I’ve mentioned before that Sim is a fan of (amongst other things) a damn good horror film. Just to clarify, as much as he loves the ‘Saw’ series, his main appreciation lies with Asian horror, the work of Takasi Miike and more recently anything coming out of France.
so, I read an article on Lars Von Trier’s new film “Antichrist” and upon hearing Sim’s weekly re-telling of his latest viewing, advised him, “Here’s one you may have heard of - DONT watch it”.
I haven’t seen it and dont plan to. Sim, of course, watched it. The text message I received some hours later went along the lines of “Just watched Antichrist - I’m gonna’ be fucking scarred and I still feel physically sick. It’s not designed to be gory, it’s trippy, wierd and hardcore phsycological. And what I saw HAS to be an uncut version they’ll NEVER release”.
Alas, no. It got glowing reviews at the Cannes film festival (despite audience members allegedly fainting and/or walking out) and had a general, uncut yet restricted, release. I invited little bro’ to write a review for the site and was met with. “No, that’d mean having to think about it again”.
For all you horror “bulls” out there, consider this post your “red rag”
…..I dare you.
