have been watching a lots and lots of scary movies lately, two results.. i am sleeping with my nightlamp on, and second i am bored of mindless gory movies...
i am addicted to horror movies, serials and stories... i just loved them since childhood, tell me about a movie that its horror and i sure will watch it.
i have noticed that horror movies become disgusting the moment they concentrate more on murders.. not on the environment.
for example, i watched both the new exorcist and to kill a mocking bird. To kill a mocking bird is a serious movie, but its suspense scenes were far more hair raising than all that blood and gore poured down in exorcist.
i have seen half a dozen japanese horrors, most of them did not had a single murder, yet they scare me a lot more than movies like scream or halloween.
i really felt a little sad because the new exorcist had a very good storyline, which was ruined by (sometimes stomach churning) violence.
i guess, our new directors can take some tips from japanese horror film makers if they want to scare us, or from the director of the omen part 1 if they want to make a classic.
