dont stone me to death but this movie made me realise...

...that the genre is dead. i watch literally hundreds of new horror movies a year. and this one is 'top notch'.

have viwers really changed that much? all we've been given here are 'clever' twists and turns in the story. did she kill herself? did she kill her husband and sister? was her patient in the cottage real or just guilt etc etc etc. we can figure out endless variations of how the story went, look for little clues to support one or the other and blah-blah-blah. but that is it.

just entertainment. no art, no deeper meaning. i mean where the hell do these directors come from? havent they seen any of the good stuff?

just to illustrate the point last weekend i watched again three good oldies i dug out of my storage-drives. first sluizer's spoorloos - didnt remember that one so good and it fell on me again like a ton of bricks. wondered and thought about my darker side for a few days thanks to it. what a movie. second one - deodato's cannibal holocaust witch is a freakin masterpiece cause it somehow manages to illustrate thru extreme gore the nature of last century and two of its primary topics - entertainment and barbarism (holocaust ect). how did deodato pull this off? f@ck knows, ye? and the third one was argentos profondo rosso witch for me is a personal journey but for even a retarded moviegoer should just ooze style from every second.

and i have hundreds of excellent horror films like that. now please tell me, dear director, how can you make such filth after you've seen even a few dozen of em? talk about guilt in this movie lol.

i am not complaining tho cause the overall quality of movies in any genre has skyrocketed to *beep* in the last few years; im just a little dissapointed. cause for me true-horror genre has always stood separate from other movies as a medium. sad to see it go down the drain.

anyone else feel the same? anyone have any good new titles to suggest?
