VERY talky, Hereditary was very good but depressing like Martyrs (would you watch them over and over or just once?).
Hooray for companies like Arrow giving this kind of treatment to HHE2

Don't you think it's because you watch all this movies when you were younger? and before we had much less offer? I probably watched nightmare in elm street 1 - 10x on my VHS..because I didn't anything else to watch I hate movies like PA and Conjuring just plain boring, but there is some nice new blood out there in the horror scene..

Btw never watched hills have eyes 2 -

I couldn’t even watch all of The Babadook. No way could I suffer that annoying kid for the whole movie.

It was painful to watch

That and Shit Follows (apart from the soundtrack) are still 2 of the worst horror films I’ve had the misfortune to sit through in the last few years, awful in every way despite the critical acclaim

[gag]

They made some good horrors in 60s and 80s but to me 70s was the main era for real horror,
Take TCM amongst one of the best horrors ever made,
Strange how ppl say it's violent and gory no it's not it's neither, it's very well made that's got atmosphere, tension, passion, that lacks in most of today's horrors .
Compare 70s horror to today's
Halloween
Omen
Exorcist
Amittyvile horror
Phantasm
Fri 13th ok early 80s
Alien
Jaws
Carrie
Hills have eyes
Salems lot
Invasion of the body snatchers
Dawn of the dead
Brood
Black Christmas
Don't look now
Wicker man
Suspiria
The list is endless tbh.

just don't make them like they use to, a lot of today's horror is bland, dull, boring in comparison or it's mainly shock value like torture porn.
