when i was little we used to have family film night on fridays. there was no way my dad was going to watch kids films, so he'd just pop the the vhs rental down the road and get whatever he wanted. he likes horror films so that meant that i'd been bought up with a steady diet of slasher films since the age of 6 or 7 (something i could always boast about at school). none of the hyper violent films ever scared me, but strangely enough nicole kidman's ghosty period-drama 'the others' frightened me very literally to tears.
i suddenly remembered that film now listening to this. the piano sample looping in the way it does, sounds inhuman as though the piano was playing itself. there's a scene in the film where the piano does just that.
