The very first English horror movie I remember is Evil dead and the absolute hype surrounding it. There were stories of people dying of heart attacks after watching that movie. We borrowed a deck player to watch the movie. I don’t remember much but I remember a girl pulled by the vines and someone’s feet with cracks on the sole. What is your first horror movie that you remember?
Candyman. Saw it as a kid, and frickin loved it. I think I compared any horror to it afterwards without realising. Funnily enough as an adult I still love it.
Philip glass score and the urban, racial, lower class angle certainly help a lot.
Saw the recent sequel and liked it too.
