Well certainly don't bother with Tokyo Drifter then, that's the same but more so and without the stylish black and white. Although in fairness it does look pretty good, for the first five minutes (before the singing I guess) I thought it was gonna be ace. Not so."Branded To Kill (as mention above)...had it half-watched for months and only dragged myself back to it seeing it mentioned here...read so many great things about it but...found it unwatchable...no wonder they sacked him!"
I wish I'd seen that, oh well. TCM is really good I reckon, dunno what it is that makes it stand out from other similar films but it's got that certain indefinable something for me. A real creepiness and a deranged quality that is hard to capture except possibly by luck."anyone watch History of Horror with Mark Gatiss (BBC4)? far from complete, but decent TV i thought. i'm hoping Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be a good as the clip featured. obviously i have a great deal of catching up to do. so what are the greatest horror films? is there anything better than Coffin Joe or Carnival of Souls?"
As for "better" horror, I guess it depends on what you mean. I think that the film that scared me most - at least since I reached what is laughably called adulthood - was Blair Witch but there are other films that are probably better and fall into the horror category eg Onibaba. I've never seen that adaptation of A Turn of the Screw but it's supposed to be very good - the name escapes me though.
