Yes, just to keep my statements clear, I was not claiming that Lewis had any artistic motivations. I was saying that in my opinion his gore films were fresh and decidedly more original when they came out.
I am bored with current trends in horror because I don't see a lot of talent, and I see a reliance on going back to squirm-inducing gross-out scenes as a replacement for the suspense these modern filmmakers are incapable of creating/generating.
It's REAL EASY to make any audience squirm with a torturously violent situation. Anyone can do it, and that means it takes no talent. When I see a horror movie, I want to see the movie pull off a trick. I want a story, perhaps an outlandish story that I am made to believe via clever storytelling. I want suspension of disbelief. It's more than most of these current "horror meisters" are able to do.
