Think of how many things have to happen for anything else to happen. Imagine how many dominoes had to fall, in the correct order at the correct time, for us all to exist as we are. The same is true of people who don't live, since we all die, and those who die violently--perhaps more so, since most of us don't. Think about it long enough and you'll start to worry about free will.

Horror, as a genre, lets us claim some control over life's apparent chaos (or its infinitely intricate circumstance); even if we die in gruesome fashion, at least there's a story to it. At least there's a reason we can understand.

Fulci's films deny us that control. There is a reason. You will never understand. You will wonder forever.

Not to mention, one Fulci kill is worth ten Friday the 13th kills, easily.

I was struggling to figure out why this old torrent I had of House (1977) didn't have working subtitles, then I found out the "subtitles" it had were just an ad for the torrent site it came from and not actual subtitles for the movie, so I downloaded a subtitle track off the internet and that worked!

Alternatively, I could've literally searched House 1977 on the Internet Archive because somebody uploaded a rip of the Criterion Collection blu-ray on there with a working subtitle track. so this has been a fun little journey. Anyways if you haven't watched House (1977) it's literally right there and is one of the most well regarded horror movies of all time.



Made internet famous by Red Letter Media, the regional cult classic is streaming on a bunch of platforms including best streamer, Tubi and Youtube. Some shocking scenes of domestic violence aside this is a easy recommendation for creature feature fans. Quality practical FX, amateur acting, and a sub 90 minute runtime!
