Horror is really the only genre that has entries that, while “good,” may not necessarily mean “recommended.” So, how does that affect what is “definitive?” A recent conversation brought up the nightmare of a movie A Serbian Film (great review here from Justine) which, by all accounts, is a horror film. But, while everyone in film circles knows about the film (many have even seen it), I can’t imagine anyone actually recommending it. It’s made impact, sure. But at what cost? The best horror films aren’t simply there to scare and disgust viewers. They’re there to serve as metaphors for other issues, however big or small. But the best ones are those that do it in a way that, while still may scare and disgust you, will also make you think and reevaluate your situation.

Today on Trailers from Hell, horror writer/director Darren Bousman talks about Mexican filmmaker Fernando Mendez's Spanish-language fantasy thriller "The Black Pit of Dr. M," a buried treasure from 1959. Directed by Fernando Mendez, 1959's "The Black Pit of Dr. M" (Aka "Mysteries from the Beyond") is several steps above the usual monster movie fare spilling out of Mexico in the late fifties and early sixties. "Dr. M"'s predictable parade of pedestrian horror movie tropes, including mad scientists, zombies and mediums all staged inside an insane asylum is given unexpected beauty by Mendez's imaginative direction and cinematographer Victor Herrera's luminous black and white imagery. This outrageous trailer keeps blacking out the image because it's too horrible to show!
