Transcript
I want to talk about
horror films and why I like them and what my favourite types
are.
When I was young, I
watched the classic horror films like 'Nightmare On Elm Street' and
'Friday The 13th'. My mum told me that when I was about six, she
came downstairs in the middle of the night because there was a
noise, and it was me watching 'The Omen' on TV in the dark on my
own. So I guess I've always liked horror films.
I really like what I
called 'slasher films' – the really gory, bloody, violent films
like 'Final Destination' and 'The Hills Have Eyes'. I just find
them quite funny and I like the special effects. I don't really
find them scary at all. I think the scariest sort of films are the
ones that are very tense, like Hitchcock films.
I think the scariest one
for me is 'The Birds' because it's just very sinister the way that
the birds come and sit and look at the people. And you know that
it's going to be really bad very soon.
But I think my favourite
... favourite sort of horror films are zombie movies. I've watched
loads of zombie movies and I really like them. Again I don't really
think they are very scary. 'Dawn Of The Dead' is my absolute
favourite horror film I think. It's a film where people just wake
up one morning and there are zombies everywhere. If a zombie bites
you, you turn into a zombie. And the survivors end up in a shopping
mall in a shopping centre and they are surrounded by zombies. And
it does not have a happy ending.
There is a British comedy
horror film called 'Shaun Of The Dead' which is a bit of a joke on
the idea of the 'Dawn Of The Dead' which is also really
great.
