I expected to be introduced to a bunch of new movies, but instead what you've done for me is deepen the meaning of the concept of "savage cinema". I've seen every movie you mentioned save for Death Game and Motel Hell. In October I watch a horror movie a day - they both happen to be on my list this year (Death Game due to your previous review of it). My idea of Savage Cinema was always that the civilised protagonist becomes a savage so I never considered Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Martyrs or The Strangers as examples. But the way you've talked about them here is very interesting in terms of the protagonists idea of what is civilised being turned on its head. I was trying my hand at the genre in a script I'm writing and had hit a bout of writers block but I think your response might help with that. All the movies you mentioned are fantastic so I have high hopes for Death Game and Motel Hell.<br /><br />Thanks again for taking the time to replyMarcus Killerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459322972120766474noreply@blogger.com
