Surprise surprise! I’m back. Sorry for the inconvenience, but… I jus’ want to voice my opinion on horror films. Sorry for the wall of text, but here we go…
That’s two sorry’s too many dude, that’s why opinion is in the thread title!
Eraserhead is a great example of my type of horror, bizarre images with bizarre sounds, no cheap shit. Same with the Exorcist. While both of these movies have people in them to react to them they are still PROPER HORROR.
Slasher movies are the absolute worst type of horror. They don’t scare me or make me feel creeped out. Sure, they have you on edge, but it isn’t really unique or effective, unless you’re squeamish or something.
Always a good time when Eraserhead is mentioned, even though you’re talking about horror you’re using a similar logic I would when it comes to blockbusters, sometimes the thrill isn’t enough, something should stick with you after you’ve seen it.
P.S. it would be superb if anyone could direct me to something like it, think Little Baby’s Ice Cream crossed with Dining Room or there is Nothing, with the latter’s grainy and warm-coloured palette and horrific sound effects.
That is all.
Great stuff, I think you’d enjoy some of Lynch’s other shorts like The Grandmother, Rabbits, or Premonitions Following an Evil Deed as part of the anthology film Lumiere and Company (1995).
