There’s no denying it, horror is one of the biggest and most popular movie genres there is.Just what is it that makes horror films so appealing?

People love to be scared and watching a horror movie is a great way to experience being scared in a safe environment.Then there’s the social aspect, watching a horror with friends, and laughing aloud when one of them jumps at a particular scene makes for an entertaining night out. Horror movies have entertained the masses for decades.The popularity of the horror movie just seems to get bigger every year.

I absolutely love horrors, flesh eating zombies,vampires even murdering psychopath’s it’s all good.But in my opinion, the horror movies coming out right now are just not as good as they used to be.

Let’s take the Saw series  for example, saw was a great horror movie. It was different from anything that had been done before and in many ways it broke the mould from your typical horror picture. It had it all gore,action,suspense and more than enough plot twists to keep any horror fan happy. Then they went and committed the cardinal sin of horror movies. They made a sequel, not just one sequel four sequels. So we are now on saw 5 and god help us saw 6 is on the way. 

I’m not saying that any of the saw sequels were particularly bad but by making so many they have taken away the originality that made the original Saw so good. Another problem I have with the so called modern horror  is that they rely way too much on gore and gross out tactics. Whatever happened to being scared without seeing a head chopped off?

The most noteable example of modern horror movies resorting to gore and gross out tactics is the Hostel series. Again i’m not saying that these were bad films (okay so hostel 2 was a bit bad) but they rely more on blood and guts than classic scares.

Thankfully not all modern horrors use these cheap tricks. Take for example Last House On The Left. While the film did have a few gory scenes one of which included a microwave and a head, the rest of the film is carried by  good old fashioned suspense. I wont spoil the movie but if you haven’t  seen it I highly recommend it.

Regardless of my opinion on current horror movies it’s obvious that this genre will continue to entertain us for many years to come.

No good movie is without a villain of some sort; the villain can be your typical bad guy, or he or she can simply be a miscreant, a low life; in some instances the villain takes the role of the evil doer or the harbinger of evil; in other cases, the villain is simply a jerk. Alongside their more heroic and dashing counterparts, villains carry the movie. Here are some of the wickedest and worst of the bunch. Catch these ne’er do wells in HD via satellite TV.

Jack Torrance: Jack Torrance, is of course the character so brilliantly portrayed by Jack Nicholson in the Kubrick movie The Shining. Who can forget the part where Jack, driven mad by isolation and far too much work, drives an axe through a bathroom door in an attempt to kill his wife, shouting, ‘here’s Jooohhhnnyy’? It really is a brilliant scene which drives chills down the back of your spine. Flip through your satellite TV channel guide to find out when this horror classic airs.

Gordon Gekko: Played so well by a younger Michael Douglas, Gordon Gekko is the lead in the movie Wall Street. With his slick and oily hair swept back in typical fat cat fashion, his suspenders and huge cell phone, Douglas made the perfect sleazy, greedy banker type.

Alex Forrest: Played to perfection by Glenn Close in the thriller Fatal Attraction, Forrest was the ultimate woman scorned. She was the height of crazy, mad. Close’s character, with her wild hair, and wicked ways-she boiled a bunny-is definitely someone you would never want to run into in real life. Catch this thriller in HD for best effect.

Michael Myers: Of course, we aren’t referring to the Canadian comedian, but rather to the knife wielding killer who has been terrorizing victims for years now in all the Halloween movies. Myers leaves a bloody trail in his wake, and you definitely would not want to run into him. There’s a serious scare factor here. You can probably get a good dose of Myers on satellite TV around Halloween time.

Hans Gruber: Even his name screams bad guy. Or actually, it sounds like an overweight German with a bad case of gout; but Gruber proves to be badder than his name would suggest. Played by the deliciously evil Alan Rickman, this Die Hard villain has all the right moves. He’s got that evil, yet civilized European accent and he wears a suit. Watch all the action in high definition.

Annie Wilkes: In an attempt to resurrect Misery, her all time favorite character, Annie, played by the great Kathy Bates, actually kidnaps the author of the Misery books, after he has an unfortunate accident. She holds him prisoner and proceeds to hobble him with a sledgehammer to prevent him from leaving. This woman is definitely batty and creepy.

Frank Booth: Blue Velvet is an odd movie, it’s by David lynch after all, but Frank Booth is a work in and of himself. Portrayed by Dennis Hopper, Booth goes on a nitrous-fueled assault of the lovely Isabella Rossellini. It’s disturbing, not to mention bizarre. You can probably catch this movie on your independent film channel on satellite TV.
