People don’t get it nowadays! CGI and superb audio effects does not make a movie nor it captivates the audience. Also the massive display of gore does not scare, or holds intrigue for suspense as most movies are done now. Back in the days it was so perfectly done. I am glad I came across these. I grew up watching suspense with Peter Cushing, Vincent Price among others…. Good Job Retrovision.
There are people who have not been brainwashed to accept reality show garbage as entertainment. A discerning person can still find plenty of worthwhile things to be entertained even in 2009. A good mail order DVD rental plan will let you explore the last hundred years of film too.
Your choice in fine film? Better than ever with movie house quality in your living room. Your choice in flotsam? There’s more of that than ever too.
