I must admit I am disappointed by the standards of horror movies. I mean their obviously aimed at a male (or possibly lesbian) audience, otherwise, like she points out very well on scream, the main victims wouldn't always be extremely big breasted girls running down the street who always seem to loose track of their clothes or get murdered in the shower. Horror films are also very predictable that's why my favorite movies are saw and hostel. They don't follow the normal pattern and are something entirely new and unpredictable. Yes I admit the first part of hostel is more of a porn film than a horror but the story itself is actually spine tingling and disturbing. It shakes me up so badly yet I can't help but look forward to seeing the next ones.

Saw is something entirely new and I admit I think it's worrying that a human being came up with these ideas but it's new and (as far as I'm aware) it's never been done before. Most sequels ruin films but these ones keep getting better and better. Now Jigsaw is still messing with people and their minds from beyond the grave. I don't know what happens as I haven't had chance to see it yet but I can't wait to, even though it the ideas they come up with make me feel sick. What makes it even better is Jigsaw actually has a reason for doing what he is doing, its not just a random psycho with a troubled childhood killing person after person in the exact same way and the people always somehow find a way to kill the dead guy again but, shock horror, it hasn't worked! So they bring out a sequel where exactly the same thing happens with another group of teenage girls running down the street naked before getting stabbed in the stomach or thrown into a tree. I just love the fact that these aren't just normal horror films.
Hostel is based on real life and I know that is sick but it's a good idea. I also must say that it has one of the sexiest scenes I've ever witnessed in a film. The second hostel where the woman is lying naked in a bath whilst she is drenching herself in her victim's blood. I know that contradicts what I have just said but it's a brilliant idea and it actually has truth and meaning behind it. People who are bored with just sex as it's always the same have moved on to something a little more extreme. This happens in real life, which is what shook me up the most. I am not however scared that someone like Freddy Kruger is going to chase me down the street as I may be Blond, but I do not have big breasts, cannot scream that loud and do not live on elm street.
People only see those films so they can say they can. I see an advert for a horror film and I sigh. If someone says they want to see it I ask them if they'd like me to tell them what happens in it as I can always tell because it's always the same. Every thing's normal, bad guy comes, kills a few people, they find a way to kill him, try to take him out, fail, try again and just as everything is at its worst, it works and the bad guy is gone but the film will always end with something to suggest the bad guy is not gone for good. There is a reason for this; he's already dead! These people seem to think they can kill a dead person! Seems a bit stupid really. Dead people are dead, they, therefore, cannot be killed again. But oh well. As long as their not being killed again, box offices all over the world are making money. That's all that counts really because that's all the filmmakers really care about at the end of the day.
