Love. Sex.Violence.Horror.

We get enough violence on the news, think the cinema does love best to honest

I have a soft spot for horror movies, don't ask me why. But I prefer the kind where the violence is more implied, you know something has happened but you don't see it. It leaves it up to your imagination to try to piece together what happened. Like in The Silence of the Lambs you know Hannibal Lecter eats people, but you never really see it happen. That's where they went wrong in Hannibal, too much gore shown for shock value. It seems everyone is trying to top the Saw films lately with how much violence and torture they can cram into a 90 minute movie.

I like horror movies, so long as they have a really good story, I don't like gore for the sake of gore. If it's a slasher with a good story like "The Funhouse", I can watch it over and over many times.

And yet at the same time the first Alien film was the harshest, most graphic of the four. Yes, the monster(s) were more visible in the sequels - largely a budgetary concern - but none of them dared show the "skull-smashing" sequence in the same detail as Scott's original. It's interesting that that was the one area the later films steered clear of; the famous "chest-bursting" scene was repeated ad nauseum, but the sight of the alien's extendable jaw crunching through a human brain seems to have been a step too far.

Alien. I liked the one with Charles Dance. Forget about all of the techical stuff of the film, he caught my eye and was a great bit of crumpet. And although there wasn't much of the sex bit shown, the suggestion was there for me. Mmmm..
Sex in films is okay, but it can become yucky if too much. Horror, well that is so overplayed that it bores the hell out of me. Subtle is what I like.

I love horror with a good story hate this trend to end them on a really down every one dies thing. Good creepy films thrillers, I do like a bit of sci fi and monsters. Hate the films like Hostel which is just nasty for nastys sake. Bit of sex is ok so long as non violent. We all have our likes and dislikes. I can watch zombie films all day because there no where near reality but if animals get hurt in films then I avoid watching them. xxxxxx

I still get uneasy if I should be watching "The Fly", the one scene where Dandelo is placed in that glass cage and transported to another glass cage and she disappears into nothingness (I know it's a movie but that meow out of nowhere is so haunting, makes me want to cry).

But we don't have that video even though I know it's a classic sci-fi film
