Last night, I found myself with the chance to actually watch Antichrist, one of the two films I mentioned last week here.

( cut for spoilers and very disturbing content... )

Two films, both made/produced/released this year. One, Antichrist, contains "strong real sex, bloody violence and self-mutilation" - specifically, female genital mutilation. The other, Grotesque, contains "unrelenting and escalating scenario of humiliation, brutality and sadism", including amputations and eye-gougings ( Read more... )

I just got finished watching The Mist, which is a film I'd wanted to see for some time now, and not just because it was an interesting horror film based on a Stephen King novella.

No, the reason I wanted to see it was because, in my second year of Film Studies at university, I had done an adaptation of The Mist for a script project (well, a scene ( Read more... )

Here's hoping everyone had a good Christmas/Giftmas/whatever you choose to call it.

So, I'm planning out my horror movie book again, with the intention of really doing something with it this time (really! I've got way too many half-written reviews and articles lying around the place and on the hard drive that I really need to do something with).

Behind the cut is what I've roughly got planned out so far...
