Im becoming a Carpenter fan of late...Im not a fan of Craven...they're both money grubbing peices of shit now though:mad:

Carpenter is nothing near what he used to be, but I think he still has at least one more great film in him.

Fulci is a hack. I know that's an unpopular view, but I stand by it. There's nothing elegant in his zombie films. They're badly written, poorly written gore fests. I like to wallow in trash as much as the next horror fan, but Fulci is just too sadistic for my taste.

Just because he chooses to make movies in a particularly trashy genre doesn't mean he's without talent. The bad writing and poor writing have nothing to do with him as a director. The amount of gore might, but not the quality of it. You've got to look at the direction, the shots, et cetera. There's a shot in particular in Zombi that shows that he can be a good director. The one zombie, alone, walking through the deserted village. It's practically a throwaway shot, except it's the best one in the movie.



But it doesn't matter, Kiyoshi Kurosawa owns him all over.

True, but the movie as a whole doesn't engage me in any way. I laugh at the zombie vs. shark bit, but otherwise have liitle interest in what's going on. There are too many better made zombie movies out there.

Carpenter, Romero, Cronenberg...all intellectual horror filmmakers in very different ways.

Wes Craven is one of the worst ever. He's done nothing for me.
