It's very common to find in the horror genre of films that the most visually appealing scenes cover empty spots in the script and changes in the actors' abilities to act. Horror movies in the last 10 years have somewhat organized these secretly hiding techniques into two main areas steadily accepted by the mentally disturbed and sexually frustrated people: visceral death and steamy sex, and I watch.
For example, in 2005's House of Wax, director Jaume Collet-Serra ingeniously saved ears worldwide from Hilton's monotone line deliveries by...giving her a sex scene in a tent and reaaally small shorts. She could then be educating film viewers on the positive aspects of the Holocaust and it wouldn't matter as long as eyes bulged and heart beats raced.
Director Deon Taylor's recent released Chain Letter, displays the flip side by using gruesome, spine tingling, Mortal Kombat-style deaths to cover up his writer's flaws and welcome horror fans into the Halloween season with style. For example, in one scene a stereotypical White jock shows off his lack of college football scholarships while fatiguing after a 1 minute and displaying the bench press skills of a quadriplegic. How to hide this? Hmm...break his arms and rip his face off (in a see-saw motion, of course). With no mouth, horror-loving audiences with the memories of gold fish forget he could ever talk in the first place. Problem solved.
Again in the Chain Letter movie, the quintessential nerdy, PC-loving brother of a sexy cheerleader buys a gun for self defense only to rely on the security of confusing soliloquies and solitary confinement in his room...with a huge glass wall and skylight and no gun in sight. How to mask the oversight of giving omitting character survival skills without fooling viewers into thinking he's Bear Grills? Harpoon him and reel that fish in. No-brainer for everyone involved, right?
In the meantime, while some good movies have succeeded at taking off both unique techniques successfully, I couldn't imagine any horror audience that craves guts, gore, and elevating body counts not wanting to kick start their Halloween season with Chain Letter. There's even a sexy treat for the die-hard trick o' treaters out there.
