“I love these bourgeois lemmings weaned on swill like The Exorcist, Alien, Jaws, The Omen, Poltergeist, The Silence of the Lambs, and other such Hollywood swill. They love to talk about u0026quot;storytellingu0026quot; and movies where you u0026quot;care about the characters,u0026quot; as if that were the only one way of making a legitimate horror film (and letu0026#39;s face it: the u0026quot;characterizationsu0026quot; in these films are often laughable in their pretensions and shallowness). Hereu0026#39;s a bit of news for those who havenu0026#39;t figured it out yet: thereu0026#39;s no such thing as u0026quot;gore for goreu0026#39;s sake.u0026quot; Thereu0026#39;s only apologetic gore and unapologetic gore. Ishii was a terrific filmmaker. You people need to expand your horizons beyond Stephen King. (A great writer, by the way.)”
