Sorry for the DP, but I didn't talk about the gore stuff. Speaking as a reformed gorehound, yes, some films are all about the gore and not a lot else. But so few of these are mainstream it hardly matters. I feel that a horror film should be an all round experience, visual, visceral and mentally challenging. Again, there are so few of these films it hardly matters, so I am always happy to have each box ticked by seperate films.
I have had a bit of a gore 'renaissance' over the weekend with the purchase of a limited edition DVD of the infamous Italian movie Cannibal Ferox. Haven't seen it for many years, so perhaps my viewpoint of 'gore is good' will change on a new viewing. I will post up a review when I have seen it. Also got a Land of the Dead review coming up!
