It's spooky time once again, Slackers!
Although I say it often, I really think that there is a certain sensibility that is convyed by Gen X filmmakers. There is something that I can't exactly put my finger on, but everything from shot selection, dialogue, pacing, and most significantly, the film score, all have an intangible that can only come from growing up in our era.
Perhaps it is due the rise of the slasher genre in our childhoods, but modern horror is definitely influenced by the films of the 70's and 80's, from directors like John Carpenter, Tobe Hoope, Wes Craven, and Sam Raimi (and even films from Spielberg & Lucas).
Now our peers, fed a steady diet of Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers have become some of the best filmmakers in the horror genre. Who are the best of the best? Check out the episode for my picks!
