Why are
the most european horror classic movies definitely better than any modern american horror flicks?
I collected around 60 european horror classic on dvds from the 1960´s and 1970´s especially from mario bavas, fulcis, argentos cult italian horror classics from the past two decades. even though i also enjoy to collect the hammer british horror classic, both italian & british classic horror directors had tried so bloody hard to produce a damned extreme good horror actings from those days.then i´ve tried to compare with the new mainstream american horrorproductions which are featuring and stressing more the actings of unknown big booby playmates in their colleague teenie modern horrorstories like "tales from the crypt, scary movies etc". oh god, their actings & dialogues are seriously awful and the line story (script) is totally empty /unisnpired! they are unlike the charismatic dialogues of vincent price, christopher lee & peter cushing nor boris karloff who had driven their horses with their scary huge black cape.i enjoy the gothic horror so much, it was so original and so wonder
Answer
American films lack originality most are copied from foreign films and hence they often lack the factor that makes foreign film superior, but the main reason is that american films focus on the aesthetics, sound effects and forget about the storyline and well most movies are so hand fed they do not allow the audience to think on its own
