I guess I won't have much substance in this post...I just wanted to comment on a coincidence. In the last two days, each day I have watched a movie that has a horror-sounding title that wasn't really horror. They both came in the mail from Blockbuster.com. Now, I'm not some idiot who was renting movies based on the titles. I knew what types of movies they were when I put them in the queue. It's just an odd coincidence that these titles came to me at the same time with such horror-sounding names when they really aren't horror movies.
The first is "There Will Be Blood." Yes, of course I know this isn't horror. It won 2 Oscars, and the book was called "Oil!" But still, you have to admit that this would make a decent horror film name. Awesome movie, BTW.
The second was "Deathdream." I really have no idea how this got in my queue. I don't know if this was one of those "If you like...then try" type deals, or what. Maybe Noah_Ichiban recommended it? I doubt it. I read the plot summary before I watched it, so I at least had an idea. It's a 70's suspense film. I would say it's almost horror...but not quite. It has a few gory scenes- like a slit throat, a guy getting stabbed (although you only see blood splatter), and a guy getting run over...but that's about it. Honestly, I had to fast forward through most of it. It was too slow for me.
So, I suppose next I should rent "I'm an evil killer man and I'm going to kill you with as much blood and gore as possible." It's probably a musical.
