Seriously Scary Movie

Okay, so Cam and I watched one of the scariest movies EVER the other night. At least, I would put it in the Top 5 Scariest Movies Ever.

Here is the link to it in case you want to check it out- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435625/

The basic premise is this: a group of British women go spelunking in Appalachia and they get more than just an adventure.

The reason I love this movie is that it has all the elements of a great horror film. Most horror films only have 1 or 2 of these...but this film as all 5 things to make a great horror film. (In case you are wondering, the five things are as follows):

1. STARTLING MOMENTS. (These aren't what makes a great horror film..but they are definetely necessary. Sometimes we just need to get so scared that we scream or jump. It's good for us)


2. GOOD GORE (I know you don't like this, Mom. But it's necessary)

3. PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS (This is what I really love about horror films. I like the type of horror that makes you go "Oh my God I can't believe this....what would I DO in this situation?" The movie "Deep Water" was a great example of this- you're stranded in the ocean and you know that no one is coming to get you. What do you do? What does this do to your psyche? I cannot watch a horror film without some mind games and pyscho-analysis. Something that I love about this movie is that it is shot to make you feel like you are really there. Cameron HATED this about the film, but I loved it. I loved it that I felt like I was in a cave and I couldn't see what was going on around me. It really added to the scariness)

4. A GOOD VILLIAN/MONSTER (It can't be stupid like Freddy or Jason or JEEPERS CREEPERS. It has to be cool, original, and a little believable. The villian/monster in this film is awesome)

5. A GREAT ENDING (I hate stupid endings)



SOOOOOO...this movie is worth seeing. Check it out.
