Viewing Notes

Do I know anything about Spanish psychological thrillers? Am I up on these things? Do I even know that ‘psychological thriller’ is usually a euphemism for highbrow horror? Let’s give me the benefit of the doubt here and assume that I can answer yes to ⅓ of those questions. (it’s the euphemism one) So, how did Killing Words (aka: Palabras Encadenadas) come across my desk? (and by ‘desk’, i mean ‘mailbox’. i don’t have a NoRealDanger desk, per se) That’s a good question actually. Near as I can figure, I found it on one of those “best horror by women” lists a long time ago, put it in my disc queue and then forgot about it. So, when it came, I thought, “Killing Words? What is this shit?” But I watched it anyway. Now, I know what is this shit. And, by simply reading on, you too can know what is this shit.
