    Tom Savini WAS and IS the man.

    Sadly in todays era of effects. Guys like him are getting lost in the tumblweeds for far 'better' effects which tend to turn out visually more shitty than oldschool effects.

    CGI blood for instance.

    Oh shit, thanks for bringing that up Red, I always notice when it's used but forget to ever mention it:
    for some reason, they will just NEVER supply a decent example of CGI blood or fire.

    If it hadn't come out in 2002, someone would've made a movie adaptation when Resident Evil 4 came out for some added hype. But I agree, slipknot, it did bring back the respect and excitement over zombies.

    I think the ultimate turning point in horror movies was "Halloween," the original 1978 version. It basically launched a whole new genre of horror (slashers) and spawned countless rip-offs (Friday the 13th) and sequels, remakes and other miscellanea.

    Well, technically Psycho was what brought major attention to the whole slasher subgenre; and though I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the ultimate turning point in horror movies, yeah, I'd say Halloween was a big step, but it was going in another direction. Keep in mind, it came out a few years after Night of the Living Dead, where people were starting to get their first hearty helpings of mainstream gore, which was more than a turning point, it was a revolution in a way. So Halloween wasn't so much a turning point as a progressive ramp in another direction, because as we know, Halloween is largely renowned (by critics at least) for its ability to be scary without being bloody, so I'd say the developement of slasher movies was more of a culmination of the strategy and originality of Halloween, and the audacity of NOTLD.

    My dad claims he saw Halloween in theaters fourteen times, he said it's a movie that stuck in his head for years, possibly decades-- after his first time seeing it with his buddy Chuck they walked out to his car and my Dad looks around and Chuck says "What, what is it?" My dad simply replies "That psychopath is out here somewhere, I know he is...you drive." Chuck goes "Oh no, I saw what happened in the movie, you drive!" And they stayed outside arguing over who drives. Also, I my Dad is a very "Michael Myers," horror-themed person, he has this theory that Michael could whoop both Jason and Freddy single-handedly, I don't know, my Dad's old school...

    I know The Blair Witch did something. Cam-corder horror anyone?

    Most people tend to agree that The Ring did it best in terms of remaking an Asian horror film. The Grudge came after, it was pretty good as well. It all went downhill after that. I have yet to see another good remake so I can't agree that all were better than The Ring. Seriously. One Missed Call, Shutter, and Pulse better than The Ring? No :shakehead

    Cannibal Holocaust was actually the first to do that about 20 years earlier. Many people say that it was one of the inspirations of BWP or that BWP just flat out stole the whole camcorder in the jungle/woods, only to be discovered later on thing.
