Carpenter will always be better than Argento.

Carpenter will always be better than Argento.

I don't really think it is fair to compare Carpenter with Argento. We're dealing with two different cultures here. I think the things that frighten Americans are different than the things that frighten non-Americans. That's why "The Ring" had to be altered so drastically from "Ringu;" it had to be manipulated to an American sensibility before we could grasp the concept of "water ghosts."

Carpenter understands the fear behind things moving in the background, out of focus, and lens flares.

Argento understands the fear of illogical nightmares and garish lighting.

If we're going to compare Argento to anyone, it should be Romero. Certainly "Creepshow" and his half of "Two Evil Eyes" show a clear Argento influence, their past dealings on 'Dawn of the Dead" notwithstanding.

Suspiria contains an unnerving score (Including the creepy xylophone and bell shit in the beginning), great cinematography (Just about every shot), as my fellow Knox-villain said, the qualities of a nightmare, and some moments of impressive suspense (Once again, the straight-razor chase, not to mention the climax with Suzy ending up in he rasping witch's room). Suspiria, to me, is Argento's masterwork, and a true horror classic. Though people say Suspiria is one you have to work your way into, it was the first Argento film I watched and definitely the one that impressed me the most.

8.5-9/10

BRB guys I'm gonna hand my 4 year old cousin a camera and let him record some shots. We're remaking Suspiria... hold on.

[BGTNJeff]

You would let your four year old cousin play in the razor wire room? That's cold. Who would do that?
Besides, the camera movements in Argento's work are elegant and graceful, as they are in Carpenter's work.
Now, if you and your four year old cousin are remaking the Blair Witch Project, which you could probably do in your backyard, then by all means, let him/her run the camera. I'll go stand in the corner.

[Bojangles]

Lmfaooo. Alright, we can remake The Blair Witch Project but we're gonna need some supplies. Can you pick up some rocks and limbs on your way over?

My daughter has a knit cap we can use, and my wife can string together twigs into a rough humanoid shape.

Oh dear god, a TH produced remake. That means there will be lots of sex, blood, fetishes and oddly enough... Nik standing in the corner banging a pot with a spoon for randomness.

[Bojangles]

This is going to be an instant classic --- on Netflix Watch Instantly.

[NicoleMayCanaday]

HELL YEAH!!

Following are my comments about the movies.

Eraserhead

My close friend who lent me the DVD of this film claimed it to be their 'favorite film of all time'. The Eraserhead, even though balck white has an awesome cinematography, plot symbolism and imaginative special and visual sets.This film achieved the 100% of Wow! Factor I am looking for in every horror movies I watched.

The Exorcist[/COLOR]

This Friedkin's Masterpiece has been the origin of inspiration for many other horror films around the world. Many film producers and directors have imitated the concept of this one of a kind horror flick. After watching the movie, all you can do is agree with the producers: The atmosphere of The Exorcist is really horrifying. Many scenes in The Exorcist are frightening and disgusting, but have a certain thing that makes you laugh nervously.

Halloween[/COLOR]

One of the greatest and scariest horror movie ever. Some casual moviegoer think that the acting is bad, or the script is boring, the whole concept is crappy. Well, I only have one thing to say to them. The script is complex in a subtle way, so if you don't catch the script it just goes way over your head.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre[/COLOR]

This flick is Hoopers best film and shouldn't be missed by any self respecting horror die hard fan. It shows us where all of todays new generation of slashers are getting their inspiration. Films like Saw, Wrong Turn, House of a Thousand Corpses, Cabin Fever, and even Final Destination are obvious homages to this one. But the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was the first to show us what a real slasher should be like.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Here comes my favorite looney villain of all time... dunn..dunn..dunn.. dunn..Freedy! Well his creator, Wes Craven is known as the Master of Horror. This movie is engaging and competently made, but it aren't all that frightening. The one thing that Craven has that no one else does is a penchant for taking risks. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" doesn't follow the slasher film formula in fact, this is just a horror film, and not a member of the slasher genre. But this a fare one.

Night of the Living Dead

Well all I can say is... the 1968 movie is a classic with better performances and shots than its remake.

Psycho[/COLOR]

Since I am a certified horrority I dont care that it is in black and white colour at all. The atmosphere of the movie is how real it looks and feels. Everything in this movie seems realistic to the viewer. The suspense factor is also spectacular in this film. Hitchcock's brilliant directing and Herrman's creepy score work together to build up atmosphere and suspense for the film. This is done extremely well. The actors were great and still nowadays it is a bit scary when the Marion Crane chooses the wrong place to spend her night on (and the wrong bathroom..lol). Psycho may very well be one of the most suspenseful movies of all time.

Craven is the shit....but WTF is up with the movies he has been releasing lately??? I want to hate him for continuing the Scream franchise...fuckin let it die. It's played Wes, it's played.
