@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119well, I find it quite anti puritanical, which is why I don't like it much. And low budget also. For similar reasons, i dislike The Last House on the Left. I don't find excessives of filmmakers cutting their teeth as something wholesome.
There definitely was. This was the age of gameshows, which served the same purpose. Every period has it share of forgettable garbage-easy to forget how omnipresent it was.
It makes me wanna see what a Scorsese directed horror film would look like. There are elements of horror in his underrated remake of Cape Fear, and in Shutter Island, maybe, but that's it. Isn't it?
He's always cited the Hitchcockian proto-slasher Peeping Tom (1960) as one of his favourite movies. I'd be interested to see him take on a remake of that, like he did with Cape Fear.
I imagine it would be something psychological. Scorsese always had a thing for suspense at least, horror not so much. And leta not forget Bringing out the Dead with Nic Cage.
@@SquabbleBoxHQ well, I mean, a lot of horror movies are trash or are just ain't made with big pretensions in mind. They also proved to be a fertile ground for ripping off. Much like action movies are. I cannot say which horror movies are the most successful because it depends on several unrelated factors. It could be a story or an idea or the special and visual effects.
@@m1lst3r89 I can apply your previous "it can be applied to all genres" as far as it being mostly trash is concerned. The good of anything is a miracle.
@@SquabbleBoxHQ well, that's the key word - miracle. Sad thing is, most Hollywood studios are not interested in miracle horror movies. I made few minutes ago a similar comment in the comment section. We don't have many good horror movies today. And Jordan Peel ones are just not good.
The reason horror is such an important genre, is because it lends itself so well to the film medium, where it’s all about visual and audio cues. Drama and biopics can arguably always be better told in a novel.
I doubt it. The interview date says 1982, and I'm pretty sure De Niro helped Marty quit his skiing habit back in '79 or '80, when they were making Raging Bull. Marty's always been a fast talker, he doesn't need the powder to look like he's on the powder, if you know what I mean.
People who back in time graded horror movies b or c tier films or totally trash were people who didn’t give a f. about the 7th art itself. They saw movies just another product to sell and in order to do that you should be acceptable by the mainstream audience. Were plenty of them in america and europe. Thanks god we get rid of them.
@@m1lst3r89 I wouldn’t call them B. Hollywood and big European film directors have labeled them as B tier movies compared to their A tier movies. That’s unfair, cause Halloween 1978, for example, and other low budget horror movies made across the past decades have been immensely better than many well-funded movies. That’s my point.
Well, a lot of them are not. But only because they were consciously made with low expectations. I wonder when we will get again a respectable horror movie, like The Exorcist. And no, please don't bring me up Jordan Peele craps.
"His [Cronenberg's] earlier films are even better". Amen to that. Shivers is an absolute masterpiece.
Videodrome is my personal favourite. Incredible movie …
@@SAMTYLER1974Amen. The Brood is very good as well
Shivers is horrible! In every way.
@@m1lst3r89 How so? because it's low budget? Or because its puritanical and anti-Freud?

Don't worry, that guy in the Scanners clip ended up just fine!!!😃
God this old tv was as good as old movies. No colorful dopamine comfort fluff just real interviews
There definitely was. This was the age of gameshows, which served the same purpose. Every period has it share of forgettable garbage-easy to forget how omnipresent it was.
you see in Taxi Driver a scene where
Travis is driving his cab and he goes
by a movie theater and was showing
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
It blows my mind that you didn’t show the end of that clip of Scanners!
Scanners is so much fun. Probably my favorite Cronenberg film
Cronenberg is one of the great Canadians
Prefer John Candy, Mike Myers, and Jim Carry... just to lighten the mood.

I always wonder if he can do a
remake of the dark humored film
"The Night Of The Hunter." but still a Charles Laughton
classic.
@@TraitofSiNN727 That would be my second choice, although it would probably end up being quite similar to his Cape Fear remake
He’d prolly give himself a heart attack at his age tbh
The components of horror films show up across all genres. Suspense and violence cross over into everything.
You can say that for any genre.
@@m1lst3r89 Yes, basically, I'm just trying to sum up why hating on horror is ignorant.

Marty was on a good one here. He’s always been a fast talker but he just got back from a ski trip in this clip
Overdosed from too much skiing ❄️ a month later
I love classic horror films....good ones, bad ones...doesn't matter to me.

@@Bonkatsu12 we would be robbed off a lot of great movies if dramas and biopics were put aside. A lot of great performances too.
@@m1lst3r89 I didn't say put them all aside. I just said the film medium suits the horror genre better than the drama's or biopics.
Marty talks about horror films
and yet minus the ponytail he kinda looks
like Robert De Niro in horror/mystery "Angel Heart."😆😄
Scorsese seems like he's been hitting the Bolivian marching powder in this one. It was the time of such things.....FWIW.

I think he kicked the habit by then.

Horror movies aren't real cinema.
