This is a very interesting conversation.

'Better' is a completely relative term. If you mean better filmmaking, I'm not really sure what the answer is - early films like Vampyr and Nosferatu were made on new technology, which was kinda crappy equipment back then - but those films IMO are stunning and amazing. Films from the 40s and 50s might be campy, especially Ed Wood, but look at how clear those films look in terms of cinematography, then look at low-budget stuff from the 70s-90s, everything looks like crap (except the saturated colors of the Hammer Films, and Dario Argento I love those). Nowadays it seems any idiot willing to max out his credit cards can buy a digital camera and convince a few friends to make a crappy horror movie.
