I think when he was doing stuff like Shivers or Rabid, his rather blank style worked perfectly. It was later on, when he seemed to be trying to develop into some kind of arthouse director, that he started to really show his limitations. For me, Spider was like listening to Sham 69 trying to play Erik Satie.
