The 1990s was a dull era full-stop - No major wars to speak of - The world has become a far more dangerous place to live in the last few years and what goes in a society reflects on its film culture. The era wasn't entirely without merit though - Carpenter showed half a return to form with "In The Mouth..." "Candyman" was a good little chiller. "Se7en" was awesome - I'll go out on a limb here and say that even "Fight Club" had some roots in horror. (If you can call "Psycho" a horror film then I think you could argue the case for FC) "Scream" wasn't entirely bad. Rounding the decade off with "Blair Witch" the 90s ended on a bit of a high. The decade was also a bit of a bonus for UK audiences because it saw the theatrical releases of "The Exorcist" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". (re-released after a lengthy ban by the BBFC) On a change of note, am I the only one who thinks that David Lynch is something of a horror buff - "Fire Come Walk With Me" was twisted enough to call itself a horror flick - Any thoughts?
