1960 movie that paved the way for Psycho. It was so realistic and horrifying, they blacklisted Mike Powell for making it and was in the can until Scorsese backed it's premire in 1979.

It's about a DP who films/kills women during his off hours. It focuses more on how a psychotic like Mark Lewis could excist and why he does the things he does.

For the life of me I'll never understand how anyone finds the execrable "Saw" movies scary or entertaining. Especially given that the first one contain's Leigh "I act even worse than I write" Whannell's stupefyingly awful performance.

Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

What really punched people's buttons is that the killings are all shown from the killer's POV and Powell was a skilled enough film maker to make the murders exciting and entertaining -- which freaked audiences out because they'd then say to themselves, "Wait a minute -- I'm not supposed to enjoy this!"

I don't know, I really rarely find any modern horror films scary. It's not horror anymore, it's gore. Sorry, just throwing red food coloring at the camera does not make a movie scary.

It's scary if you remain frightened after the movie is over, if you go home and have nightmares for days or weeks on end, if it's something you can relate to and continue to be terrified by the movie long after it's done.

Unfortunately, we far too often get stupid monsters, ridiculous axe murderers, really, REALLY stupid "heroes" (aka fodder) and gore for the sake of gore.
