The horror. The horror...

I love Halloween, and so, here are TWO movies that I find to be freakin' terrifying.


AUDITION

Where do I begin? This is unbelievably disturbing, and very good quality cinema. Written and Directed by Takashi Miike, this is totally over the top and genuinely horrifying. You shouldn't see this alone. Perhaps you shouldn't even see this. Intrigued? God help you.

AND, my favorite horror movie of all time,

The Exorcist III: Legion

Superb acting from George C. Scott (Patton, 12 Angry Men), and Brad Dourif (LOTR's Wormtongue and Deadwood's Doc Cochran). Very artful direction from William Peter Blatty, who is the original author of The Exorcist. Cameo by Patrick Ewing as The Angel Of Death.
The film picks up 15 years from where the original 1973 Exorcist film left off, discounting the events of the first 1977 sequel entirely. Awesome awesome awesome. I watch this all the time, it's like manna to me.


Happy Halloween, all.
