If you want foriegn horror, just go through that stack of reviews of mine....

I'm actually interested in trying to track down some African horror. Apparently, there's a big SOV horror market in Africa, but I can't find an importer of A-horror. With Asian horror marking a decade in North America, it's become old hat. I'm hoping that the alieness of African culture and folklore might pick-up where Asian horror wanned.; ▶ Reply to This

So, when do you get the results from the bar?; ▶ Reply to This

I like the movies but they could be done better. Some of the good African actors are being held back by bad directors.. I have yet to see a truly frightening African horror.; ▶ Reply to This

Even though it is anchored in the reality of war, the fantasy elements fit effortlessly into the story. A very intense and brutal film.; ▶ Reply to This

Eyes Without A Face is one of my favorite horror films. Its about a plastic surgeon who is obsessed with restoring his daughter's beauty after a car accident that he caused. You can imagine what he does to repair her disfigurement. Its truly chilling and visually beautiful.
Another good one is Le Boucher. A woman falls in love with a butcher who may/may not be taking his profession to the streets.; ▶ Reply to This

Blind Beast was definitely one of the odder movies I've seen, but for some reason it just left me cold--to me it was not real sexy, not real scary, and the protagonist whining about his blindness being all his mother's fault just annoyed the hell out of me--couldn't develop any empathy at all and I ended up just wanting the two loonies to hurry up and kill each other and put me out of my misery. LOL

Loved Demonlover, though. Rather a guilty pleasure for sure! I loved Chloe Sevigny and Gina Gershon in that movie.; ▶ Reply to This

Nightwatch is the latter.; ▶ Reply to This
