Clive Barker Knocks Eli Roth and Rob Zombie
Clive Barker made some controversial comments in an interview yesterday on Bloody Disgusting in which he took a shot at Roth, Zombie and the current state of horror movies. Surprised no one has picked up on this yet. I blogged about it yesterday:

Well, he is only vocalizing what many people feel. A LOT of people are bored with what passes for a horror flick these days. And it's no laughing matter!

The only thing about his statements I disagree with is that he includes Rob Zombie in the torture porn genre. Zombie is pretty much his own thing and I think that a lot of directors could learn from him. Even at their worst, his movies are pretty smart and they're full of fun, he also has a flare for metafilm and pop culture nods equalled only by Quentin Tarantino.

Yeah, I'm behind him all the way. Actually, if people started adapting some more of his books, we might might be in a more exciting state of horror right now...
But I don't see anything wrong, unreasonable, or even harsh, with what the man said.

Without reading most of it, I think 'kinky horror maven' (!) Clive Barker is speaking out against an evolving genre in which he is no longer a major player.
If you had such classics as Nightbreed and Lord of Illusions (snigger!) under your belt, maybe you would too.

Does he equal Tarantino? No. No one can, but he's up there. IMO
