10 Best Horror Movies Of 1970 | Prime Horror

Описание: Horror movies of the ‘70s reflected the grim mood of the decade. After the optimism of the ’60s, with its multiple revolutions, and the moon landings, the seventies were something of a disappointment. By 1970, the party was over; the Beatles split, Janis and Jimi passed, and in many ways it was all downhill from there: Nixon, Nam, oil strikes, glam rock, medallions and feather haircuts. However, when society goes bad, horror films get good, and the ’70s marked a return to the big budget, respectable horror film, dealing with contemporary societal issues, addressing genuine psychological fears.

We’ll eventually make our way through the entire decade but, for now, this is the 10 Best Horror Movies Of 1970.
