Horror Film Debate Thread!

Psycho is one of the most enthralling and interesting films of the 60's, and today. I've seen it numerous times and still find it chilling. It's recognized as greatness for a reason, because for it's time it was extremely unique unpredictable. The music, of course, is gold.

thats a fact BF

Oh my god,how could I forget to talk about the music?!In my opinion,the scariest music in the horror genre.

Oh my god!How could I forget to mention the music?!That has to be the scariest music in the horror genre!BTW Lord Andres,haven't heard of that movie "Homicidal",what's it about?

Sorry about the double post,my computer's kinda f****d.

Hitch knew how to throw a scare thats for sure.

My only problem with Psycho was i got such a boner for Perkins dressed as his mother I forgot to be scared.

They should never have remade it.Without Perkins it just isn't the same.

ugh, the remake was terribal

No respect...
Poor Anthony Perkins must be rolling in his grave.

Okay then,how about a new topic?
Let's see......
How about Day of the Dead?Feel free to discuss a different one if you like.

Savini's best work, some of the most ingenius character development ever (Bub), almost gave "Scarface" a run for it's money with the "F" bombs, and it's a sorely underrated flick.

I agree with everything.In my opinion it is the best zombie movie.

I dont see why it is considered the worst of the Dead series.

It is? Well, social commentary aside, "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) isn't that great of a stand alone zombie movie, IMO.

Instant Classic.

Dawn of the Dead is a classicly great stand alone Zombie film, Day of the dead just gives it cult appeal.

day of the dead is the weakest film compared to night and dawn but it is still excellent

I'm sure lots of people will go against me for saying this ,but,I kinda thought that the original Dawn of the Dead sucked.I thought that the first half was good,but I lost interest near the end.

How so?

"Dawn of the Dead" had rather uninteresting special effects, campy, out of place music, horrible "zombie" applique, and there wasn't any sense of urgency throughout the movie. I'd imagine that would be the the major draw for average movie goers, and it wasn't there. It wasn't even impressive for 1978. I think people like the movie, for the most part, because it's everyone's dream to be holed up in a mall where you can have anything you want.

Take away the mall, make it a house, it's the same movie as "Night".

"Day of the Dead" is a gorehound's paradise. It was also smarter in a few instances.

I agree completely.Well put.
