So she’s either fine and happy and everything is hunky dory, or she’s experiencing that moment of clarity you get before doing something big (and usually dangerous or crazy)…
There’s an awesome British film by one of my favourite directors (Shane Meadows) called Dead Man’s Shoes. It’s a horror movie from an unusual perspective… honestly, it is just one of the best films ever made so you should all watch it
I also have a guilty pleasure which is a film called Dark Corners starring Thora Birch… part of me knows it is trash, but it’s kinda awesome at the same time…
There are actually a few on your list @thebuz that I haven’t seen, so thank you! I love the Alien films, the first one got pretty close to scaring me which is an achievement. There’s only one film that has actually terrified me and it’s not even really a horror film…
I AGREE WITH ALL OF THIS. Dumplings, Three Extremes and Visitor Q all deserve a mention, Visitor Q especially (in my top ten fav films of all time, along with Battle Royale).
I understand the context and backstory now of course, but back then all I thought was “if that is what sex is like, I am *never* doing it. Ever.” And then there was some crazy blind lady, Julie Christie fainting a lot and a gnome in a red coat so I was thoroughly confused. Love it now though!
I think the Japanese do horror so well, I love the Ring trilogy (the American remakes are dreadful tho). Peeping Tom is a fantastic film from 1960. And the original Nosferatu – but I consider that a love story rather than horror.
Ok, the moment where his expression changes… that’s actually a little disturbing. I’m all bravado and stuff, but I bet if I met him face-to-face I’d be crying inside
