Video game icon, but I reckon it's close enough...

DIARY OF THE DEAD! DIARY OF THE DEAD! DIARY OF THE DEAD!

:D

Also, the Engineer and I watched Frontier(s) Sunday night and OMFG YA'LL. FRENCH HORROR MOVIES FOR THE ULTIMATE WIN.

A specific scene in it, which seemed to go on for forever and a day, totally gave me a panic attack. I had to get up and walk around the apartment, flapping my hands, to shake it off. That's only happened once before, when I watched The Descent.

Seriously.

Now why is a panic attack a desirable result? This is why I don't watch 99% of horror movies except the cheezeoid ones like Underworld.

Because it is so very rare, as an adult who's been spending her entire life avidly watching, that a horror movie can have that strong of a reaction on me. It's like a badge of honor for the film maker.

That being said, it sucks when it's happening- even if I can laugh about it later on.

The Descent was so freakin' scary. I think it might be the most legitimately terrifying horror movie I've ever seen.

Did you know all of the caving scenes were totally done on a freaking sound stage?

Dang, now I want to watch it again. :D

Well, that's been added to my Netflix queue. I have seen/liked almost all of the movies that were "related" and snagged one called "Noriko's Dinner Table," as well, because it sounded good. It seems like it gets lumped in with Japanese horror on Netflix, so chances are, I will like it.

And I figure... if it made you flap around? It must be quality.
