I was unable to find a willing victim to go with me to the movies yesterday, so I didn't go to see Frontier(s) - that Horror Movie that I mentioned the other day. Side note: I am in fact, single. So if you like horror movies and don't mind mezzosoprano shrieking in your ears, I'm available! Please note, I cannot actually crack crystal with my voice. But I come close.
I just can't get over the scene in the trailer where they look like they are hobbling or cutting off someone's feet at the ankles. That freaked me out when I read it in Misery by Stephen King, and ever since I just really really don't like that image. *shudder*
Lionsgate was basically made on taking risks with films, and this one is a big one. Unrated, super gory, escape from evil, filled with horror. Is it going to be over the top? Will it become the next thing that people blame for everyday human atrocities? Or will it open the floodgates of supergore in theatres?
I guess I will have to wait for the DVD to see it for myself. As it turns out, the limited release is not coming to the Chicago area (I thought it was) which is too bad. If I were still in New York, I would have gone to the IFC to see it and grabbed some Columbia professor as my willing victim to see it with me. (You know who you are.) If I were in Boston, it would be that nice boy with the vampire pale skin - and he'd be a mass of bruises at the end, because I grab hard and he's frail. Not my fault.
Anyway, again, go check it out for yourself - Frontier(s) .
