I’ll go with horror classics, The Exorcist. I think the problem is that movie is way too old for me to have been able to appreciate it fully. Or so I thought…as far as horror goes, I’ve always watched it, and I’ve always watched all kinds, from black and white stuff to modern horror. I’ve always liked the older stuff even if it isn’t from my time. So, what can I say?
I recognize that The Exorcist is a good movie. It is well done and everything. But personally to me, it was just a big yawn fest. Perhaps I was expecting TOO MUCH since I was told it was all classicy. (back then I was in my 70’s horror phase as well, which is some of the goriest and most outrageous horror you’ll see to this day) Plus they took out a bunch of scenes, which I’ve seen later, on YT. So I pick that. It didn’t do it for me at all. Although it has to be said, horror about demonic possessions and the like are in my least favorite. :/ It seems very hard for me to take it seriously, I much prefer psychotic murderers, zombies and other monsters.
Still though, it does warrant another viewing; I was 14 when I saw that, it was a long time ago, it deserves another chance.
Oh but Tubular Bells is awesome.
