So, I’ve been on this weird kick lately, right? I got super into watching horror movies, but not in the usual way. I started to think, “What if we saw these stories from the killer’s side?” It’s a wild thought, I know. So, I went down this rabbit hole, searching for movies that actually do this.
I started digging around, trying to find films that flip the script. You know, the ones where the bad guy isn’t just some monster lurking in the shadows, but a character we get to know, maybe even understand. It’s messed up, but also super interesting.
I spent hours, maybe days, just googling stuff like “horror movies from the killer’s perspective” and “movies where the villain is the main character.” My search history is probably a red flag now, haha! But it was worth it. I found some real gems, movies that really got into the heads of these killers.
I made a list, a pretty long one, of all these movies. Some were funny, some were just sad, but they all showed things from a totally different angle. It’s like, you start seeing these killers as, well, people. Crazy, twisted people, but still.
I watched a bunch of them, one after another. It was intense! Some of these movies really mess with your head. You’re seeing all this gruesome stuff, but through the eyes of the one doing it. It’s a trip, let me tell you.
Here’s the kicker: after watching all this, I started to see how different horror can be. It’s not just about the jump scares or the gore. It’s about the why. Why do these people do what they do? Some movies made me think about the past and how it shapes people into monsters. Others made me worry about the future, like, what if we’re all heading towards something dark?
- I even found this one quote, it was something like, “Gothic Horror vilifies the past, while Atomic Horror vilifies the future. Cosmic Horror claims the universe is evil.” It totally blew my mind!
- And there was another bit about how these movies break away from the usual victim’s perspective. Yeah, that’s exactly what I was into!
This whole thing, it changed how I look at horror movies. Now, I’m always looking for that deeper layer, that reason behind the madness. It’s not just about being scared anymore; it’s about understanding the darkness.
So yeah, that’s my story. I went looking for a different kind of horror, and I found it. It’s a bit messed up, a bit crazy, but hey, it’s interesting. And it all started with that one simple question: “What if we saw things from the killer’s side?”
