Disturbed
Have you ever seen a movie that just plain disturbed you. I'm not talking momentarily grossed you out or left you feeling off for a little while after seeing it; but one that left you feeling like you needed a mental shower for days after the fact. One that just f'ed with some base level of you psyche and you wished to god that you'd never seen it? I had the unfortunate opportunity to see such a movie (well more like 10 minutes of a movie) at a Halloween party last Saturday night at my friend Dave's house. Now mind you, this was not entirely by my choice; it was on a 70" HD Plasma TV in the main room of the house and it really couldn't be 100% avoided. So I didn't actually SEE the movie as much as keep bumping into it. The movie I'm referring to is Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses. I have until this point refused to see this film because I know me and how I react to heinous acts of victimization and gore. Not that I can't watch CSI or a movie like say Kill Bill; but torture just does me in. Dave has tried to get me to watch it with him several times, which I have politely declined. Let me say right here that I'm not blaming him in any way shape or form. Horror films are his thing and that's cool. I just wish I could have avoided the TV for the two hours that the movie was playing. Just my luck that every time I walked by the TV, something truly disturbing was happening. I know I'll shake this feeling eventually, I just need a little more mental Ajax with bleach......
