I'm not much of a horror fan at all. Muholland Drive, Lost Highway and others have elements of horror to them, but they are not horror films.

The only horror movie I really appreciate is Silence of the Lambs. Others are good, but Silence of the Lambs is magnificent. Chop off the genre beginning and end and you have a bulk of film that prolly understands best how to use horror. Its not that the film break grounds in using pyshcological horror, but it seems like it has the best elements in which to use it. First, Hannibal Lector is given the perfect actor to play him. No unrealistic costume or grosque make up to make him chilling, but Hopkins relying only on Hopkins. The realism of his character makes him more identifiable, thus more chilling. Second, the story allows full investigation of Lector. Its so remote that much of the film is just interviewing Lector behind the glass wall to his prison cell. Everything that is terrible about him is not measured up by previous scenes of him killing at all, but what we think he could do. Other horror movies seem to mix both together so that it can please more audiences. With every advancement of pyschological horror, comes a murder that disrupts the environment. For everything we can imagine about potential horror, actual murders feel too punctual.

I also think the original Pyscho is highly overrated. More of a movie that was just trying to shock with a few scenes and ideas than anything else. Its dated.

yeah, theyre not horror movies.  and i am going to have to be the minority and say that i dont believe, (contrary to eli roths pov) that movies like silence of the lambs or sixth sense are horror movies either.  without sounding too much like GT, it seems like in order to be a real 'horror' movie there are rules to the genre, and when it steps outside those, it becomes something else.  like a supernatural thriller or psychological thriller or whatever.

Friday the 13th Franchise

banky you actually like the friday the 13th series? more than say, the nightmare on elm street's?

no, and i feel ashamed that i left the original off my top ten list.  I was just saying the best of the franchise of F13 was good for about one movie slot on the list.  But serously im looking at my NOEL box set shedding a tear because i left the original off.  Here comes the edit

I could agree with that. I mentioned Silence of the Lambs because it does focus on a larger than life murderer and much of it is the pyschological horror of his identity, but yea, it is still thriller. I'm not sure if I like any real horror films. I do admit I've never seen any Alien film either.

you didnt like Halloween?

[Gold Trumpet]

you didnt like Halloween?

Years ago. My memory's quite faded of it but I don't remember being overly impressed. I thought i had to be either 'scared' or 'not'.
