MOST scary movies have their scariest scenes during night, and on older, lower quality film you can't see what's in the shadows as good as you can now. It just doesn't seem to have the same effect anymore. I like the lower quality film for horror movies alot better.

Yeh I see what you mean. I really like a lot of films from the 70s because the tones look totally sleazy and dirty. I recently saw the Tobe Hooper film Eaten Alive and a couple of the scenes with Robert Englund were really fucked up particularly because of the tone and colour (especially the scene with him being particularly forcefull with a prostitiute). I really like the look of "low quality" film it just gives the film a more gritty look. But like people have already said a film needs to do more than look good.
