Two nights ago, my family went and seen some certain horror film to be in the spirit of this great holiday, you people may of heard of it. It is titled "The Ring." My mother thought it would be nice to ditch the previous plans of seeing Red Dragon tonight, and instead, wanted to see The Ring. I, of course, refused to go see this movie. Even if I wasn't paying, I knew it would be waste.
Sadly, they all came back disappointed. The first thing my dad said when he walked it was, "That movie sucked.." and my mom stated, "It was garbage." This adds to my theory I have been developing of horror films today suck more than a 2 bit asian whore surrounded by many horny american soldiers in Vietnam. I'm not talking an average whore, I'm talking about a whore that could suck a bowling ball through a air duct. Not the small ones that you can crawl thru. The large ones you can almost walk thru if you didn't bow your head down some. My brother is in the duct business, I know what's up.
Onto the point!
Let's compare such movies as American Werewolf in London and American Werewolf in Paris. Now, which one is actually SCARY? Paris wasn't the least bit scary. They should of stuck with the animatronic wolves. They looked much more real. Need an explaination? How about at the end of American Werewolf in Paris, when the werewolf eats the heart. This was the lamest scene that was intended to be pretty gruesome. Instead, it looks like a damned cartoon. In American Werewolf in London, the wolf looked real. At the end of the movie when the werewolf is running about in the city... That son of a bitch looked real. This only proves that horror movies today are just terrible.
Another example is there hasn't been any movie monsters lately. I don't want to see a movie and the monster is something that you can't see, like it's some sort of disease or some shit. I want to see Jason and Freddy kicking some ass, I want to see original movie monsters. Not rehashed monsters from back in the day. You know, when Dracula was actually new. When the Mummy was horror, and not a comedy. When... Yeah, you get my point. I need a new horror icon to look up too. A new half-dead zombie life guard serial killing machete swinging murder machine.
When was the last time someone left to see a horror movie for the monster itself and not because all the nifty explosions, graphics, and actor/actress? Just because the monster looked unique and you just knew it is going to be kicking some ass. I don't care about nudity, I would put on a porno if I wanted to see some titties. Breast do not make a great movie.
Whatever happened to The Creature from the Black Lagoon? I would think a new up-to-date, scary version of this could be great. Not a comedy. A horror-drama. The monster loved the girl but couldn't have her for she couldn't love a monster such as it. You know how that movie goes. Another idea, a remake of the original would be nice if the director did a good job and stayed true to the original. No nudity, not a lot of swearing, just the monster and the unattainable love of it's life.
One last thing before I click the submit button, scary movies today just can't be about the monster itself. An example is Signs. The trailers made this movie to be a pretty good thrill of a sci-fi movie. How could you not find aliens attacking a family in the middle of no where and all they have is their wits with them...And a glass of funny tasting water. Instead, it was about a man who lost faith, blah blah blah, you all know about it already. I just think that if this movie was more aliens, less drama, it would of been a lot better. I been craving for a good new scary movie for sometime, and thus far, I have been only let down by Hollywood's failed attempts. Maybe I should start looking into foreign horror flicks. Dead Alive, a.k.a. Braindead, is still one of my favorite horror flicks to date.
I have lost faith in American movies and Jackass hitting the number one movie in American proves that this country has an IQ so low, you have to dig for it.
