Horror Lately

Just lately I watched Guillermo del Turo's 'The Orphanage.' I love his movies. They always seem to be a little misgenred though. If you haven't seen Devil's Backbone, its one of the best movies I've ever seen and you should pick it up when you get time. Anyway - its scary in parts but its got a full palete of the other genres attached to it - same with Pan's labyrinth. These movies that he's been putting out, for me, seem to be stretching the bounds of what I consider horror movies. Now I'm del Turo spoiled and refuse to put up with one-dimensional horror flicks!

Psycho guy chases blonde girl for 80 minutes no more!

I also watched Alien II lately. That is probably one of the best horror sequels out. I honestly can't think of anything close. They should redo the third to have the alien meeting with the pope so that he can legitimize the family business through casinos but his ways of the past keep pulling him back in and he goes back to wreaking havoc on passer-by ships, drooling - always drooling.

Anyway - I was about 1/2 way through a no-budget flick called 'Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.' Yes, it really does exist. I haven't had the nerve to finish it yet. I can't say its great - its got some funny parts - but I think Jesus would be angry if I gave it a recommendation. Btw - no really - its a real movie.
