there's a great alfred hitchcock bit where he talks about dividing fear into dread, terror and horror. dread is what you feel when something is going to happen but it hasn't yet. terror is what you feel the moment it happens. horror is what you feel when you look at the aftermath. he says that it's trivial to make horror because all you have to do is pour buckets of blood on everything. but it's also the least effective scare. terror is better, but you can only get a couple of moments of terror before people start to see it coming and roll their eyes. movies about dread are by far the most effective, but also the hardest, because you have to imply things without ever showing them. when i think about it, all of the best "horror" movies are really about dread, with only brief moments of terror or horror to punctuate things. alien, it follows, get out...

Jonny 290 posted:that reminds me it's The Thing season again hell yeah, the thing is definitely top tier:  i've got a lot of strong 4-star ratings too that are almost 5 stars except for some critical flaw, like i love dawn of the dead but the makeup and the pacing is pretty rough for example looking at that now i think maybe Mandy might be a bit overrated by myself but i've rewatched it several times so maybe not. just my opinion and all that vOv e: that screenshot is missing a few thrillers that are basically horror movies too, like silence of the lambs and misery Cold on a Cob fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Oct 13, 2022 |
