slate of stuff coming to San Fran in July courtesy of Another Hole in the Head film fest:

this year's fest seems heavy on the Japanese splatter tip...which, along with the recent run of "torture" horror films got me thinking that the current crop of horror films have forgone chills and genuine thrills in favor of out gross-outing each other with tons of blood and guts. i've also felt that for the most part the current glut of horror films is too reliant on the old TCM blueprint (i.e. dysfunctional and homicidal family torturing folks), as well. but then that's just my humble rumblings.
still waiting for a really scary new horror flick, with some creative gore thrown in for good measure, to come down the pike and give me the serious willies...
