Last night talk turned to horror films. I love a really good horror film, the more intense and creepy, the better. I'll even put the shitty "Bang! Crash!" ones on in the background. The films I like the most, are those that have tone, and create their own space. The best horror films exist in a place that you are happy to immerse yourself into for a couple of hours, take the plunge, and come out the other end shaking your head, " whew..."
My absolute favorites are the ghost stories, where everything is implied. Ugetsu, The Haunting and a new film, A Field in England are great at this.
I know a horror film has got it right, when I'm glad I'm watching it in the day, and not late at night on my own...
