and the second the general movie-going public is worried about the quality of the movie, that will be a problem

well in response to you sam_the_egg you watch what you enjoying watching everyone has different tastes.

In my opinion Asia make the more original, scarier and entertaining films than anywhere else

why not comparing old school hollywood horror with japanese movies?

and directors such as lucio fulci and dario argento?

My main problem with the Japanese horror movies is that so many of them seem to try to be Ringu. It's like how a lot of movies tried to be Scream after it came out, except Ringu is much better than Scream.

Like I said, there are no more new idead. Period. It doesn't matter what country it is, there are no more new ideas. Nobody's fault, it was bound to happen eventually.

That's ridiculous, it's like saying that there are no new words. It's possible to say that all stories boil down to a few simple themes, but the amount of unique variations on those themes is endless.

yes, but it's still a variation of the same idea. That's like saying all the Halloween-type movies were new ideas. Hey, how about a big guy in a mask goes around killing horny teenagers...on ARBOR DAY! OMG TOTALLY NEW IDEA!!!

and I'm not saying that like it's bad. It's unfortunate, yes, but it was, as I said, going to happen. Nor am I saying it means there will be no more good movies, cause that would just be stupid.

Also, we say Asia, but don't we really mean Japan? If it's Asia, then bring up more than just ones from Japan. If not, then the title of the thread is misleading.
