Except that you never really see anything. Even the inside of Nell's mind is obscure. This is also my favourite sort of horror.<br />I will keep your recommendation in mind.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-620499641331272532018-02-06T04:55:14.604+02:002018-02-06T04:55:14.604+02:00I did not know that, but it makes perfect sense.

This is my favorite sort of horror--one that relies entirely on atmosphere and suggestion rather than jump scares and gore.<br /><br />This is horror of the <i>mind</i>, and that's what makes it work for me. While it's not in the Book, I'd recommend The Innocents when you get a little further into the 1960s--it's very different, but the mood and atmosphere is similar.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-66190966818057238582018-02-06T01:52:58.237+02:002018-02-06T01:52:58.237+02:00Robert Wise actually directed Curse of the Cat Peo...Robert Wise actually directed Curse of the Cat People for Val Lewton.
