Do you think any "non-horror" director could make a good horror movie?

[Invincible]

Yes, this has just came to my mind. I think Steven Spielberg could really make a good Horror movie, what other directors do you think, can make a good horror movie?

[myers67]

Jaws was a Horror movie.

James Cameron

[NbdysPerfect]

Well let's hope Brett Ratner does a good job with Red Dragon. I'm excited to see how he does this since he has only done the Rush Hour movies and Family Man. He also directed the "Heartbreaker" video by Mariah! hehe

Damn, I forgot about Jaws http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif lol Oh well, But I mean like a Slasher movie Scream type, do you think Steven Spielberg could re-create Scream? put his own mind into it this time, not copy Wes Craven

[Invincible]

Oh yeah Myers, this is weird but look like I'm correctin you this time... http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif weird man

Aliens was a horror movie...James Cameron directed it

[Draven2277]

Ridley Scott did the classic "ALien"

and Brad Anderson, who helmed only 2 romantic comedies beforehand, directed the amazing "Session 9"

The Hughes Brothers did "From Hell", directing only movies about life in the ghetto beforehand (Menace II Society and Dead Presidents"

Kubrick did "The Shining"....and he wasn't a horror director.

Jonathan Demme directed "Silence of the Lambs" even though it's more of a thriller than horror, but he did mostly dramas (Philidelphia, Beloved, etc.)

just a few more for u guys!!

[myers67]

Yeah, I forgot about Cameron directing Aliens I'll try to think of someone else.

I'd like to see a horror movie from Terry Gilliam. Brazil did have some horror elements, as did 12 Monkeys, but he hasn't done a straight horror movie yet.

[CeMeTaRy_GaTeS]

I'd actually like to see Quentin Tarantino or John Woo do a horror flick

[Tapeworm]

Although, some of his movies have horror elements, I feel David Lynch would be godly if he made a strictly horror movie.

[Psychocandy]

Although Fincher did Alien 3 and Seven and Aronofsky's movies have horrific elements, i'd love to see them tackle a pure horror movie. Imagine how much style they would bring to it. Both of them are on the shortlist of directors i'd like to see tackle an adaptation of Richard Matheson's classic vampire novel "I Am Legend". That would be fucking sweet.

James Cameron did Piranha 2!

And Tarantino did From Dusk Till Dawn(well he wrote it)

[Romero&Juliet]

TIM ROTH.

[Alex Cross Fan]

Yeah, John Woo would make an awesome horror flick. Just throw in Chow Yun-Fat(Hard Boiled was awesome by the way), two Beretta's, and some evil monsters and you have an instant recipe for a badass movie.
