US YOUR GENRE TOP 10 OF 2008 HERE
And its the end of the year and to be honest, I can’t say
I’m eleated. 2008 in horror for me was pretty damn weak. Movies that I loved
made no money (like DOOMSDAY), the PG 13 stuff was meh in quality but raked in
the dough (PROM NIGHT anyone?) while the remake craze got so out of hand that I
now officially feel like I’m going around in circles, being subjected to films
that I’ve already seen over and over again.
Now I am aware that some of the new
generation of gore fiends aren’t affected by what I stated above much, cause its
all new to them. But for guys like me, its pretty f*cking bleak. I mean what I
am in for next year? Lets see, remakes of: HELLRAISER, HALLOWEEN 2, STEPFATHER,
THE BIRDS, PIRANHA, FRIDAY THE 13TH, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, LAST HOUSE ON THE
LEFT and the list goes on. Now of course some of these films might wind up being
badass good but at the same time I be craving original material like a son of a
bitch looking for twat at a Chippendales show.
On the upside this year’s foreign filmmakers have
THANKFULLY been supplying the originality, gapping to some degree the void
Hollywood created in my dead beat heart. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, TIME CRIMES,
MARTYRS and THE SUBSTITUTE were all fine films and them tagged with indies
like SPLINTER and low key Studio chillers like THE STRANGERS and THE RUINS
helped wash down the recycling frenzy..
Now 2009 promises some original American horror that
I’m looking forward to. Films like UNBORN, AVATAR, the forever delayed CASE
39, ORPHAN and WHITEOUT. And being that the we’re in a recession and that
yes it has affected the film industry gangbusters, the middle budget films
are being nixed out – so all we’ll be left with is big studio movies and
indie pictures. Hopefully the latter will provide more ass kickers than
monkey cachou suckers for us to dig in. So that’s it. I’m done
rambling! Here are the 10 FILMS that rocked my cock out of its pants in
2008! Agree, disagree, no matter, opinions are like psychotic exes, we all
have em!
