Tobe Hooper The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

"A quiet weekend..." (beautiful) is similar because it follows the same patterns (the group of friends coming from the city, the perverse and wicked mountain folk, etc.); "The Hills Have Eyes" is another variation on the theme, where, however, the bumpkin mountain dwellers are replaced by a family of psychopathic cannibals; for me, it's one of Craven's best (for me, Scream 2 is crap).

a film that needs no comments

Brian Yuzna Society - The Horror

Yuzna has really fallen low lately; he set up a production house in Spain with which he produced two films that can only be described as disgusting (the trashy Rottweiler and The Nun; watch them just for a few laughs). Anyway, of his films, I would also save The Dentist and (of course) Reanimator.

John Carpenter In The Mouth of Madness - Il Seme Della Follia

I would place the film among Carpenter's lesser works; it's decent but not comparable to his masterpieces. If it had been made by some John Smith, it would be one thing, but this man has created brilliant films like They Live, The Fog, Halloween, and (above all) Prince of Darkness, which are of a completely different caliber. I find the review effective: it piques interest without too much fuss.

Goodness, I was writing it too! Anyway, Society is beautiful, it starts off like a banal '80s teen horror film, only to transform into an obscene and disgusting nightmare. But the film's strength lies not only in the horror evoked by certain incredibly "strong" scenes (the special effects are something phenomenal, without the aid of any damn computer graphics), but also in the power of the message contained within it (the monsters are the powerful at the top of society, who guide it and write its rules: judges, police officers, doctors, and professors are all part of the conspiracy). Extreme and brilliant, a classic!

I quite liked "The House in the Park" by Deodato, even though it’s very much inspired by Craven's film (and there's always the great David "sex maniac" Hess). I haven't seen Non Violentate Jennifer yet, but I'll make up for it.

The Last House on the Left is not a bad film in the "revenge movie" genre, but for me, Craven's masterpieces are "The Black House" and "The Serpent and the Rainbow."

"House of 1000 Corpses" by Rob Zombie is obviously a love letter to this film, but it’s still very different. There, at times, it flirts with the absurd; this, on the other hand, is serious stuff. Not that I don’t like it—in fact, I find it very entertaining how he plays with horror clichés (I enjoyed Devil's Rejects much more).

what does it mean that science fiction is low? Is "1984" low? Is "Fahrenheit 451" low? Is "Brave New World" low? Haven't you read them? They don't seem low to me, and yet they are science fiction.
