The US shits more gold then Italy does, which Italy has not shit gold in like 15 years, plus half the Giallos are so overrated, it's not funny.

The ones I've seen have been eons better than most US slashers. Now, granted, I haven't seen every one out there, and seeing that I've only seen a majority of what would be called the weaker entries and not a whole lot of what would be called the upper tier ones, take that for what you will.
In all likelihood, it'll just make their score a lot better.

99 percent of US slashers better then any Giallo I have seen, hands down!!
Italy is just not that GREAT, there good, but overrated as Fuck.
The US puts out tons of solid film each month, what is Italy doing?

GL's logic is ridiculous, but why don't we go by it: The top 2 American horror films are: Psycho (8.7/10) and Alien (8.5/10) The top 2 Italian horror films aren't even listed in the top 50 horrors. So, I think it's clear who wins.

I kind of understand what GL is saying and agree to some extent. The US has way more horror movies, while Italy has put out less, the Italian ones that are out their are pretty much guaranteed to deliver the goods, while American horror movies, its only about every other one.
As far as slasher movies go, the golden age of slasher film was in the 80s, what we have now is a decent one every now and again, but mostly poo poo.

I think modern slashers are actually better IMO.

There are definitely some great ones, don't get me wrong. I come across ones that I really like sometimes, but I see more that I dislike than I like.

I love new slashers, they are so fucking underrated!!!!! I mean they kick ass and people seem biased towards them. Italy puts out plenty of average stuff.

Thank you. Thank you. That's what I was trying to say all along. As for the slasher argument, I haven't seen too many but the ones I have were pretty good. I'd say the 80s topped them just slightly as they, on average, tended to be a little better while the ones nowadays are scoring slightly less, even though I'd definitely say we're living in a more productive age. The quantity is definitely a lot better.

I just don't agree a bit
But I am over this conversation.

Well, here's the last I'll also say on the matter:
I don't just look at the good that's produced, I look at everything. I don't just cast aside the ones I don't care about simply because there was good stuff I really, really liked.
Quality over quantity, and that's what Europe, and especially Italy, have been for me, quality films despite the quantity difference between everyone and the US.

Last thing I will say is for me America has had million more quality films.
But really I am done.
