uk horror
 

not sure if this questions fits in this topic, but i was just wondering, the question is aimed at people outside the UK.

i just wondered what most think about the british horror movies, how many of u feel the british make decent horror movies?

personally being british i think UK based horror is shite, there are a few exceptions such as Dog Soldiers, Shaun of the Dead et al.

i just wondered what others felt about it

again i apologise if i have put this in the wrong section, but i will learn (only my second day on this wonderful site).

normally british horror is shit..

I like the early Hammer movies. Chritopher Lee and Peter Cushing were a great combination

yep, u can't beat hammer, but since the early days i think uk horror has taken a nose dive

since the hammer era (along with amicus & tigon), there has been a sparcity in decent horror...pete walker is a name that springs to mind.

british horror recently has lurched from i bought a vampire motorcycle, revenge of billy the kid to such drivel as proteus and beyond bedlam.

i bought a vampire motorcycle was funny, neil morrissey, damn, id forgotton bout that film, wonder if it available on dvd, probably not, amicus was a great company i have the coffin box set, top films.

it was nice seeing the cast of boon still working....was some humour but no horror :mad:

and the amicus set was sweet...

Drivel as Proteus what?????? lol come on Oil rig horror not your think lol your right it did suck

Proteus

Think your all bein a bit harsh. Think about the amount of money the UK horror industry (in fact the UK film industry as a whole) has to spend compared to the American film industry. Then think about the high proportion of bullshit churned out by the US compared to the few crappy films made by us.

Then concider the fact that hollywood steal all our good actors actresses etc etc when they realise they actually produce quality. S'no wonder we have it tuff here.

Nice to see every so often we do produce brilliant films that make it to the states and they love.

P

nothing like the early hammer years with chris lee and peter cushing. amicus was good too..........since then.........crap
