all movies are about killing

even Debbie Does Dallas?

As Andrea Dworking sez "All movies are potential slasher flix"

sex is only a metaphor for violence

You've Got Mail is a snuff film.

No 8mm, no credibility

I've wondered why a genre that seems to be just endless riffs off of one book--Silence of the Lambs--has remained so popular. When it got big in the late 80s, we were in the wake some highly publicized serial killers, like Ted Bundy, but the obsession was pretty escapist in the sense that most murders were (and are) drug related rather than the works of twisted geniuses.

Christopher Lambert flick: "Resurrection"

This movie gave me the worst nightmares EVER as a child.

Latebloomer:

Are you sure? I've pretty well blotted it out, but I thought that the snuff film ring had made lots, or at least a few.

Anyway, it does have Tony Soprano sucking a gun barrel like a cock. Surely that deserves some recognition.

How could I forget:

PRIMEVAL!

and also:

LAKE PLACID!

i remember 'resurrection'. saw it in the theatre actually. the characters were standing in the rain and vomiting all the time, it was kinda avantgarde.

OK JEEPERS CREEPERS

-7 the hills have eyes

classic btw

-8. Zodiac

-812. The Man With Two Brains. If you haven't seen it and don't know who the serial killer is, I won't spoil it for you. It's one of the best gags in the film.

-3.14159. Videodrome if only because having a videotape put in your stomach that tells you to kill and turns your hand into a gross sausage-hand-gun thing seems somewhat improbable. Also serial killers killing people for mind control snuff videos. But whatevs.

-10. Little Shop of Horrors, like how well-reasoned were the space plant's murders?

-11. Natural Born Killers, tho NB this is hell of awesome movie

-12. LOVE OBJECT in which a man turns psychotic after getting too obsessed with his Real Doll.

a seven rip-off with christopher lambert about a guy who's assembling a real life crucifix from body parts of hobos

Wait: why wouldn't just one hobo do? Was the cross made out of hobos? Or was he just using the bits of the hobos that looked sufficiently Jesus-like?

P.S. Horrible as it is, The Cell is somehow one of my favorite things ever -- I especially like that when they go into J.Lo's brain, it's just an ENDLESS DESERT in which she's some kind of smug sun-queen

-13. Alien

The Cell should have a petri dish threesome with the Cremaster Cycle and something really good. What would that offspring look like?

<i>75. Zodiac

I think this is disqualifiable for a number of reasons (as is American Psycho - surprised no one's dropped that one yet)</i>

Why is American Psycho disqualifiable? It's not based on a true story and he's completely ridiculous.

I enjoyed The Cell and Identity and most of the movies that you all are picking on here. I even enjoyed this:
The Driller Killer

-14. Super Mario Bros.

<i>something that has actually happened is by definition more probable than something that never has</i>

^^^^ OK still wtf with this?

Wait: why wouldn't just one hobo do? Was the cross made out of hobos? Or was he just using the bits of the hobos that looked sufficiently Jesus-like?

he was using a different hobo for each body part

Why is American Psycho disqualifiable? It's not based on a true story and he's completely ridiculous.

"twist" ending indicating he hasn't actually killed anybody

just being a sadistic serial killer IN YOUR MIND does not count as being an actual serial killer

dude all these movies are imaginary

Untitled Rachel Ray Snuff Film

is there already a thread listing all the movies where the big twist is "The Psycho was ME all along! WHY, GOD, WHYYYYYYY!???!!! (shakes fist at sky)"? There are a million of em, The Number 23 being the latest and most awful. (There's also the OH MY GOD! I AM ALREADY DEAD! sub-genre eg Sixth Sense, The Others, etc.)

What other OH MY GOD! I AM ALREADY DEAD! are there?

The OThers

Sixth Sense
