Obligatory Movie List


Every site, big or small, pertaining to movies in some way has one of these. Lists are easy to make and even easier to read. So, just to get it out of the way, I'll be listing three favorite horror films (out of a much larger number and in no particular order) and three films I want to see for some reason or another. These should be getting more in-depth entries later. Consider this as a preview.

Personal hits

Peeping Tom(1960): This ended director Michael Powell's career. It's about a murder who uses a sharpen tripod stand to kill his victims and record their final reactions. The film was panned on its release due to its unsettling subject matter. Now, however, it's highly regarded and rightfully so.

Dead Alive(1992): Again? Yeah, I know I can't shut up about it. You know the gist. Digestive tracts strangling the living, zombie intercourse, possibly the bloodiest movie ever if you're going by volume.

Mad Love(1935): Well, here's where my name and avatar are explained. Dr. Gogol is infatuated with an actress; too bad she's married. Lucky for Gogol, her hubby has his hands crushed. The husband asks Gogol to operate on them. What he does is just ingenious. He replaces the husband's hands with the hands of a knife thrower. Logically, this makes the husband able to throw anything at any target. It's all a part of Gogol's scheme to be with the woman by gradually eliminating her husband, making him go mad. How great is that?

Future hits
The Descent(2005): Sorry tsinoisulli, this is only one of the few recent horror films that interests me. It actually has some good reviews, unlike Saw and Hostel. I'm not saying that I only watch what critics agree on, but positive reviews can't hurt, right?

The Host(2006): The other new film to watch, this was a hit in Korea. Also, I'm a sucker for monsters. I'm on Bogleech every other day for discussion about fictional creatures and real world animals.

Eyes Without a Face(1960): It sounds similar to Mad Love but, from reading numerous summaries, is actually much more serious. Some of the stills look amazing.
