Timecrimes- Spanish film- DVD 10586<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\n\"timecrimes-2007-001-man-head-wrapped-bandage-owl\"\"timecrimes\"\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTime travel turns to horror in this Spanish film. Timecrimes was filmed in Spain, during a time period where Guillermo del Toro\u2019s infamous Spanish horror films reigned and thus helped its own popularity. Known for its low budget but complex concept and dark humor, this film\u2019s twists and turns discusses the complexity of attempting to amend lies in love affair with more lies and dark actions.\r\n

House- Japanese film- DVD 12165<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nHouse (\u30cf\u30a6\u30b9)\u00a0is a 1977 Japanese horror film\u00a0by Nobuhiko Obayashi. It was originally scripted after the movie Jaws <\/em>(1975) had just come out. Film-makers were inspired to make similar films after Jaw’s great reception. I would not say, though, that House is anything like Jaws. It involves a young girl who after learning that she will be sharing the summer with her father’s new girlfriend, she invites some friends to join her at her aunt’s house\u00a0instead. With a sick aunt, a bloodthirsty cat, and evil spirits lurking around, the girls find that it might have been better to stay at home. Obayashi wanted the film to focus on the perception and imagination of the child. He therefore used multiple special effects that were purposely made to look fake or created by a child.\r\n

Suspiria- Italian film – DVD 5089<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\r\n \r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSuspiria<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Latin for “sighs”)\u00a0is a 1977 Italian horror film\u00a0about an American student enrolled in a German dance academy. A series of bizarre incidents and brutal murders puts the academy in chaos. This film is a critically acclaimed for many reasons. For one, the score\u00a0was composed by a progressive rock\u00a0band Goblin, and versions of Goblins music was recreated for years to come. Another reason for its popularity is it\u2019s style in cinematography and coloring. For example, its design emphasized vivid colors, particularly red, creating a deliberately unrealistic, nightmarish setting. It was one of the final feature films to be processed in Technicolor.\r\n
