When you do a movie for a studio, it's gonna be somewhat homogenized. But a smaller movie like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre just came out of nowhere and horrified everybody. The fact that it was shot in 16 millimeter made it seem even more real. I would put Audition and 28 Days Later in the same category-they're not studio films. The small movies, where the director is capable of anything and not held back by studio pressures, are the most frightening.
