But I think we are seeing a resurgence of the graphic ghost story like The Others, Devil's Backbone and The Sixth Sense. It is a return to more gothic atmospheric ghost storytelling.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always been a pretty big fan of ghost stories.
What I've absorbed of the gothic or paranormal has come mainly from films.
Any time a new horror film comes out that looks appealing, I'm always excited to go see it.
I think of setting as almost a character of its own, influencing the other characters in ways they're not even aware of. So much of the success of a good ghost story rides on creating a creepy atmosphere; details of the landscape itself can help create a sense of dread.
I've always been into the horror genre, so I've seen a lot of movies with ghosts and supernatural stuff.
Still one of my favorite movies is the original 'The Haunting.' I love that style.
I'm not interested in gothic storytelling or the horrific for its own sake. I'm always interested in it as a way of getting at larger ideas or important meaning. And you don't see that as much as you'd think in the history of horror cinema. A lot of times, it's scariness for scariness' own sake.
I'm not much of a horror fan. When it comes to ghost stuff and demon stuff, I can't watch that.
I think there is a feeling of old Hitchcock in there. There are parts that are tributes to some of the old great horror movies and the old great filmmakers.
The comic edge of 'Ghostbusters' will always be the same. It's still treating the supernatural with a totally mundane sensibility.
