Without those hooks, they just kinda bore me... On the other hand, giallos still do it for me, because those are usually creative, stylish, and mind-warping.

Slashers are my absolute favorite genre. I think everybody on here knows that. Anyway, I never thought Terror Train was all that great, really. It's pretty so-so. Pretty unforgettable.
