I do enjoy a very wide variety of films, but Horror is my favourite. It started with the Universal Monsters, then on to Hammer, Amicus, Tigon, etc. Eventually into the Slasher, Gore fest movies. I still watch most of the new one's, but there is no Exploitation movies now-a-days that try to push into new area's. Maybe it's all been done.... Most modern Horror films try to cater to young Teenagers, mostly girls. There's a few good exceptions that don't, like House of a 1000 corpses. Most other stuff is re-makes. Some are reasonable enough. Most of the time I waste my money as Great Horror films are few and far between. Such a shame, but I'm thankful for what we have from the past. Ever since Mary Philbin pulled that mask from Lon Chaney's face, the Cinema going public was hooked on Horror.

By the way Scorpio, I'm from the North too. Just this side of Middlesbrough. Must be a thing about Horror and Northern Monkeys....

I wouldn't call Memories of Murder a horror film. Sure it has some suspenseful scenes, but it's more of a police procedural (and an examination of how the two policemen on the case change their points of view during the course of their investigation) than a horror film. The Chaser has more of an 'horrific' feel to it than Memories of Murder.

I don't like gory horror, but I do like the 1930's Universal classics. (Another Northerner here probably rebelling against all those grey skies when growing up!).

fair comment, but i see thrillers as a strong sister to horrors..........
