No list is perfect. Because their opinion. But this list isn't bad

Also to defend the horror channel-it started out extremely weak but in the past year I can thank it for introducing me to "Bird With The Crystal Plumage", "cat O Nine Tails", "Tenebrae", "Phenomena", "Terror At The Opera", "The Beyond", "City Of The Living Dead", "Mum and Dad" and numerous others-in fact it is showing "The Living And The Dead" tomorrow which I wholeheartedly recommend. None of these films I would consider "weak".

I just watched Mysterious Skin. That was pretty damn disturbing and, for want of a better word, icky.:eek:

Now you know why it's in the HDC Top 200 of the 2000s. ;)

Good to see that Threads is on there! I made a *ahem* thread about it not long ago. The story of the aftermath (80+ years) of a nuclear war in England. It has some hammy acting in places and doesn't have much gore but left me feeling a bit numb when it was over.

Too many nuclear holocaust movies focus on the one massive blast that'll wipe everyone out leaving mutants or whatever. This was grim and bleak and the horrors were very real, but not especially horrific sounding if you were to simply describe them.

I'd recommend it! The whole film is on Google Video (albeit in kind of sketchy quality).

Fair point, it has improved dramatically but it's still rife with poor programming. I hope they continue to go in the right direction.

Keep on the lookout for Emily Booth on the horror channel, she does interviews (e.g I saw one where she was talking to the actor who played "Pinhead) and very enthusiastically introduces some films. Also they slip in interviews with directors and I saw a great documentary about Dario Argento's "Non Ho Sonno".

Back to topic-I need to see Mysterious Skin but I'm going to watch Visitor Q first.

Brace yourself.:eek:

Just saw it-it was very good-completely insane and cringe inducing-doubt I could sit through it again tho.
