what are some great horror films? i have a weakness for this genre.i saw 'the texas chainsaw massacre' about two years ago, and i really did like it alot.
i saw 'jeepers creepers' about 3 months ago, and i thought wow, where did this film come from? this is a gem to me.
i saw 'evil dead' if that's the one that takes place in a rented cabin, and that's a good film.
as as i mentioned before, i saw a french horror film, i think it was a foreign film, where people are locked into a movie theater, and that was quite good.
one that was really pretty amazing, but i don't have the name handy, starts out with a photographer taking pictures of a woman he does not know, but eventually gets slashed by her and a mob. then he is in the hospital completely bandaged with only one good eye, and they go in and stick a knife into his only good eye.
that film is about a whole new england town that is going after, i think only one person left, the local sheriff.
that's a great film. i guess it's a similar theme to the 'invasion of the body snatchers' where you are the only one left and you know you are going to die.
i think what is great about horror films is the weakening of boundaries between life and death. the issue of mortality and dying really come to the forefront. fear, anxiety, annilation, insignificance, dying, all become overblown for 90 minutes, and the normal reality is lost.
any recommendations for great horror films?
