It’s horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

    With Barbarian it was just seeing the WKUKisms that I’ve grown accustomed to take life in a whole new genre - it was disconcertingly familiar and horrifically new at the same time!

    Deadspace is a great description of Pandorum, but I’d argue that Pandorum has a far better story filled more with what people do when burdened by unwanted knowledge, rather than what people do when they are no longer themselves

      Haha so I’m only familiar with WKUK by title, so I’ll have to check it out. :p

      what people do when burdened by unwanted knowledge,

      I like this point a lot. A friend of mine once told me something like: horror as a genre is easily defined as “What happens to those who look?”

      I loved that quote.

      Forbidden knowledge is so scary. It’s like reading spoilers. Just a glance, and it’s in your mind. It’s a part of you. How do you cope? You can’t just drop it like some cursed object or outrun it like some monster.

      We want to know lots of things, I know I always love to learn…but the scariest things are those you don’t want to know… But how can you know what these are? You don’t know what you don’t know yet…

      Pardon my ramble. Midnight contemplative brain kicked in. 😂

      … Yeah I need to watch Pandorum again haha. Introduce some new people to it. :D
