Thumbs up for mentioning some good flicks that are so obscure that I forgot that I saw them. But I’ve got a beef with this list:
I know I’m against horror movie dogma when I say that I don’t think The Exorcist deserves the number one spot in a list of greatest horror movies. How do you like that? I think the Exorcist was good, but light years from a great horror flick. I don’t care about how “revolutionary” it was when it came out, etc, etc. I don’t know why, but I find nothing frightening about a restrained little girl shouting obcinities. Arousing maybe, frightening never….(I’m kidding assholes) But frankly I am sick of lists like this that cop out and name the same movies as every similar list out there.
What’s that you say? Who do I think the greatest horror movie was? Think you’re going to catch me with my pants down? HA! I’ll have you know that whenever I’m sitting at my computer, my pants are not only down, but completely off!
Anyhow my answer is The Thing (1982). OK, this is easily the finest production that John Carpenter ever made. This movie was a horror suspense thriller of a movie and boasted great acting, great cinematography, and the stop action special effects are of a caliber that I have never seen equaled. Even against today’s seamless computer effects, the stop action photography not only still competes, it actually supersedes most of the best stuff produced today.
There is allot in this movie that is so disturbing, I think it must trigger some kind of genetic memory of terror, because even after seeing it a half dozen times, certain scenes still fill me with dread. Yet it is strangely watchable. Unlike most films with this level of creep factor that just make you want to turn off the DVD player; there are enough elements of this story that keep you watching… UNABLE TO TURN IT OFF and therefore seat-belted in and unable to bail out.
Plus, where else are you going to see a Wilford Brimley sans mustache?
