OPINION ARTICLE IN QUARTZ: On the 40th anniversary of Jaws, pity the American horror film
Good read by Catriona Miller…
I don’t consider JAWS the classic others do, but I see the point of the article. Horror has fallen steadily since then in the eyes of some… however there are amazing films the mainstream media often chooses to ignore. This year they could not ignore IT FOLLOWS
There are worthwhile films out there.. but you have to look to find them.
I still believe that professional wrestling and horror movies best show the pop culture of the time they are from.. Regardless of what reviewers or ‘experts’ in the entertainment field say..
Miller may be right when about the fall of the American horror film.
But we still have the Japanese and Iranians.. Creativity still abounds.
