I had to de-spam two of yours, Brian. And that number 19. above us was flagged for some reason...I guess because it said oral sex. How dirty. If you ever leave a comment and it doesn't appear right away and you really care about it being timely, just shoot me an email and say check the spam filter. I only do it from time to time because normally it works without a hitch. This is a small blog, but Akismet has blocked over 32,000 comments... so, yeah, glad its there even if its robo-no-heart can't make its mind up sometimes.

Sayer Tue, 20 May 2008 21:20:42 +0000 http://horrorsnotdead.com/wpress/?p=550#comment-14332 I don't think that's PEEPING TOM (the grandmother of Slashers - if PSYCHO is the grandaddy, that is). I don't remember him killing anybody with a tripod in that one. Of course, it's been years since I've seen it. Come to think of it, the only movie I remember seeing a tripod-impalement in is HALLOWEEN: RESSURECTION.... you know, that movie that was never made as far as I'm concerned. holy shit, i'm capitalizing. better knock it off before i blow my rep (that's blow - as in ruin - my repUTATION, not give oral sex to a state repRESENTATIVE).

I think it is a highly under-seen and undervalued film, yet is leaps ahead of the likes of CLOVERFIELD, DIARY and co in using the POV style as a method of comment, not just presentation.

And, once again, horror movies lets me down hard. Gutterballs was worse than the worst scifi film ever made. Apparently now people who make these movies rate and comment about the movie favorably on IMDB so people are suckered into seeing it, which is so low. (Even though I knew it was going to suck.) I also saw something about one where the murderer records himself with the camera? It throws back to that old film (the name of which I've forgotten)where the murderer records the deaths of his victims while impaling them with the camera stand, but it's all POV. I'd much rather see a POV that was like yours. :P Ah, good.
