S'nice to read your views. I think the key is (and this has been said a million times) that too many horror films at the mo follow the same old trend.
I think if I see one more damn horror film that starts with a group of american teenagers (all different) who are bored with life and want to do somethin 'way out' i'm just gonna switch off. If i'd wanted to see that shit i'd watch bloody scooby do (which would probably be scarier - did you see the one with the swamp monster??).
The key is also to put horror in a position where it is not expected. For example horror films involving kids are very popular cos kids are meant to be innocent. (this is why i may be interested in godsend - reminds me of the end of Pet Cemetry).
The setting is also gotta be somewhere unexpected. Thats probably why dog soldiers is so successful.
Dow know what the 'R' rating is over here. Suppose its like an 18. Thats the other problem. Theres no horror films over here that make an 18 certificate anymore. How the hell are films meant to shock people if you have to make them for an audience of kids (less than 15). Its bollox. Wish I lived back in the days of old where horror was a new thing and really messed people up.
I did like F vs J but only cos I went in there expectin it to be nothin but a gorefest and a bit of a laugh. When you add a metal soundtrack on top of that its pretty good. When I left that there were a few people talkin like they went in there looking for artistic fullfillment or something. Suprised they didn't start talkin bout the bad cinematography and the lack of casting imagination. Hee hee.
Oh yeah....does anyone know whether you can put your own little picture of your choosing alongside your message??
