Though you can call me a title freak but I really admire those days when films used to come out with such a creepy, funny and interesting one liner title. I just simply love them. It seems that it mainly started after 80's to avoid this trend and more go for a simple but effective one word name for a movie. But I like to know here what's the reason behind that? Yeah...there are more important things in making & releasing a film than giving a proper or attractive tittle but still why the production houses/studios & the people behind the craft now a days don't give such tittles anymore? Is it that it sounds too back dated or become a tag of old school films? or the audience become too clever to think/treat it as a 'B Movie garbage'?

Anyway, lately I'm bit disappointed with Mr. Wes Craven who gave us some great films that comes with fantastic titles like The Last House on the Left, The Hills have eyes, People Under the Stairs, ANOES. But the title of his upcoming slasher My Soul to Take...sounds pretty lame to me, like a heading of a romantic poem written by a sweet teenage girl in school.
