I'm convinced that saying old shit is garbage is just part of being young. We all went through it. I can remeber hating anything in B&W, without ever watching it. I hated the Rolling Stones because my parents liked them. That's just how it goes until you get to about 25 , then you take a much more cerebral view instead of trying to be different . You end up liking what you like, not what's cool at the time. And this generation is just trained to treat any movie that takes time to establish a story as boring. They'll get over it the more immersed in movies they become. Casual movie goers never will, but who gives a shit about them?
Anyway, DOTD is a classic. But the problem is it's not a straight up horror movie. Theres satirical moments all through it which many youngsters will never notice. And it is dated in terms of style, and you know kids...
