The Exorcist... in this list.

All those terrible "How to join the FBI" serial killer films ruined that aspect of horror films. I'm waiting for the genre to shake that shit off. T&A/Blood and Guts and gratuitousness are essential to a good horror film. The asthetics of how that is handled determines on the reception of the film. Either way its gonna be underground but a intense well done film is gonna be the dark horse in a lot of motherfukers collections that will get watched and never forgotten about.....

None of that in 'The Haunting' and I'd say that's definitely one of the horror greats. Too many "directors" talk about how they're influenced by the masters (ie Romero, Carpenter, etc), but there isn't the slightest inkling they know why these guys are considered masters. No amount of blood and boobs can cover up the fact that their movies aren't scary. I hope I've got a clue at least how to do it with this new one of mine. No nudity and blood amount is minimal (except for one scene yet to be shot), but I think it will work.
Of course next one is more of a gorefest for the model starring in this one LOL I promised her we would since it was her request :D

I'd consider Carpenter a master for the characters he writes. Modern day Lee Marvins.
But yeh a lot of films don't need to rely on splatter to scare (trip the audience out). I just dig it and write it into my scripts to give the feeling of being a witness to the crime in all its depravity. Kinda a fuck he just did that and ain't been stopped he's coming for me deal. But I don't really write stuff like The Haunted and my new script is more in the vein of 70s shit like "Deranged" and "Crazed" (not sure when that came out but mehh) TCM2, Bad Boy Bubby and Romper Stomper smashed together.

But yeh there's a few good reasons why they ain't been filmed :D
NZ ain't to receptive to films like that
