Real Life Horror In Modern Movies
I've recently watched a few DVD'S that have been portrayals of real killers in particular those from the late 60's and 70's in America.The three which stand out are BUNDY, THE HILLSIDE STRANGLER and THE MANSON FAMILY.
I found these movies to be real uncomfortable viewing experiences as the rape and murder scenes are very explicit and graphic.Add to that these events really happened and these are what you call films that really horrify you.
THE MANSON FAMILY has to be one of the most violent films I have ever seen in the UK that has been passed by the censor without any fuss.
I was also surprised at how strong the other 2 movies I have mentioned are considering all the videos that were banned in this country not so long ago.It also struck me how soft and unscary most fictional "horror" movies really are compared to these based on real events movies.
However I am a sucker for punishment and I am now waiting for delivery of ED GEIN,DAHMER and GACY.
