FrightFest

Really liking the Paloma Faith album

Have got all 3 of the Millenium books, only just finished Dragon Tattoo though.

I think there shall be several purchases this weekend, all I bought was Dorothy this month

Yep the quality of the films on HC has improved massively, really really enjoyed The Killing Room

Now proudly own this, never thought is see it roll up in my Tesco in Failsworth but hey i'm glad it did.

Good memories of my first FF in Glasgow

A Nightmare On Elm st i just dont like it,its not to say its an overall bad film,i just find it very very dull,poorly acted and freddy never scared me,its given its classic and cult status but really it isnt very good, it may have a great idea in its script but the film just doesnt do it for me,nee...

You know this is gonna degenerate into a fight lol Anyway, hmmmmmmmm Star Wars Just absolutely hate it with a passion, bores me to tears Lord Of The Rings Oh Please, hobbits and wizards and god knows what else. And it runs for about 12 hours. No thanks Nightmare On Elm Street This never captured me ...

Martyrs and Audition are very disturbing visually and in terms of content but for me horror is typically based around slasher, paranormal, werewolves, vampires, monsters, cannibals etc Hence why I enjoyed the likes of Hostel but for me I wouldn't bundle it in as horror as such. That's not to say you...

There's a reason for that..... ops:

Could be that 1 star rating perhaps....?

Is this man a politician?? :D Good question though, you could say that horror is something that sets out to scare, disturb or to frighten and maybe from there it can have sub genres or other things attatched to it ie comedy horror? That said Martyrs was a disturbing film but as I said when I lent it...

Excellent, this is one I will be getting this month.

Anyone know how Grace is progressing?

I like the fact that many people believed such places exist, maybe that was the selling point for the films concept??

Let's open this debate up even more then....

What is a horror film?

Wether for you personally, or key features or what you feel makes for a succesful one?

Hmmm so a good horror is based on what could genuinely upset or frighten you.

I could subscribe to that theory and may explain my love of slashers and paranormal horror over most others, both of these could realistically happen.

That said why could the events of Hostel not actually be true...?

No

Amer was not great






But that's just my opinion

I don't think it's dead, it's just not given enough promotion But maybe keeping it a bit under the radar is not always a bad thing, if it means teh cinemas aren't full of freaks and chavs who cant STFU up 90 minutes. Then you read the Centurion post on here and see the piss poor level of distributio...
