Before I go off on the horror film rant...a few things about myself...
I smoke, I drink...I do all the things a lady shouldn't do. Sometimes I wonder if I should have been born a man...but having breasts is pretty cool. I like writing, reading, watching films, sleeping....doing absolutley nothing. I can be annoying, I have days where I feel pretty...and days where I can't look in the mirror. I'm a scaredy cat dressed as a rebel. I like chocolate a little too much...and I've always wanted to be in America. I have passion and I like to be creative, and everyday I am inspired. I try to be the best I can be...but sometimes I just can't be bothered. I love all animals....and babies usually laugh at me. I'm just a special little (5ft 4 to be exact) individual, and some say I have potential.
The darkness, everything in the shadows, everything that is haunting, gut wrenching, and sadistic; appeals to me. I want blood, guts, gore, tortury and madness. Rather than watch a romantic comedy or drama (which I have no problem with, by the way), I'm happy to sit in front of a screen filled with violent, graphic images of death and dismemberment until my stomach turns...and even then, I keep watching. It gives me ideas, inspiration and a thirst for more. I fucking love horror.
Horror films have always been a big deal. People crave those 90 or so minutes of pure, stomach wrenching images. Because of course, we can sit back safe in the knowledge that we cannot be touched by whatever it is on screen. That is until the writers and directors so cleverly weave us into their plot...and were nervous because half an hour ago we were positive we were alone...now were not so sure. From the predictable to the complete mind fucks, these films give us passion....not to mention a strong urge to throw up or hide under the duvet. How many times have you tried to convince yourself "it's not real, it's just a movie". We question ourselves on what we would do in those situations...and make the fear even stronger and more irrational. I live for that feeling. It reminds me I'm still alive.
Making films is about making your own statement. Putting a stamp on something beautiful, something horrific, something that will put audiences on the edge of their seats, or make them sit back and contemplate. All aspects of all films appeal to me. Even if the film is shit, I will always take something from it, even if it is only "remind me never to crap out something as tragic as that".
I love most of the talent within the horror genre. Directors, actors, writers, producers, special effects artists...but the people that stand out the most are the one's who avoid mainstream bullshit. There is only so many times I can watch an anorexic teenager attempt to run away from a slow moving, overweight killer with an axe...and still get butchered. At least we have alot of classics in our collections...and that is what keeps us going. Long live horror.
Just want to thank a few peeps while I am here...
