Horror... :)

I do love a good horror.

My brother, who asides from various media / film teachers I've met is probably the biggest film lover I know, says

'The horror genre, whilst having really good movies within it, is probably the one genre that gets watered down by the most shit.'

My Favourite Horror Movies:

• The Ring... the ORIGINAL is way better than the remake. Way more terrifying and made me poo my pants a lot more. Not that little Samara Morgan isn't pant pooingly scary regardless of Japanese or American manufacturing...

Not to be confused with The Grudge, which is again scary in both versions but Japanese version is both tamer and more brutal... in differing parts. But I dislike the storyline.

• The Shining... Psychological and INCREDIBLE, TV series is feasibly decent but nowhere near as enchanting as Nicholson's mad man lead. And lets not forget the most memorable moment of the entire film...

• Texas Chainsaw Massacre... just cause its sooo drawn out and spectacularly shocking for its time... remake is like all remakes, grislier but not as fun. stay away from ANY sequel... and 'the beginning'. Most successful, definitely. My favourite part is when a girl is stuck on a meat hook whilst Leatherface saws up a victim nearby.

• Massive fan of new film 'The Strangers'... very hard to watch and the trailer itself is remarkable. Worst part is the end, actually, most of it is just soooo drawn out you're terrorised too.

• Elm Street... PLEASE DON'T SCREW UP THE REMAKE!! Sequels are bogus, original possibly my favourite? Johnny Depp's film debut as well :) Best part, the pool of blood in the bed after Freddy slices up a girl in her sleep.
• Halloween ORIGINAL but actually remake wasn't that bad. None of the sequels are up to par, and there are A LOT of sequels. Best part in the original, can't name one, it's all awesome. In the remake, when Michael chases a girl through the walls of a house!
• Exorcist, for obvious reasons... nothing better than a man dub film voice making a little girl scream obscenities and masturbate with a crucifix... oh NOW you're interested!! Best part... hard to say. All makes you squirm.
• Psycho, probably the most critically acclaimed. Didn't find it scary but huge fan of Hitchcock. That shower scene makes me paranoid EVERY time.
• Nosferatu... that guy is CREEPY! silent horror film that managed to creep me out.

There are more... well obviously. More another time.

Peace out xxx
