Horror movies for the gurus.
I was approached by a group of my girlfriend's friends last night. One of them brought me a collection of "Puppetmaster". I personally don't watch horror movies that much, but her words are so interesting, so dark and scary. My question for the movie gurus is what am I expecting from these movies? is it worth watching those horror movies? and most important of all, who made those movies?

I don't think Puppetmaster is by any means a high watermark for the genre. Videodrome? The Black Cat? The Wicker Man? Daughters of Darkness? Gojira? The Seventh Victim? The genre is far too diverse for it to be reduced to Saw and Puppet Master. What to expect is insight into the things that scare us, into the harsh and dirty parts of our life to understand our challenges or feel that somebody else is scared of the same things we are and reach out and connect. When I watch the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I think "thank god somebody else sees that America looks like this, thank god people get to look at this place." Horror ranges from the Night Town episode of Ulysses to Du Maurier's Rebecca to the Lodger to Carlton Mellick's Baby Jesus Buttplug to Naked Lunch. There's a world of experience and a world of fears and insights to share. These movies are worth it, but not most of the Puppetmaster series. That said Puppetmaster 3 is kinda cool.

1. Expect cheesy little puppets killing people and gratuitous boob shots. 2. If you're not in to horror, I doubt these would turn you on to it. 3. Full Moon Pictures, known for low budget cheesy horror films.

Depends, I think a movie fan who has fun with the occasional b-movie and horror flick would enjoy the first few more than a "horror fan". Doc mentioned Wicker Man which is the complete opposite, a casual movie goer wouldn't appreciate that as much a somebody who is really into the horror genre. PLEASE realize that 90% of the time somebody mentions Wicker Man they DO NOT mean the Nicholas Cage version.

Kraken? It's no Mammoth, but I guess it's okay.
