The one part of the SAW film where there was the vat of needles really was disturbing and it's what turned me off and made me realize I can't get through those films. Watching someone decapitate someone isn't good either. In the ER we get patients AFTER the injury so we don't actually see it taking place. Thank GOD. I came upon an accident once where the truck had rolled over on a mans head and it was traumatizing. So I haven't been completely desensitized. <br />Thanks for commenting.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-83164107991045248322011-11-18T14:02:41.258-08:002011-11-18T14:02:41.258-08:00Great Review! Now...I want to hear your opinions ...Great Review! Now...I want to hear your opinions on "Maniac!" I found it interesting how you said that gore didn't bother you that much since you were desensitized in an ER. But you still don't like horror movies. Is there some kind of disconnect between what you consider merely gore and genuine horror?Nathanael Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667245328396233986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-51059390656033572332011-11-02T20:19:19.300-07:002011-11-02T20:19:19.300-07:00Rubi,

That means a lot coming from the girl who writes such beautiful posts.<br />I haven't seen Repulsion but I'll go check out John's post as well as comment on your Wicker Man post. I watched The Ghost Writer last year which is Polanski's last film. It was great and looked very Hitchcock-esque.<br /><br />Sadly, I've never been able to get through Halloween. It's too scary like the other slasher series Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday the 13th. Now the Scream films are so awful and the acting so bad I can watch those.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your Halloween experience.<br /><br />@Rich,<br />It sounds like you got your scary on too! Ha Ha<br />I'm surprised that you and Dorian have seen Henry. I had never heard of it before last week. I doubt that I'll ever watch it again but who knows. At least nobody is yelling at me for liking it.<br />Thanks for commenting.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-22136415622782043512011-11-02T10:38:16.138-07:002011-11-02T10:38:16.138-07:00I took an international approach this year, watchi...I took an international approach this year, watching a bunch of horror films from around the world - some I liked, some I didn't - and topped it off with a post about 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show,' which isn't really all that scary even though 'horror' is in the title.<br /><br />I think I saw 'Henry' once back when I was working video retail, and no, it's not the kind of movie one would want to watch again and again.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-41697830143982348802011-11-01T13:55:56.338-07:002011-11-01T13:55:56.338-07:00Page, while I adore your funny snarky pictorials, ...Page, while I adore your funny snarky pictorials, I enjoyed seeing you spread your wings and covering a serious film -- and few films are scarier and more bone-chilling than HENRY, PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER! It's a great film, but definitely not one I'd watch over and over. Other truly unnervingly frightening films I saw for Halloween this past weekend were:<br /><br />1.) Roman Polanski's REPULSION over at John Greco's Twenty-Four Frames. Here's a link to my comment, too, if you're interested:<br /><br />http://twentyfourframes.wordpress.com/2011/04/08/repulsion-1965-roman-polanski-2/#comment-5816<br /><br />2.) Robin Hardy's THE WICKER MAN, with a sly screenplay by Anthony Shaffer of SLEUTH fame, among others. It so happens we of Team Bartilucci wrote a blog post about it over at TALES OF THE EASILY DISTRACTED! :-) Here's the link:<br /><br />http://doriantb.blogspot.com/2011/10/wicker-man-man-of-wicker-feet-of-clay.html<br /><br />3.) The original HALLOWEEN, which my dear late mom and I saw in a 1978 sneak preview in Yonkers, NY (it was a short drive from the Bronx, where we lived at the time). It was a double-feature for us, since the main attraction before the sneak preview was WHO IS KILLING THE GREAT CHEFS OF EUROPE? The poster looked a little scary, but not horrifically so -- until we sat down, and it was terror and suspense all the way! Mom and I were shrieking and hanging onto each other for dear life. It was awesome! :-) Need I say HALLOWEEN quickly became a family favorite? One of my high school classmates and I even ended up taking turns breathlessly describing the film in detail -- and this was in our Catholic high school, mind you! I guess we didn't spoil the surprises too much, because all our classmates went to see HALLOWEEN that weekend, and they came in burbling about it, too! :-)<br /><br />Sorry to blather away, Page, but kudos to your awesome blog post, and thanks for letting us share our favorites with you!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.com
