SO, I have been doing a lot of binge watching lately due to being sick and generally having a bit of a shit time.
I am a big horror fan, BUT, I think it is actually really hard to be a horror fan. Most horrors are shit.
I mean Paranormal Activity started out looking promising...then they gave it a story line. I know this sounds ridiculous but I hate that it had a story line. I mean, I think it would have just been so much scarier if they were just haunted. You know what I mean? Things are so much scarier when there is no explanation and stuff is just happening. Yeah, it was attached to her and that's fine, but could it not have just attached itself to her because it's an evil demon and can? It couldn't just pick her and that be that? Ugh, there was so much room for my imagination to run wild with that but the story line ruined it for me. Bad times.
I did watch The Possession Of Michael King the other day with my mate, he thought it was pretty scary, and it kinda was....until like 3/4 of the way in. I don't wanna ruin this for you so I won't, but once again, if I had just seen whatever happening and didn't hear it too, it would have been much scarier. I did think it was alright though.
Obviously this is just my opinion and I can scare the crap out of myself pretty easily if I want to, but horror films lack that for me. Once you clarify that there is a justified reason for these 'happenings' shall we say? then I lose all interest and you just ruined the whole movie for me, it's not longer scary.
I understand this doesn't work for everything. Like The Conjuring, watched it soooo many times and I think it's actually pretty decent but why couldn't it just be like 'Oh, this house has evil spirits in it'....etc, I don';t need to know why they're there or about curses just OMG THIS IS HAPPENING WHAAAAAAT??? Mad, how scary.
I don't know. I am in no way a film expert. I just think I would like to finish a film sometime still being scared and playing parts over and over in my head when I go to bed and thinking about what else could have happened?? You know?
Anyway.
All About Evil. Not a horror as such. Well yeah, I guess it kind of fits into Comedy Horror. I seriously LOVE this film. I obviously don't watch it to get scared but hey, Natasha Lyonne is in it (I ADORE her), and I just think it has a really cool old school feel about it! Even the colours and the setting have that old horror vibe.
I have also become addicted to Parks and Recreation. I mean addicted. I love it. It never fails to make me laugh. The Pawnee Zoo ep has to be my favourite so far!! I just love Amy Poehler so, so much. Aubrey Plaza is hiarious in it too, her character doesn't really do much in the first season but she gets so much better!!
Also loving Banged Up Abroad. This is my mates doing. He's been watching it again and now that it's on youtube it's always there so if I'm bored I'll shove one on. It makes me so angry though, because Everyone's like 'OMG it must be so horrible being locked up abroad and the prisons must be awful' but er....like 75% of the time, it's like, 'Well, maybe don't do shit you know is illegal??'. Snakes on a Plane. What an ep. I fumed through this whole episode and literally would punch this guy if I saw him. Unlikely, but I would.
Anything you've been loving lately???
