What makes a truly brutal, disturbing horror movie?

[Shadow]

Yea the pleading does just make you want to yell Stop just stop it. It makes you think, makes the characters more real I guess. Then when the victims are killed anyway you really do hate the villian character and even thought you know its a film you think how could anyone do that. Least thats what I think at times lol if im just talking crazy tell me to shut up lol.

you dislike the film?

im not a huge fan of any of the firefly characters, i enjoy Bill Mosely though.

the best character in the movie was easily the sheriff though. my favortite scene was when he was just looking in the mirror rehearsing what he was gonna say to them when he met them. awesome scene. good actor.

The thing that really freaks me out is all the people that idolize Sheriff Wydell. Great character, but man...he wasnt any better than the Fireflys. Look at the IMDB boards, so many people put him on a pedastel - methinks they missed the point...

how was he no better than the fireflys? he seeked revenge for his brother. sure, he could have been a little nicer, but the dude was a bad ass. its what i liked about the film...theres no good guys. everyone's damn mean.

SPOILERS








I always thought a really powerful, disturbing scene was the showdown between Gene Hackman & Leonardo DiCaprio in The Quick & the Dead. When Leo gets shot aqnd is bleeding on the ground, realizing he's going to die always really got to me.

The end of Dead Man

SPOILERS

Johnny Depp is sent out into the river to die in a canoe, an indian ritual type thing. but while hes dying, he sees the man whos been tracking him down approach his good indian friend from behind. he is too close to death to call out or warn the indian, so he watches them both kill eacthother, and there was nothing he could do about it. then he passes away. that just really sucks, you know?

[can't get enough gore]

this is only my opinion from my expieriences....

1. you must have creepy villians: must be sadistic,yet be smart to set up deaths etc.

2. emotion: make the audiance put them selves in their position,that will truly make a film scary

3. gore: you cant just splatter shit on the walls...the way you kill,torture,maim a actor will really hit home

4.story:dont be like hostel,make a smart,interesting,scary story....think SAW...the saw movies had great stories that came all together at the end

5.characters:you must have interesting characters...if the audiance likes them they will be attached and when they get butchered in comes in the emotion

thats the best i can do if i ever made a film i would focus on those 5 things
