I would, sadly. Movies are no longer scary. They’ve grown cliche and weak.
Even if they’ve become cliche, at least the fucking special effects are decent. I don’t know how anyone could find more scary the horrible acting of an 8 year old girl rolling on the bed like a spastic to, say... this;

Sorry, not scary. I found Evil Dead and the original Night of the Living Dead to be for worse.
The same night of the living dead where a black guy impales a zombie in the head and it literally deflates like a baloon? Oooh, terrifying!
Now, I’ll admit; It’s a scene in cube zero, which is indeed, a shit movie (the original was much better). I wasn’t saying it was meant to necessarily be scary, simple pointing out that the new detail to gore in movies can make them more disturbing that some of the shit you see in older movies. I rarely find horror movies scary in themselves, but I do often feel disturbed by some elements that linger on in the back of my head and make me think. The original Cube was one of those movies that did that for me, partly because the faggot director who made it made the ending extremely vague. It took me a while of tossing and turning to find out it was a metaphor for existance (completely shattered by it’s sequels, , of which Hypercube was simply lame and Cube Zero completely destroyed the claustraphobia and sense of mystery).
Anyway, by “old” movies, could you elaborate on which decade(s) you speak of?
Yup, constantly on a mission to find good scary movies that accomplish what they set out to do, surprisingly I’ve found quite a few made in the last 5 years that are really good. It required alot of digging on my part and they are almost all independent though.
