Horror Films

The thrill of a horror film. The next generation getting gruesome from the previous. My first horror films started with Psycho and the Exorcist . Psycho is so twisted, and I find so disturbing. However, before there was a thrill to it. I shuttered at the side of my mother as we watched the movie. The movie deals with a man whose fate is to be with a mother who hurts him, abuses him as a child. The film holds a lot of sexual tension. Something of an element that horror films tend to have.

Then there's the Exorcist where it has a good vs. evil. The evil overtaking the good, where the good is the Catholic church. The Catholic church is portrayed as helpless. In fact, the devil has such a prowess that it fills with filth the soul of a child.

Now there are films like the Saw . It holds more than just a thrill. It holds the same elements just in a more grotesque way. It is more of a slaughterhouse than a horror film. I don't say lets not watch the film. It just holds a lot “slaughtering.”

There are films however, like the Shutter , that still hold the essence of horror, and do not show so strong to watch. I really recommend it.

Whatever your taste is, remember some horror films are stronger to see than others. Sometimes a little research is good, or go with a friend, family member, mate that will be there in case it is too much for your taste.
