A hell of a lot of the pre 80's shit with big (real) stars/directors is totally dull to watch and the majority of them were lame Exorcist (or whatever supernatural trend was cool at the time) rip offs.

oh i know there are a couple of good slashers - but you have to admit they are overwhealmed by the sheer multitudes of bad ones (remember i grew up on this stuff - i've seen and own tons of them -
i've always loved the 70's horror films .. cant think of any i dont like even if they arent all that fast paced .. i still really dig the grittiness of them ..
the vidoi rental market is the biggest culprit ... why spend a lot of money on good writers/actors/directors if kids will rent whatever shit you throw at them with an interesting cover.
the budget is covered once all the rental places have bought their copies !
