Jennifer Kent got her start due to Von Trier, Friedkin praises Babadook

Quote :

After watching Lars von Trier's 2000 film Dancer in the Dark, Kent wrote the director a "very un-business-like e-mail" telling him that she would, "stick pins in my eyes than go to film school." That landed her a job on von Trier's Dogville. "I did a lot of s---t-kicking work on that film but I got to see the whole process from start to finish. The thing I learned about Lars that I've carried with me since is how stubborn he was. He had a vision and even if it was idiosyncratic, he was strong. As a woman, that was something I really needed to take on board."

 William Friedkin, the director of The Exorcist, is singing the film’s praises on Twitter, explaining he’s “never seen a more terrifying film.”

I still prefer It Follows, but The Babadook is also one of the best Horror films in a while, though.

Still need to see It Follows.

Have you seen The Babadook?

@RamboOnRedBull No. But I heard a lot about it.

You should check it out. It's pretty good.

@RamboOnRedBull It might be on Netflix, so I might check it out soon.

Give it a go, you lazy bastard.

Oh, and also:

Tarantino seemed to give praise to the indie horror movie hit It Follows. The director's comments did not fall on deaf ears, with David Robert Mitchell offering a retort earlier today. But, before we get to that, here's what Quentin Tarantino had to say about the film, before offering a much lengthier discussion.

"It was the best premise I've seen in a horror film in a long, long, long time. It's one of those movies that's so good you get mad at it for not being great."

@RamboOnRedBull Sorry. Been too busy watching a certain horror TV show.

Once every week. Sure sounds like a tight and busy schedule.

@RamboOnRedBull I watch it again and again everyday.

Yeah it's on Netflix. Or at least it was last time I checked.

9. He may agree with Tarantino on "It Follows," but it's still one of his favorite current horror films. Smart man.

@moonlight_ricotta: Do you currently have a favorite horror movie?

@EliRoth[S]: It Follows and Babadook.

lol, Eli Roth.

Until you see Babadook and It Follows (alone, in the night), you have nothing to add about current horror.

Might watch them during Halloween.

That moment when I even watched The Babadook before Mecha.

@Teckno Only because it was on Netflix. If it wasn't, you wouldn't have watched it, lol!
