Ralp

by Jeffrey of YOSPOS
when I was a little Ralp, Poltergeist was the first scary movie my parents let me watch and the chair stacking scene and bathroom mirror scene are still my favorite scares in any horror film.

Ralp

by Jeffrey of YOSPOS
yeah prior to about 1982 film pacing had not yet been invented so a lot of older horror movies are imho nearly unwatchable. Two examples stick out to me though that use the ultra-slow burn pace to terrific effect:
ALIEN, the perfect movie of all time, enough said.
and Rosemary's Baby. This one is glacial but it's so much the better for it, the suspense building is intricate and constant. When Ravel composed Bolero he could never get conductors to play it slowly enough, that's what Rosemary's Baby reminds me of.
