Some of my favourite 2012 horror movies

Posted by Jen - December 28th, 2012

So – watched a shitload of horror movies this year – just like every year!

Started thinking about which ones I really liked and had to narrow the list down as there were so many – 2012 was a good year for horror.

These are the movies that really affected me for various reasons -  stories, visuals, gore, sound design etc.

Garrett Collins reviews Hike – “unrelentingly brutal”….. awesome!

Posted by Jen - December 8th, 2012

Check out Collin’s review at Adventure Amigos .

“A set the phasers to stun type film that, in it’s not even eight minutes of time, makes you squeamish and uncomfortable at the same time. Also, it makes me wonder with amazement what Ms. Campbell could do with a budget and necessary tools to further her story. ”

A favourite quote on the horror genre

Posted by Jen - November 8th, 2012

“Horror as a genre, when it’s done honestly, when it’s done with serious intent, will naturally be open to the traumas of the world in ways that other genres aren’t and can’t be. Somehow by being focused on what disturbs us, especially if it’s being done by somebody who’s sort of determined to search their own soul for what’s disturbing….then it will naturally convey truths – universal ones, or at least national ones.”

Adam Simon – writer/director of the documentary The American Nightmare.
