Horror Obssession

I like the colour pink. I like cute fluffy animals. I wear high heels. And i like HORROR, especially gore and blood. Not the exact perfect image of a girl who loves horror movie. My horror passion started when i was young. Remember the days when you rent videos? I always rent horror movies. What about horror movies that i like so much? The feeling of being terrified is exciting.

I was watching Halloween. It seems a lot of people think this is one of the best horror movies. Not for me. Maybe because this was a 70's horror movie, the time where people are still experimenting with horror movies. And perhaps during that time it's a trend where everyone enjoy watching a horror/thriller movie where there's a psychotic killer lurking in the dark for his victims, killing them off one by one. *yawn*... not my kind of horror movie.

There are many kinds of horror movies, let me list a few :

1. Demon Possession

The most famous demon possession type horror movie is The Exorcist. I'm not a fan of demon possession but The Exorcist is one of my favourite horror movie. Cool and scary special effects. And it's not your typical boring demon possession kind of movie. The Omen is another movie within this category. It's boring. Nothing horrific.

2. Slasher flick

This is where psycho killer go around killing people with a piece of knife. Again, this is not my kind of horror movie. The plot for every slasher flicks are pretty much the same, you have a bunch of friends being killed off one by one. "Bimbo" couples having sex or nude scene will be killed off first until the hero/heroin remains. Halloween, Scream and Friday the 13th are your kind of slasher flicks. But the latest Friday the 13th (2009) movie remake was quite good and to my liking because there's a lot of hardcore gore. Even the latest Halloween movie, Halloween H20 was also to my liking because of the gore scenes. The older versions aren't really into gore and more into frightening rather than making disgusting scenes. And the killers where MASKS because supposedly they have disfigured faces, not because they are shy. I suppose the masks are suppose to make them more scary.

3. DEMON LIKE KILLERS

Kindda hard to explain this category but it's basically killers that have supernatural ability to kill his victims. Like Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm Street who haunts people through their dreams and he can kill you in his dream. He's my favourite horror! Then you have Hellraiser, a bunch of mean looking killers with demonic or satanic elements. They kill their victims by torturing them and turning them into horrible looking beings. I like this kind of horror, more blood and gore.

4. VAMPIRES, WEREWOLF AND OTHER SO CALLED MYTHICAL CREATURES

Vampires and werewolves these days are sooooooo overrated no thanks to Twilight. And what's with people and the combination of vampires and werewolf. The concept is getting old and irritating. Van Helsing, Underworld, Twilight are among the many movies that concentrate on vampires and werewolves. Of course there are other movies which just concentrate on the concept of vampire OR werewolf alone. This kind of horror is not my thing either because they don't kill their victims violently. Vampires uses their sexuality to capture their victim while werewolf i guess rip their victims apart? But i've never seen violent vampire or werewolf movies before. Maybe because i hardly watch such movies. BORING. But True Blood is the one and only best drama for vampire and werewolf.

5. ZOMBIES

I've seen wayyyyyy too many zombie movies that i'm getting bored watching it. Some zombie movies are good, but some are simply stupid and boring. Stupid and boring are those where the zombies suddenly developed super human strength, can outsmart humans and can run faster than Usain Bolt. It defeats the very essence of zombies actually, which is they are suppose to be dead, slow walking and stupid beings a.k.a the walking dead and not the running dead. However the exception to all this is the movie RESIDENT EVIL (all sequels) because besides having zombies, they have other interesting scary looking creatures. Plus they have great fight scenes since the main character is a strong woman that kick ass.



6. CRAZY GORE HORROR

This kind of horror movie involve a lot of disgusting scenes like limbs get chopped off, blood spurting and splashing every where, sick and disgusting killing methods. Not for squeamish people. Movies like this are SAW, Hostel, Descent 1 and 2, Wrong Turn, The Hills have Eyes and many others. A lot of violence are involved. My favourite kind of horror :-)... Simply for entertainment. To appreciate such movie, there must be a good storyline and good and creative killing methods. Yes, it's sickening. OOOh i almost forgot about Long Khong a.k.a Art of the Devil 1, 2 and 3. It's one of the best disgusting bloody asian horror movie.



7. ASIAN HORROR FLICKS

Korean are the best in making asian kind horror movies. Asian horror movies involved a woman with long hair seeking revenge due to the fact she's unhappy with something. This is my favourite horror type of movie but sometimes it can get boring if it has a very typical plot. Very rare good scary ones. Ghosts crawling slowly is no longer that scary because there are simply too many ghosts crawling around. A piece of advise to asian horror directors --> do come up with a new way how ghosts are suppose to approach their victims. Thai horror movies are also good but their special effects are ridiculous. Not up to the standard and can look pretty fake if they rely too much on it. Among the best Thai horror movies : Shutter, Alone, Bhuparahtree and some funny horror Thai movies which i can't remember the title.






8. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS HORROR MOVIES

I like horror movies that involved dolls. It's scary. When i was young, after watching Chucky, i became afraid of dolls like him, the ones that are as big as babies or toddlers with big glassy eyes. My aunt gave me a doll that look similar like Chucky in height and size and it can record your voice and play it over. It scared the daylights out of me, i kept it in the store room, never playing with it. Unfortunately, not many horror movies venture into dolls. God only knows why. Dead Silence is another good horror movies that involved puppets.
