I like more ‘psychological’ horror movies. Anyone can splash the ketchup around and call it ‘art.’
Faves:
‘Psycho’ Alfred Hitchcock
‘The Ring’
(I know! I thought I would HATE IT, but my teens convinced me to watch it with them - probably because they NEEDED an adult in the room, LOL!)
‘Signs’
(And really anything from M. Knight Shamalamadingdong (I can never remember his name!)
‘Rear Window’ another Hitchcock classic (’Perry Mason’ disposing of a body?!?!)
‘Cape Fear’ OMG! Do NOT watch the original (Robert Mitchum) alone - and the re-make with De Niro? As much as I HATE that jerk, it is very - VERY - scary! My sister and I saw it on The Big Screen and we clutched one another and pretty much SCREAMED through the whole movie!
‘The Silence of the Lambs’ The book was scary enough - the movie was amazingly good! Ever notice that the actor that played Jame Gumb (the killer) never worked in film again?
‘Wait Until Dark’ Audrey Hepburn. She’s blind! A Bad Man is tormenting her because her husband bought her a doll overseas that was filled with the Bad Man’s Cocaine! If you can see this performed in live theater - GO! Now! Even if your local High School is doing it! The final scene will stay with you forever.
‘Blood Simple’ ANYTHING by the Coen Brothers gets high marks from me. :)
“Ever notice that the actor that played Jame Gumb (the killer) never worked in film again?”
He was Monk’s boss on the TV series.
Rear Window is a Fantastic movie where the mind runs and fills in the gaps of “missing” information for those peeking out their “Rear” Window
I loved Audrey Hepburn. She was not only beautiful, but she dressed so elegantly. She could wear anything. She was in a movie with Shirley MacLaine called "The Children's Hour" in 1961. James Garner was in it too. It's been described as Tragedy, Romance, Drama. Another of her movies that had me captivated was "The Nun's Story" from 1969. It was based on a real person. The movie moved me so much, I had to read the book by Kathryn Hulme, which was inspired by the experiences of her friend, Marie Louise Habets of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary, a Belgian nurse and an ex-nun whom she met while working with refugees in post-war Europe. The author sponsored the former nun's emigration to the United States, and later converted to Catholicism.
