A film like Carrie has some wonderful scenes, but the general mood is ruined by the changes of tone, as if you decide not to be the kind of film. Hellraiser has its share of frightening scenes, but makes the overabundance of blood difficult to observe. And movies like spirit suffer Porteras too absurd, devising elaborate explanations for the supernatural. What I admire are movies that create a feeling of horror with more finesse and skill.
