A step forward for Horror
28 September 2008
alright, well i am a special FX make up artist so I'm frequently watching new horror movies (and old) and you usually have 5 extremes that a horror movie can fit into these days: -Asian extreme -indie -wannabe horror icons -completely commercial -remakes this would fit into low budget indie, which doesn't give it justice, the masters of horror movies and the 8 films to die for comps are within this genre and id say none of the movies even meet this standard, horror seems dead right now, Asian movies are constantly being remade as well as 70's and 80's horror movies, which is alright but doesn't do justice for the originals most of the times and commercial movies have no guts, lack thought provoking plots and meaningful story lines, then you have the movies made for gores sake which does have its own underground following... but to get to my point in not sure this movie fits into any of these, it has something to say without being pushy, has talented cast and crew and ITS THE SCARIEST movie I've seen in a LONG time. What happened to trying to make someone pee their pants in a theater, isn't that the point of horror? give this a try it's not perfect but it's a step forward for horror.
