I mean, horror films in general put humans in these awful supernatural or horrible situations, but 'Cabin In The Woods' cranks it up a few notches and becomes outrageous and totally bizarre.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always been into the horror genre, so I've seen a lot of movies with ghosts and supernatural stuff.
I thought 'Cabin in the Woods' was really incredible.
I think there's an instinct to make grotesque horror films that are purely carnal, like the 'Saw' movies.
Horror movies don't exist unless you go and see them, and people always will.
Horror movies can be very interesting because they can deal with intangible subjects that are full of emotion.
I think the hardest part about making a scary film is about being able to retain the mystery, especially when it comes to supernatural stuff.
Psychological horror I've always appreciated, like 'Rosemary's Baby.' The slasher movies and the grotesque movies are the ones that I've really been off for a while.
What I see as the particularly exciting prospect for writing horror fiction as we go forward is setting stories in more internal landscapes than external ones, mapping out the mind as the home for scary things instead of the house at the end of the lane or lakeside campground or abandoned amusement park.
To me, the scariest movie ever made to this day is 'The Exorcist.' It still scares the living hell out of me, and it's because of the fantasy element. It's the exorcism. It's the Devil. It's not a guy breaking into your house trying to torture you or cut your whatever off. Those kinds of movies don't do it for me, and I don't call them horror.
Horror movies have never been my thing. I love psychological thrillers like 'The Exorcist', 'The Shining', even though they scare the living daylights out of me.
