I wouldn't go quite that far, but thank you. NR may very well be an expert, but I think I am an enthusiast at best. Anyway, when you say "classic" this is the first thing that comes to mind.... For me anyway. I'm not sure how others feel about it, but I'm a fan of the more artsy horror flicks. When it comes to that, Argento is the fucking man. (Just ask Ghostface) ![]() Granted, this is from the '70s, so if you're looking for something more modern, check out the following: ("High Tension") ![]() ("Let the Right One In") ![]() ("Deadgirl": not to be confused with "The Dead Girl") ![]() |

Gotta go to work, but I'll think of some others.
Suspiria ranks among my top ten films of all time, and despite the production flaws (negligible), it scares the shit out of me. Cheers! |

I think Opera is Argento's best by a longshot. I've seen so many of his films, and frankly, I thnk he's overrated save a handful. Suspiria is one of the good ones though yes. Opera is on a whole nother level though.
when you say Classic what are you after though louder? I'd say I'm an expert on slashers in particular (I've seen well over 100 of them) and am very very well versed in 80's, 70's stuff... and a lot of 90's... I'm a lot more picky about stuff from recent years. Let The Right One In that sev mentioned was great. Though borderline horror. It felt like drama horror? Excellent though. Never heard of The Dead Girl. I didn't think High Tension was that great.

you don't know what it's about?
November 9, 1993 was the day that Midnight Marauders and Enter The Wu-Tang were released. What a day!

I wasn't sure what he meant by classic either, so I picked the first few that came to mind. Opera is excellent, but Suspiria had me sleeping with a nightlight... At 30. High Tension is my girlfriend's favorite. Deadgirl is a must see, though less horror than it's made out to be. Pretty disturbing, but only horror by default. Why can't I think of any other good recent horror flicks? Slasher is a genre in its own. Not everyone who's into horror is into slasher. Though I must say, Wolf Creek was excellent, recent, and was influenced by slasher films. The 80s were so much better. Horror was a different fucking world back then. |

You're right about slashers being their own genre.
Wolf Creek was alright. A little more xenophobic horror than slasher though (like Touristas or the Hostiles)... 80s certainly did rule. Yes haha. Recent excellent slasher: Scream 4

btw, how do you guys feel about Hov's upcoming album? he has a fucking song with Nas, and he's also using Smells Like Teen Spirit lyrics on a song with Justin Timberlake (from what i've figured, JT will supposedly sing the chorus - "and we all just/ entertainers/ and we're stupid/ and contagious". weird).

Only the early 80s when they were actually FILMS and then got too popularized and became flicks. While the hallmark 80s slasher and horror flicks are entertaining, the film caliber stuff is superb and stand alone quality. I'd say the best eras in horror film was late 70s to the early 80s, and then the early to mid-1990s. The 2000s as essentially been to horror what the height of 80s cheese was.. In regards to horror flicks: You must catch up with the John Carpenter back catalog. In particular the original Halloween, The Thing, Prince of Darkness, and Into the Mouth of Madness. Clive Barker's Lord of Illusions, Nightbreed, and the original Hellraiser are crucial. Guillermo del Toro The Orphanage and Pan's Labrynth are fantastic. I liked M Night Shyamalan Signs and the Village, but they were hit or miss. Wes Craven the first Nightmare on Elm Street and also the last one, A New Nightmare, also The People Under the Stairs The Howling Stephen King's The Pet Cemetary Chris Walken in The Prophecy

Hellraiser is one of my favs ever. But Nightbreed is one I hate.
The original Halloween of course, is an absolute MUST slasher.

i mentioned it in the "what are you listening to?" thread, but in case someone hasn't noticed - i just got my first record player this week, then ordered Illmatic and 36 Chambers on vinyl. shit, once they arrive, i'm gonna play them all day over and over again like it's the first time.
meanwhile, i'm also planning to cop Midnight Marauders, Cuban Linx, Liquid Swordz, The Infamous, The Chronic, etc. you know, although i think that rap is the most interesting genre by far these days, it still doesn't compare to the 90's. Nas, Wu, Tribe, Kast, Mobb Deep and Jay all in their prime, Biggie was still alive, not to mention the dark and minimalistic production which defined so many albums back then, and no matter what, couldn't be done again. |
