Funny, not scary
2 November 2006
"The 100 Scariest Movie Moments" is not very scary. The vast majority of the clips are simply incredibly disgusting and bloody. Disembowelment, eyeball piercing, etc...this is not "scary" in the true sense of the word. The film really should have been titled, "The 100 Most Revolting Movie Moments." The filmmaker simply does not know what horror really is. There is way too much slasher stuff and not enough psychological terror. I was happy to see a few of my favorites on the list, including Rosemary's Baby and a wonderful Spanish film called The Devil's Backbone. I wish there had been more films like that instead of the stupid Friday-the-13th-type movies.

The people who provided the commentary were, in some cases, perfectly logical--horror-film actors and directors, for instance--but others were ridiculous. The Coors (or whatever brand it was) beer twin bimbos? Huh?? All in all, a waste of my viewing time.
