Stop the hype for new Italian horror movies

because face it, good Italian horror movies are OVER. There's no more Deodato, no more Argento (at least he doesn't have any good ideas left), no more Bava, no more Fulci. Guys like this Zampaglione (leader of a boring Italian pop band, by the way) try to revamp a genre that has nothing to do with them, filling movies with clichès and Hollywood influences, with LAME results. I'm Italian, I love cannibal holocaust, I love deep red, I love most of Fulci movies, and it pains me to say PLEASE don't be hyped just because this is an Italian horror movie: it's dull, boring, gratuitous, full of clichès and ideas that have already been explored way better, and does not deserve a good score on this site.
