"A director can try all he likes to re-create that atmosphere and look(as Tobe Hooper did with The Toolbox Murders), but I have yet to see one that really makes me feel I am in that time era."
Well, that's another problem, IMO. Trying to recreate a time era or setting we saw in other movies. Why recreate something? Of course it's not gonna come off as authentic. It's best to try and make a film realistic with today's times. Pull from real life, not other movies.
As much as I love the old classics, I'm starting to think this obsession with them is part of the problem. For example, do we really need another "throwback to 70's exploitation?" If I see one more car pull up to an old gas station in the opening act of a movie, I'm gonna scream.
