Ok the premise is flimsy but I was pleasantly surprised with this. Quite nihilistic and refreshingly free from your usual teenage horror film cliches.

I'm a sucker for horror films though. some of the crap in my collection has to be seen to be believed. I Bought A Vampire Motorcycle anyone?

i tend to only watch really stupid horror movies just so i can laugh at them and the occasional really good horror movie. anything in between just pisses me off.

Gone Baby Gone

Really fantastic film that raises some interesting moral questions, Casey Affleck is going to be a far bigger star than his brother but his brother is going to be a hell of a director if he keeps spinning out quality pieces like this. Highly Recommended

People don't quite understand why I like horror films when I watch films by Almodavar, Bergman, Scorsese, Brakhage etc but why stick to one genre of movies. I absolutely detest pg 13 type of horror films. They have to be very gory or on the flip side very suggestive. Here's an example. Hostel. Christ that film really pissed me off. Eli roth claims that he has made the sickest movie ever. he takes us into a torture room then at the money shots the camera moves. either go all the way and show me you have the balls to put it on film or keep the camera outside of the room and suggest to the audience what is going on. There is one shot in the film where a guy is being wheeled around the torture factory and the guy (thus we) glimpse the various torture room,. That was much more horrifying.

i'm not into seeing violence for the sake of it though. It must have consequences and purposeful reasons (in the case of the protagonist at least) for me to appreciate it. Unless it's a zombie film of course, then I just want to see some chowing down!
