1992candyman - AVERAGE
1994Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - SNOOZE
1990Night of the Living Dead - GOOD
1993Needful Things - AVERAGE
1999Stir of Echoes - DULL
1990 It - tv...OKAY
1990Arachnophobia - GOOD
1991Cape Fear -SNOOZE, and not horror.
1996 scream - GOOD dates badly though.
"Silence" is barely a horror movie. It's a good fuilm, but basically it's Yuppie horror.
Seven - Again a horror/thriller hybrid (more thriller) but very good.
But for me the 90's were the start of souless, passionaless horror for doped up mall rats.
And it's never really recovered as far as cinema releases go. People grab at any old shit ("Blair Witch"), that isn't a "Scream" knock-off or wise cracking psycho crap, in desperation. Does not make them good though.
DVD has been the savi9ng grace for horror recently with lost gems surfacing, and some interesting indy stuff being given a life outside of the shitty multi-plex/Studio monopoly cinema scene.
All decades have good and bad, shit and genius. But for me it's late 60's - early 80's that is the, by far, best period for horror and exploitation.
