Newer horror films or older?

[NAPOLEON_WILSON]

In my opinion there have not been many great horror films in the last 5-10 years. Anyone agree...disagree?:confused:

I apologize that this post ended up in the Indie Horror section. It was not my intention...I was doing far too many things at once. Still, if you wish to vote above or respond to the post feel free. Thanks.

I agree that more crap is put out and a great horror film comes few and far between. But those great ones are absolute gems (Dagon and Frailty baby). I prefer the 80's myself.

i voted but I voted against what you were asking... I put it in my top 10 movies that I absolutely love... I myself love 70`s italian horror.. :D

[avenger00soul]

I didn't even see the poll. I thought he was asking if we prefer older films over new ones. Anyway, Dog Soldiers definitely runs with my pack of werewolf favorites. I also love The Howling I and V, Silver Bullet, American Werewolf in London, Wolf, The Wolfman, and Full Eclipse.

Definitely older. A few come along these days but not many. I like the '80s the most.

Have yet to watch it. Everytime it comes on Sci-fi I forget about it. Any good?

Then I will write it down and force myself to watch it next time it comes on sci-fi.

I wouldn't really classify Wolfen as a werewolf film at all. It definitely isn't for all tastes either, but does have some nifty camera work and a little 80's gore. It's more of a supernatural film involving wolves so don't expect werewolves or you might be disappointed. For werewolf movies I'd personally say there really aren't many great ones. Full Eclipse is entertaining but I wouldn't even come close to calling it great. I'd have to put my top 5 like this in no particular order:

An American Werewolf In London
The Howling
Dog Soldiers
The Company of Wolves
The Wolfman/Curse of the Werewolf (For classic reasons)

Others worth mentioning that haven't been mentioned yet:

Bad Moon (Yes, it has some bad CGI and acting and stars Mariel Hemingway but as a film it's avove average)

Waxwork (Not primarily a werewolf film, but has an entertaining, humorous, great werewolf scene near the start of the film)

Yes, it did have a great werewolf. Also, the one in the Monster Squad is the best one EVER.

Company of Wolves had a cool transformation scene. I loved the cover of this movie when I was younger.

Hey guys. I'm new to this board but just wanted to say that "Silver Bullet" is my Favorite movie of all time! I actually live in Wilmington, NC and Burgaw NC where it was filmed. I have found numerous places and visited them but would like any information anyone could give me about places they know of. I know a lot of people worked as extras and such on that movie back in the 80's so PLEASE get in contact with me. I've actually worked with Everett McGill(Rev. Lowe) on a movie around 3 years ago but he told me he doesn't remember very much about doing that movie. So, if anyone out there has any ideas as to how or who I can contact to get specific locations or addresses please email me a.s.a.p. Thanks.

Avenger, you rock, dude!!!! I envy anyone brave enough to admit they like Dream a Little Dream. That movie so rocks!!! Remember when Fieldman seduces Meredith Salenger by breakdancing. Breakdancing!!! And it actually works! What the hell!?!?! That scene goes on forever, man. And Corey Haim in that goofy cast!!!! Ah, dude that movie sucks so much it's great! Too bad the sequel was just plain bland. Back in the day, I bet Corey Haim could've nailed any 13-year-old chick on the planet. no training bra was safe from his nimble fingers!!!!

Sorry I got off track there.....I agree with everyone's werewolf picks, but don't forget The Wolf Man with Lon Chaney, Jr as poor ol' Larry Talbot. Not only did it create the lycanthropic archetype, but in my humble opinion it's the best man in a rubber suit movie ever made (even if Lon is actually only in yak hair). Curse of the Werewolf is also really cool, and Oliver Reed's werewolf just looks cool.......but, dude, Dream a Little Dream. Wowzer!!!!
