Why can't modern films be this good!

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2001)

It is no lie when they claim this is the scariest film of all time!
It does not rely on pathetic lines or surprises to build tension. There is no 'teen' aspect that just about every scary/horror film has today! The topic is something we don't really know much about and probably don't believe in but we still wonder. The victims are truly ones we feel for (anyone who does not want to cry for Regan obviously cares for no one!). And finally it truly is shocking. So many time have certain things been built up in films of this style only to be revealed or shown completely simply for us to realize that they aren't that schocking at all!
The closest film to this one in modern times would have to be "Silence of the Lambs". They both have an intelligence and an emotion that no other film has. And at the same time you still wonder "is this real". The films suspend disbelief.
Unfortunately the film is old now, according to our standards today it has poor sound and picture quality, old SPFX, and so on. Which means it no longer scares us so much as it seems fake. But ignoring that you cannot deny it is leagues ahead of anything hollywood or anyone else has produced since!
Don't believe me? Can you name a film made in the last ten years that truly scared you! I mean truly scared you! I am not talking "that's disgusting" or "I jumped out of my seat when that happened". I am talking "I am not going to sleep well tonight"! By the way if you say "The Blair Witch Project" I would ask you to stop smoking whatever it is you are on!
