Horror

Not for the fainthearted.

We are a nation of sick minded people...isnt it great? lol! Filming has already started on the 6th film, so I'm sure answers to some questions in this one will hopefully be cleared up... Just how many ways are there to torture someone?? answers on a postcard lol!

Memorable characters, superbly acted, bucket loads of tension and even the special effects have held up fairly well!

A pshycological thriller/horror depicting the repeated sexual attack of a woman (Barbara Hershey) by an unseen supernatural attacker. Pretty dated nowadays, strong issues are tamed down compared with the 'full-on in your face' attitude of today. If made now it would be viewed as low budget, but considering its age, it's a classic! Quite scary when you consider it's based on true events. Admittedly it is loosely based in places the ending especially, but the fundamental issues are all there.

I thought it was going to be more scary than that.

Wrong Turn is a very tense piece of work, and with a very short running time, manages not to outstay it's welcome and maintains it's pace. It's pretty good albeit formulaic, a good ride none-the-less.

This is without a doubt one of my favourite films of all time. Brilliant performances from both Freeman and Pitt's portrayal of a rocky relationship of master and apprentice, as their very different lives become intertwinned as the film progresses. An emotional roller coaster of a film based on the 7 deadly sins with underlying theme of the love a man can share with a woman and the pain human beings can cause to one another. With a supporting role from Gywneth Paltrow as Pitt's wife, and a chilling performance from Kevin Spacey, not to mention a truly devastating finale, this film is definitely one for the collection.

This is a more thoughful Hitchcock film based on a short story by Daphne de Maurier. The storyline supposes that our feathered friends in a Californian coastal area suddenly take a dislike to the human race (and who can blame them). It isn't a fast paced film, but then few of Hitchcock's are. It's a film that does draw you in though and the end is positively haunting. A brilliant film that's well worth watching.

This film is, without a doubt, an absolute classic cinema piece! Banned for over 30 years in the UK, cut to shreds of which most of the original footage is lost, but it still delivers.



This is a wonderful film about freaks, sideshow oddities... but although we too may feel at times uneasy being 'voyeurs' of said freaks, such feelings are short-lived. If anything, and as spelt out from the beginning of the film, Browning wanted to point out how they are normal people with normal feelings (sadly, half the crew refused to work with the deformed actors and actresses and the initial 'normal' leading lady screamed and left the set and had to be replaced) and he certainly gets this across.



The use of real 'freaks' adds an eerie quality which could never have worked as well with actors portraying the disabilities. The sound quality is not great, but this is a problem with the film itself. Films like this would never be made today. A real oddity and a treat. So ahead of its time, absolutely brilliant take on human nature and how cruel we can be.
