Clue your self up on the genre and take a standpoint/direction from there. Blow people out with the shit you discover that kicks your ass.

Which is exactly what I'm going to do now.

Any more recommendations as to what films I should watch? Ones which would fit with the 'changing perceptions/ not what you think' thing? :confused:

Erm, I guess so?!

Films that weren't what people expected them to be...or exposing the underlying themes in films....or 'definining' films.

PM your email and I'll throw some ideas/flicks your way because I'm looking at doing the same thing to fund the printing of my shitty fanzine.

Or don't.

But yo.... I'm going to bed cuz I'm drunk and can't think.

I think a more recent example of straight forward psychological non-gore horror would be Fallen. It is about an evil that can pass from person to person through touch. It is not very challenging to more advanced horror fan but does give the idea of not being able to trust anyone. It might be worth a shot.

The older I get the more i'm getting away from gore. Give me a well done mystery or pschological horror. A mixture of both would be ideal. The Eye is a good example.



of course there are still times when I just want to shut the mind down and get into a "Dead Alive" or "Story of Ricky"
