Those films that really speak to the primal fear that we, as human beings, have about the unknown have always intrigued me. That's the really scary thing, not the slasher, macabre movies. It's the ones that deal with the inner fear: the unknown realms and the mysticisms that are scary.

Not For Everyone

 because it was a bit sort of what the word is a bit rough i suppose in some respects it's not very nice when you hear all of those squishy sounds as the kind of internal organ starts spilling out of the impala which is a bit on the macabre side so nice that she's already done it and you don't have to witness all of that
