even if you dont like the particular films (hostel, cabin fever, 1000 corpses, haute tension, etc, you have to acknowledge their efforts to jump-start horror.
Putting out an R rated horror is a brave bold move these days. It almost guarantees failure at the box office.
iunfortunately my personal feeling is - that they are just small blips on the radar and unless they somehow take hold and encourage big name respectable actors and directors to make class horror films like they did in the 70's ... then things will continue to go downhill despite their efforts.
Yes, add Saw and Wolf Creek to that list too.
Box office suicide used to be the case with 'NC-17' movies, is that now the case with 'R'? How young are these kids watching horror movies in America these days, 13?
