I absolutely can't stand horror. As a genre, it makes no sense whatsoever. Why would you want to be scared shitless? Aren't there enough real things to worry about, rather than have authors, producers, directors come up with new and novel ways to cause insomnia? I was 9 when Jaws came out. That night I couldn't sleep because I thought my bed was a raft and there was a hugeass fin circling it. I couldn't shower, people! At the time we were living in Dubai, in a villa on Beach Road and I was convinced, according to my dad, that a large shark would ninja its way onto the beach, across the road and curl under my bathtub waiting for yours truly to enter the bathroom so that I could subsequently exit this world, stage left via shark.
So I really don't watch shows such as Supernatural, Walking Dead, Vampire Diaries. I tried watching the last, but when you're forwarding every scene to see if something creepy happens, then rewinding it so that you are prepared for said creepiness, it kinda gets to be a wee bit of a drag. HOWEVER, a new appreciatiom for the newly SINGLE Ian Somerhalders cutie pie dimples and smouldering sexiness could make this chicken watch that show all over again, insomnia be damned.
This summer, an absolute shit load of horror flicks have come out. Hubs is in seventh heaven (toba toba Ramadan) because he is an absolute horror geek. Ditto sister-in-law. From World War Z to Insiduous Part 2, from the umpteenth remake of Carrie to yet another Evil Dead film. Seriously, don't we have enough real shit happening in the world that you have to get your rocks off watching this stuff?
Another thing; what's with the remakes and redos, the part 2 up until part 21? No new ideas? Here's a thought, don't waste money making shit movies. Get an idea, a GOOD one, then make it. Don't insult yourself making flicks which years from now you will deny having anything to do with.
On a serious note, you want horror, just watch today's news. News from anywhere around the world. There's the horror people. I'd rather get scared by a mechanical shark named Bruce every day than watch today's horror, brought to you direct from CNN and Fox News, BBC and PTV.
