i thought event... was more ghost than gore. actually, that might be the reason why it appeals. it has equal parts of both. generally, i find less is more in relation to gore (nice! it rhymes). take an american werewolf in london or candyman or it or the omen. a sense of menace is always superior to splatter. sometimes i find myself saying 'why are you screamiing its only a hand, you have a spare. the japanese girl in the last movie had a fucking blow torch in her eye'. we become desensitised. but a good psychological thriller can always mess with your head. session9 is a great mix of menace with nastiness at the right time. if anyone can recommend some more finely balanced movies of the same ilk as event horizon and session9 i'd be very interested.
