#SYNOPSIS OF THE MOVIE CALIBRE 2018 FULL#

I’ve also included atypical horror films: the Pasolini film, Salo: 120 days of Sodom, which is not a horror proper but is still included on this list, is a visual representation of the Sade novel the film is full of abject horror, grotesque materiality and torture, and yet the violence in that film is infused with representation- symbolizing fascism, corruption, and power. Catharsis is employed by Aristotle in the sixth chapter of his Tragedy as a defense of literature for its ability to release ourselves from the reception of our experience of shock and horror. I admit there were a couple films on this list my wife couldn’t finish and I don’t blame her … although she did make it to the end of Martyrs, so who knows what qualifies as too much? And why do we enjoy scary films, anyway? Probably, on some primal level, they are purgative and cathartic to watch. We ramp it up every October to around 8-10 horror films to celebrate Hallowe’en. In our house, we watch an intense thriller or horror film about once a month.

This post is an update from my original 50 must see horror film list (2013).
