The Last House on the Left but one 9:54pm on 09 Mar 2009 re: Tapping Eddie

I get where you are coming from and I found Martyrs extremely hard to stomach from that 20 or so minutes. However, I think that the ending totally saved it and in turn made me see such a brutal, uncompromising movie as also a beautiful one.

Saying that, I wouldn't hold it against anyone that didn't like the movie - which is in itself weird.

I can't wait to see what Laugier can do with Hellraiser actually. If anyone was going to remake it (as painful as that is) he might well be the guy!
The Last House on the Left but one 11:19am on 09 Mar 2009 Hey Mark,

I agree with you about these new flashier, slicker remakes that we are seeing nowadays. However there is a part of me that hold out some form of hope with The Last House on the Left - it may be that I only saw the original a few years ago not when it first came out (I am 27 by the way) I don't know.

[I posted the following last night in the comments for your last video but I think you might have missed it, so I hope you don't mind me asking again:]

Knowing that you are a horror film buff, I wondered if you'd had a chance to watch Pascal Laugier's Martyrs yet (maybe at Cannes)?

I watched it over the weekend and it totally blew my mind. While I can't say that I enjoyed it or necessarily liked it - I thought it was brilliant, terrifying, sad, horrific and beautiful at the same time.

I just wondered what your thoughts were as it seems to me that the french are riding a very healthy wave of quality horror movies at the moment.

How to understand foreign language movie awards 6:09pm on 23 Feb 2009 I think you highlighted the main problem there with the totally brilliant Let The Right One In.

As the movie is in effect "representing" its country at the Oscars, LTROI was never going to be chosen by Sweden as its entry due to its content.

That is definitely a huge drawback that the horror genre finds in this category year after year. Shame...
