Wow...I definitley have to say that this group is springing back from the necrosis it had been languishing in for a spell, a fact due entirely to my sluggishness. As I told (warned?) Mr. Gor however, I am creeping back into the wickedness of the gore film and horror in general, so we'll see what happens as time goes on.
As for the latest post, I will stand by any claim that Takashi Miike is an extremely perverted, twisted, demented and sick-minded psychotic individual with the perfect eye for disturbing and revolting imagery and sobering, hard-hitting ideas. That, for me, is where the deepest horror comes from - the mind. If horror didn't traffic in the "the killer is never, ever, ever really dead" schtick, we could say that you can conceivably outrun a killer with a knife. But if someone gets in your head (Phone Booth, The Cell, Captivity, etc.) you have to face it and fight the battle or risk losing your mind and possibly your life.
Psychological, for my money, is the greatest kind of horror since once it starts, it can't stop until it's either beaten or succumbed to.
