IS PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR THE ANSWER?
What do Stitches, Grabbers, Boy eats girl, Wake wood, Dorothy, Daisy chain, Dead meat, Isolation, Shrooms, and Assault of darkness have in common? Correct they're all sh*t Irish horror movies. Stupid, non-scary, unoriginal, derivative, silly, and aimed mostly at teenagers. So what can be done to improve the reputation of Irish horror cinema? Well, why not do something similar to Bergman and Losey and use psychological horror instead? Dialogue driven cinema with actors playing emotionally disturbed people. Surely that would be more interesting than a stupid clown or cow trying to scare the audience?
