So wonderfully over the top you don't know whether to laugh or shriek.<br /><br />I would also throw "Poltergeist" and "Carrie" on the list because they both do a great job of expressing the horror potential of mundane events like proms or places like a modern American suburb.Jim Marquishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192637469594429978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-79804057554500157252010-10-13T03:27:46.510-04:002010-10-13T03:27:46.510-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-16923032318727381132010-10-12T17:42:35.356-04:002010-10-12T17:42:35.356-04:00Yeah, I hope that you enjoy it.

There are indeed several Lynch movies that would probably make the cut, and much more Kubrick too ... I had never heard of "Dead Alive," but with your recommendation, it's going into my Netflix queue ..

As with you though, horror can, and needs to be, broken into sub-genres: fun, frightful, and immobilizing. One I just got around to watching, that fits into the fun / Evil Dead category is called Dead Alive which ends with the main character wielding a push lawn mower to fight off zombies in what is easily the goriest fifteen minutes ever put on film. Great flick though. <br /><br />There's a part of me that wants to add another section to the list and call it horror just beneath the surface. I would throw in any Lynch film, as well as any Harmony Korine and some Kubrick. Just this idea that every day, mundane things and people can be so grotesque that they need to be filed under horror. Gaspar Noe would certainly fit into that. To say that sitting through "Irreversible" took a strong stomach was putting it lightly. The scene in the rectum is as unsettling as any horror movie ever will be.M. Deannoreply@blogger.com
