The Horror!

While I am writing this I am watching a REALLY old horror movie ( it was made in the 40's) with my friends. I know that people complain about the quality of the acting in movies today, but judging from this movie, the acting was no better back then. This movie reminds me of a bad high school play. All the actors are trying to show what they are doing rather than being real. Now that I am focusing on it, it is really getting on my nerves. As far as plot goes, the movie is interesting, but I don't believe any of it becuase of the crappy acting. There are occasional moments where the acting is not so bad, usually when the characters are not speaking. The dialogue is especially stilted.
