Nerd Blerp - 10 Great Horror Films You've Never Seen
Being a fan of all things horror, I thought it high-time I showed some love for the genre on this site. Horror films are great because they appeal to our most base natures, but also because they are allowed to be as loopy and imaginative as they want...well, at lest they used to be. These days, imagination has been replaced by lots of gore and cheap 'jump-out-of-your-seat' shocks. Horror films no longer follow you home and haunt your dreams in the stillness of the night. So, here are ten great horror films that you've never seen before (I hope). They will provide you with a much needed antidote to the teeny-bopper and remake hell that we are stuck in today.

lin Firth says film industry underestimates audiences' intelligence
Filmgoers are being underestimated by the movie industry and not being offered enough intelligent work that might require some concentration, the actor Colin Firth said at a screen version of John le Carré's classic spy novel was shown at the Venice film festival. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy had its world premiere in Venice, one of three British films in competition for the Golden Lion. As if on cue, the hot, muggy Italian weather that the city has had over the last five days was replaced by British rain and grey skies. Firth spoke to journalists after the film's first screening, joined by the film's lead Gary Oldman – who plays George Smiley – and actors John Hurt, Benedict Cumberbatch and Mark Strong.
