Good read here. Talks a lot about The House of the Devil and how he tries to engage his audience with his films.
I’m sad that Cabin Fever 2 never got the proper treatment. Not fair.
I love Cradle of Filth, despite the fact that I’m a full-grown adult with a job. I can’t help myself. Over at Bloody Good Horror they’ve got a great guest post featuring the man’s top 10 horror films. Dig it.
You only really need to read the 2nd paragraph of this short writeup on the Slate, but it’s a nice summary of the success of these sort of horror flicks in 2009.
Good read. I think I’ll have to come up with my own list once we pull our damn heads out of the ground.
You know why so many horror movies take place in the 70’s? Because
a) The 70’s were awesome
q) Some of them were filmed in the 70’s and the director didn’t have a time machine and
4) There were no cell phones.
Cell phones are stupid and ruin everything, especially horror movies. You’re never more than 3 clicks away from registering your current location on FourSquare.
So what do you do when you need to screw your helpless cast and your horror movie takes place in the current day? No signal.
If you’re in the NYC area this weekend, check out the NYC Horror Film Festival. It’s been held at Tribeca Cinemas, in you guessed it, Tribeca. Tons of great movies are making their premiere or having their official unveiling here, plus a lot of avid horror fans will be partying and mingling all weekend long, so if there was ever a chance to meet that special someone who will be OK with your horror-loving, toy-buying, I don’t want to grow up ass, then this could be that chance.
WTF? Yes. I was thinking the same thing when I ran upon this title while perusing the horror film section at a local Best Buy yesterday. I was actually thinking, “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me, how ridiculously corny can this movie be.” Before seeing a second, I had rated this film “shit sandwich”. Apparently, it’s really awesome. Go figure.
Nice top 10 list from BD.
