Stephen King's got a nice - besides sort of defending The Happening - little diatribe in the new Entertainment Weekly on why Hollywood can't do horror correctly, and I especially liked this:

"...horror is not spectacle, and never will be. Horror is an unknown actress, perhaps the girl next door, cowering in a cabin with a knife in her hands we know she'll never be able to use. Horror is the scene in The Strangers where Liv Tyler tries to hide beneath the bed...and discovers she can't fit there.".

I think King can write horror, but as a judge of it in movies... I start to get a little skeptical. But this is a great quote by him and he's exactly right. Exactly.
I love how he completely disses Scott Speedman with "ut what makes such a little film with only one star (Liv Tyler) work in the first place?"
hahahawwww
