Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_T...

Iam not against the current horror movies, even some modern teeniehorror films like "Scary Movies or a modern brutality Hostel" are very popular, but their scripts are extremely muddled and the dialogues are sometimes very aweful...

Answer 1

A lot of people remember this film, including me. Most seem to have horrific memories from childhood, but they want to know the name of the film and track it down again.

Yes, I remember it although I haven't seen it for at least 30 years. Let's say i don't have a really clear memory. When people have described the creatures, they never use words that I would, so perhaps my mental image is inaccurate.

I love older horror/sci fi films, often more than some of the present-day ones, at least those that rely on gore, dismemberment and other atrocities. Such scenes are grossouts or just plain nasty, not true horror. It's true that such films as "Hostel" seem to lack any storytelling skill. I haven't seen some of them, but reading the analyses and reviews shows me that I don't want to allow them to enter my memories.

I'm with you: Let's celebrate the old stuff! I'm not saying they didn't have an occasional "icky" moment, but certainly nothing like the "torture porn" nowadays~a phrase being used with more frequency. Human beings do enough dreadful things to other human beings without seeing it on the screen. I've made up my mind that I will not provide links to information about some films; from now on, I might~maybe~give a title, but that will be all.
