Why are the most european horror classic movies definitely better than any moder!


Question: I collected around 60 european Horror classic on DVDs from the 1960′s and 1970′s especially from Mario Bavas, Fulcis, Argentos cult italian horror classics from the past two decades. Even though I also enjoy to collect the hammer british horror classic, both italian & british classic horror directors had tried so bloody hard to produce a damned extreme good horror actings from those days.

Then I′ve tried to compare with the new mainstream American Horrorproductions which are featuring and stressing more the actings of unknown big booby playmates in their colleague teenie modern Horrorstories like "Tales from the Crypt, Scary Movies etc". Oh God, their actings & dialogues are seriously awful and the line story (Script) is totally empty /unisnpired! they are unlike the charismatic dialogues of Vincent Price, Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing nor Boris Karloff who had driven their horses with their scary huge black cape.

I enjoy the gothic horror so much, it was so original and so wonderf

It may be because Europe has a much older history. Dracula was Transylvanian, and witchcraft etc has existed for far longer. American horror films are probably not so good due to less history and more commercialisation.

The best horror film ever made was Poltergeist, if you ask me. The first one, that is, and it was American all the way.

A great deal of movies from other countries are done BEFORE the Hollywood does a re-make (in English) of them. For example: The Ring. The Asian version is better than the Hollywood remake. I'm not a fan of horror, but I often watch the world movies channel and you'd be suprised how many movies Hollywood chose to remake from other countries. Every single time the original (i.e foreign) one is better than the Hollywood clone. Well, that's just my opinion :)

Okay, so you took classic movies and compared them with low end movies? Why not compare them with American cassic horror movies of the same time period? Why not use "Rosemary's Baby" "The Thing" "The Invisible Man"
"Psycho" "Frankenstein" "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" or "the Exorcist"? Why choose obviously poor movies from a different time period and then say that the movies are bad? Of course they are.

I don't understand why you chose these two groups to contrast as they are a very uneven match up.
