I would like to see the technology used to explore more period horror genre works, for example, E. A. Poe.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The horror genre is vast and full of brilliance. Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, Herman Melville, the book of Esther. I'll happily join that list.
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.
I'm always looking for films, but the horror scripts that I get tend to be very repetitive and often not that interesting.
I've read one too many thrillers that had really horrible technology in them.
The horror genre gets you in touch with our primal instincts as a people more than any other genre I can think of. It gives you this chance to sort of reflect on who we are and look at the sort of uglier side that we don't always look at, and have fun with that very thing.
Many great horror stories are period pieces and English actors have a facility for historic characters.
Thrillers have become all about technology and using technology. That seemed, to me, not so interesting.
The horror genre is important because it promotes experimentation in filmmaking.
Horror is so often a 'thinkless' genre, sort of considered popcorn movies, but you really put a lot of, not just heart and soul, but a lot of physical energy into it.
Horror does not interest me, and so I know little of its practicioners, old or current.
