| "Don't Look Now" -- horror film as Cubist puzzle. |
While mainstream horror blockbusters and a seemingly endless stream of highly graphic, cheaply made horror series were flooding the market in the last quarter of the 20th century, a handful of filmmakers were producing a third line of product. Iconoclasts (Roeg), past masters (Russell, Zemeckis) and future horror superstars (del Toro, Jackson) were all crafting well-thought-out, innovative works that deserve a closer look.
