what is happening to Horror its going nowhere

Rating: 4/10 (18 August 2008)

What is happening with horror films. Have we seen an end to the great works of our masters of horrors? Where is the suspense? Where is the build up and lighting effects the stories? The horror industry is failing and its a sad reality that to sell a horror film to the public you have to first get the film banned and then build up its notoriety then everyone will have to see it. Torture scenes and more blood than German sausage this film is very poor. It has all the hallmarks of a c grade gore shock flick. and if your interested in watching people being tortured well I am personally not up for it. To me contemporary horror films look back on great flicks from the masters of horror-Wes Craven, Tobe Hooper, John Carpenter, Chuck Russell and John Landis. But these contemporary films have really nothing to offer. Torturing people and then killing them sounds like snuff to me not 'horror' it all went wrong here in this film.
I would leave this title on the shelf and rent 'hellraiser' if you want horror don't waste your time.
