OK, so, if you're squeemish, skip this one. Seriously. Don't watch this if you aren't a hardcore lover of gory horror films. In class a couple of weeks back the question was brought up about whether or not horror movies are more gruesome now than in the past, and I pointed out that in the 80s there was, in many case, far MORE gore than what we see in many newer films. So, I decided to post, just for the hell of it, this scene from Peter Jackson's (yes, the LOTR director) first film. It is known in the United Stated as "Dead/Alive". It has some other title in Australia that I can't remember now. Anyway, IF you can handle it, ENJOY!
Eek! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteHence why it surprised me to here you say that you saw this when you were little!
ReplyDeletethis is more gross than scary. maybe it's the way Peter Jackson intended it
ReplyDeletewhy are some people so fascinated with zombies? just wondering
I don't know why, exactly, people are fascinated with zombies. I think, perhaps, it may be because they can be representative of so many other things: good vs. evil, the consequences of immortality, racism, classism, etc. Also, there just something terrifying about having some creature that is trying to kill you and can also turn you into a creature yourself, but can only be stopped/killed in one, very specific way and no other.
