Linkage

Great article about the recent spat of horror splatterings on our screens. While I think the man is clearly overdoing this theories on movies such as Final Destination 3 the assessment of films like Wolf Creek and The Hills of Eyes (i have seen WC and have seen the original Hills) is spot on, and the quotes by Wes Craven (aka, Horror's reigning King) are so true.

It reminds me of when Roger Ebert lambasted The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 saying it was "ugly, vile and reprehensible" or whatever. But didn't seem to realise that's exactly what the filmmakers were going go. Some people just don't get it. And that Ebert said he wanted to walk outside in the sun and eat an apple meant the filmmakers had done their job. You're living in a crazy world right now, but it could be so much worse.
