Thread Name: BS: Terror At Thirty Thousand Feet (horror)
Subject: RE: BS: Terror At Thirty Thousand Feet (horror)
Mmmm... I LOVE a good scary movie...
The problem is, oh so very very few of them are scary (Totally a subjective thing)
For instance, I much preferred John Lithgow to Shatners portrayal of Terror at 30,00 Feet...
I have dug The Exorcist ever since I snuck out of bed to watch it on t.v. when I was a kid... (The line, "Your mother darns socks in Hell" still cracks me up to no end!) The book is a hell of a good read as well... I even enjoyed the majority of Part 3... (One of the LAST times I ever actually JUMPED in fear at a movie)
Stephen King bores me to tears... Ya wanna read good horror, read Clive Barker! That man is one sick f&ck! (Also one of the nicest guys you'd ever wanna meet!)
The 6th Sense unfortunately overshadowed a much better film out around the same time... "Stir Of Echoes" is a pretty damn good ghost story/murder mystery... And well, for the most part I'm a Kevin Bacon fan... It probably helps that I figured out the 'twist' in 6th Sense about 25 minutes into the film... That and I find M. Night to be one of the most BORING directors ever... His pacing is like a snail on morphine...
Anybody remember "Se7en"? O.k... forget that Brad Pitt was in it.. it also had Morgan Feeman and Keven Spacey... there was a movie that creeped me out... mostly because someone had to THINK of all that stuff to write it down! Made the Gemini Killer look like a tea-party...
I also really dug moments of "Prince OF Darkness"... Old John Carpenter, but that dream sequence still chills me a bit...
