But to answer your question, I haven't seen many of the pre-50s classics. I only saw Freaks and loved it, which isn't really horror by today's standards, and the Cabinet of Dr Caligari, which didn't really do much for me. I'm more of a 70s and 80s type of chick but there are quite a few recent horror flicks that I absolutely love (Cube, May, The Mist, The Ruins, The Orphanage, Sunshine, etc.). I think I'm more drawn to psychological horror than actual gore or jump scares, and atmosphere is crucial for me to buy into any premise presented in a horror film. To me, after the Exorcist, the scariest movie of all time is Spoorloos (or the original The Vanishing). I find both these movies dripping with dread and tension all the way through. There isn't a drop of blood to be found in Spoorloos but it gives me chills from beginning to end. I watched a movie called The Hole a few weeks ago and I also found that very effective on a psychological level, although it does have many flaws. I guess sociopathy and psychopathy terrify me. Another example is the documentary Dear Zachary. That shit stayed with me for weeks (watch it if you want to know why). How about you? What's the common thread in the movies you love or that get to you the most?
P.S. Barry White, Frank Sinatra: some great singing along music. I wish Band Hero would give them the attention they deserve. :)
I feel strongly about my horror flicks and I love discussing them even more. I've become very skeptical from being disappointed so often, even by the filmmakers I've admired in the past. I take it you agree with me? I have yet to see a recent remake of a movie that I've actually liked that will make me change my mind about them (I don't hate all remakes but I only enjoyed the ones from originals I didn't think were that good in the first place).
What songs did you like from my playlist? I haven't added anything to it in ages but these are songs that I still love so I don't plan on changing much of it.
It is always great when you call into the show..I love your perspective on things...=D
You might say ....* puts on dark glasses* Denzel did his own remake... {exits off stage --cue CSI Miami theme}
