| imo, that made the film a bit more scary... because what's more frightening than showing gore?
Your imagination.

| I agree pensive  ...... I've always liked psychological horror rather than gory films and I think in Hollywood Kills it's the scariness of not knowing what's going to happen next, combined with Dominic's truly menacing performance as Fenway that makes it a great film |

| | I finally got my copy, and got to watch it yesterday. Horror is not my usual fare, but I have to say I did quite enjoy it. I thought Dominic made a chillingly menacing villain - mad in a disturbingly sane way, if you know what I mean. Everything he did was rational and logical in his own mad world. One thing I didn't like was that parts were so dark it was impossible to see what was happening: I don't understand the modern obsession with filming in the dark. Maybe I should start a campain to send lightbulbs to Hollywood! In relation to HK in particular, I would have expected Fenway to want to watch everything in glorious Technicolor, not dodgy monochrome. Maybe he thinks he's making art movies. So, I'm glad I've seen it, and I did enjoy it, but a little more gore and detail would have been nice. Imagination is all powerful, but it works better for being well fed. |

Maybe he spent most of his remaining $$ paying off his employees instead of investing in that new HD television?
