Scary Movie Roll Call

Fur:  An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006):   
Okay, this is not a horror flick but I’m including it here anyway because of the fur factor. I was a little ick'ed out by the ridiculously hirsute Robert Downey Jr. but then seeing Nicole Kidman wear the fur jacket that was made from none other than his very own hair really grossed me out. One could argue that this was a very sweet and intimate gesture in that the fur jacket was symbolic of his undying love for her but I just couldn't make the leap.  Interestingly enough, Secretary was directed by the same guy.  Makes sense considering the fetish bent.

Cannibal Holocaust (1980): 
Disturbing exploitation film.  I felt dirty after watching this.  And not in a good way.  My one word review: Yikes. 

Them (2006):
No, not the film about giant ants although that’s pretty good too. This is a French horror film that is downright scary and has a really good twist at the end. I highly recommend this film.

Cabin Fever (2002):
Quirky and scary.  Not for the faint hearted.   And if you are familiar with who Topanga is/was then you'll recognize the leading actor in this film.


Trick ‘r Treat (2008):
This was okay.  Not as good as I had hoped but some neat twists here and there.  Certainly no Creepshow.

Next up:  Hell House.  A documentary about fundamentalist Christian "hell houses" that try to scare people into believing that they are damned to hell if they don't accept Christ as their savior.   It's totally reminiscent of Jesus Camp.

p.s.

I fixed the linkage issues for RDJ's fur-o-rama and the oh so lovely fur jacket.
