Topic: Why are there no modern day Hitchcocks?

+Anonymous A — 13.6 years ago #18,317

Hitchcock could create tension and suspense filled films with little but light, a great screenplay, great actors and music as well as superb editing and camera angles. His films were quickly made and cost little in terms of budget.

I guess David Lynch might be the next closest thing.

yes, but also Devil's backbone, and Pan's Labyrinth.

Pan's Labyrinth's budget was 19 million USD, whereas Psycho's was less than 900,00 USD.

Just looking at his filmography it seems like it's nothing but a lot of SFX driven films.

Syntax claims that made Hitchcock from his own DNA as a personal favour to his close friend President Hoover.

I don't believe I've ever seen that one. Was it any good?

Yesterday someone I know was throwing away a pile of old books and DVDs, I grabbed a Pans Labyrinth 2 disc set with 2 hrs of extras that I'm watching tonight. I hope it's not too scratched.

I loved it. Also, due to inflation, can we really expect film makers to be able to have the same budget requirements as someone who worked 5o0years ago?

Was this in 1918 when Syntax was directly responsible for the creation of the Soviet Union while working undercover for MI6?
