My Least Favorite Meme\u00a0(and the \u201cBest Movies\u201d Listicle that will Hopefully get You to Read this Article)<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Film_Book_Meme\"Did you know that Facebook has a \u201cI don\u2019t want to see this\u201d button?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true. Using it blocks a specific post from your timeline, but doesn\u2019t unfollow or silence the person who shared it. After the third of my friends posted the meme you see to your right, I started clicking that button. Liberally.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I no longer wanted to look at this iceberg and its lazy, sweeping generalization about my two favorite mediums.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not above unfollowing people\u2014there\u2019s only so many cutesy ecards and \u201cShare this if you remember\u2026\u201d posts a man can take\u2014but I didn\u2019t want to unfollow the people posting the iceberg. For the most part they were friends, intelligent people who I enjoyed.<\/p>\n

So why do I dislike this iceberg so much? Well, because it perpetuates bad thinking. It\u2019s condescending to both film and book fans.<\/p>\n

For book people, I imagine, sharing this meme gets them a nice little dopamine drip of \u201clook at what a smarty pants I am\u201d for minimal effort. Heck, even for people who like movies but are one of the \u201cthe book is always better\u201d crowd, sharing this image is evidence that they aren\u2019t half as good at \u201creading\u201d films as they are traditionally literate.<\/p>\n

And I kinda get the sentiment behind the iceberg. And I\u2019m not arguing that it\u2019s always wrong. I taught high school English, I\u2019m a big proponent of getting kids (well, everyone) to read more. But I\u2019m also a big advocate of getting kids (well, everyone) to be savvy consumers of all media, and the iceberg analogy devalues one art form in order to praise another. I\u2019m not cool with that.<\/p>\n

And before you say: \u201cI think you\u2019re reading too much into the iceberg, man. It\u2019s just a meme.\u201d That\u2019s exactly the point, mofo! The iceberg itself is asking us to pursue depth in our choice of media, and by that criteria, as media: the iceberg is bullshit. You\u2019ve got to think about the things you like and be able to articulate why you like them! Also, in analysis, there is no \u201creading too much into it\u201d as long as we work from the text.<\/p>\n

So why am I telling\/yelling you this? Why is this post even on the Cemetary Dance website? Is this going to be a regular column where this jagoff I never heard of comes to a website celebrating literature and talks up movies?<\/p>\n

To answer your last question first: yes. Hopefully. If I don\u2019t get fired for veering off topic in my very first post (thanks for having me, guys!). And as for the \u201cjagoff I never heard of\u201d part: it\u2019s cool, I\u2019m Adam. Nice to meet you.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m telling you my opinion on the iceberg\u2014and doing it on the Cemetary Dance website\u2014because this postulated divide between film fandom and fiction fandom is even more intense within the horror crowd.*<\/p>\n

All you need to do to see what I\u2019m talking about is compare fan events. Look at something like HorrorHound Weekend and the World Horror Convention side by side.<\/p>\n

HorrorHound has a slight book presence (Samhain Publishing is a sponsor and has a table, and they do good business), but for the most part, you could set one of the titans of the written word behind a guest table and Norman Reedus\u2019s line would still be twenty times as long. People aren\u2019t there for books. And I\u2019m not saying these attendees don\u2019t read (or even passing judgment that that would be a bad thing). A lot of them do, this just isn\u2019t where they go to find their next book.<\/p>\n

The insularity of literary folks is just as pronounced at WHC, where just last month I ran into an indie filmmaker I liked a lot who was walking around, nobody knowing who he was.<\/p>\n

And I get it: people are just into different things. There isn\u2019t enough time in everyone\u2019s day to go around being a fan\/supporter of everything. You pick a pastime, a medium you like and you stick with it.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m here to tell you (\u201cthere\u2019s something else\u201d): you\u2019re missing out. And that\u2019s what this column, which I\u2019m hoping runs for many months, years maybe (thanks for having me guys, for real), will be about.<\/p>\n

So if you shared the iceberg, back when it was making the social media rounds. Or if your first reaction upon seeing the iceberg was an indignant: \u201cWhat is this guy talking about? I agree with that iceberg!\u201d Then let me tell you that I politely disagree.<\/p>\n

As texts, films can be just as nuanced, impactful and\u2014yes\u2014scary as the best novels and short stories the genre has to offer. And, I would go further and say: people who are fans and conscientious consumers of both mediums get more out of their fandom.<\/p>\n

Throughout this series I hope to dive into films I love with a critical eye (and the eye of a reader and writer of horror fiction). I say \u201cfilms I love\u201d because I don\u2019t want this to be a reviews column, I don\u2019t want to waste my one post a month discussing something I don\u2019t recommend. Or at least I don\u2019t want to talk about an uninteresting film, there\u2019s too much good (and deep) stuff out there for that.<\/p>\n

Yes. Plenty of horror films are garbage. Plenty of regular-ass films are garbage. Plenty of new movies are garbage. Plenty of old movies are garbage (this is a distinction that must be made, because I\u2019ve had the argument posed to me that modern horror is the problem, and I disagree, but we\u2019ll get to that).<\/p>\n

But, and I know this may shock you, but plenty of books are garbage too.<\/p>\n

As many are quick to point out when decrying the state of horror cinema, it is now easier than ever to make a film. They claim there\u2019s been a spike in amateurism flooding the market.<\/p>\n

But something about that last statement probably rings familiar to you, dear reader, if you\u2019re at all savvy to what\u2019s going on in publishing. Technology has also made it easier to write and distribute a book. And don\u2019t pretend like you don\u2019t have a stack of your Uncle Joe\u2019s self-published Tom Clancy pastiches around.<\/p>\n

But this technological democratization isn\u2019t a bad thing! We\u2019re getting films and lit from groups who\u2019ve never before had a voice in either field. Sure we have to sift through a lot of shot-on-an-iphone slasher flicks and Createspace dinosaur porn to get it, but that\u2019s a small price to pay, I would argue.<\/p>\n

And one more thing, while I\u2019m presenting a mission statement: I\u2019ll probably focus on contemporary movies, at least at first. I want to try and fight the misconception that cinematic horror is in some kind of disrepair. It\u2019s not, there\u2019s good stuff coming out (and lost gems being re-issued) all the time.<\/p>\n

In fact, as I promised in the headline, here\u2019s a \u201cstarter set.\u201d These are five movies from the past five years that have iceberg depth for miles and miles. This isn\u2019t a \u201cbest horror movies of 2010-2015\u201d list, it\u2019s just movies I like. Most of them are movies I\u2019ve already thought\/wrote about at length. I\u2019d love to hear some of your favorites from the last half-decade.<\/p>\n

Honeymoon<\/em> (2014)<\/strong>: Maybe it was timing that kept Honeymoon<\/em> from getting the notoriety I feel it deserves. It was released around the same time as Starry Eyes<\/em> and The Babadook<\/em>, with early It Follows<\/em> buzz thrown in to dampen its chances of getting noticed. All three of those are wonderful films that I would put on this list. But they\u2019re so recent and already garnered so much attention. Or maybe people just don\u2019t like Honeymoon<\/em> as much as I do. Fair enough, but if you want to talk thematic depth, Mr. Iceberg: yeesh, this movie\u2019s got it. Fear of commitment? Fear of intimacy? Body horror? Leigh Janiack\u2019s debut feature checks off a lot of phobia-boxes that don\u2019t often get checked off together. Or at all. And it does so with a small cast (the two leads are the only actors onscreen for 95% of the movie) and minimal budget, I\u2019m assuming.<\/p>\n

Martha Marcy May Marlene<\/em> (2011)<\/strong>: The inclusion of Sean Durkin\u2019s film may have a few people chiming in with the old \u201cThat\u2019s not horror!\u201d argument. With a metered pace, almost no bloodshed, and strong central performances, many gorehounds (I\u2019m one of you, brothers and sisters) might label this an art film. Yeah, maybe the cult has more in common with the Source Family than they do with the satanic cult in Race with the Devil<\/em>, but they\u2019re plenty dread-inducing when they want to be. Movies about dealing with recovering from trauma and societal disconnect are rarely this good and almost never in our genre.<\/p>\n

Dream Home<\/em> (2010)<\/strong>: Ho-Cheung Pang\u2019s Dream Home<\/em> is a film that\u2019s grown on me since my initial viewing. It has pacing issues, but some of the images are so brutal, the central conceit so good, that it\u2019s lingered in my mind for half a decade now. The central conceit: that Hong Kong\u2019s real estate market is cut throat enough that our protagonist (?) has to cut actual throats to get the apartment she wants. Not didactic in the sense that it\u2019s boring, but thematically dense and culturally relevant enough that it gives viewers (even for those who know very little about Hong Kong\u2019s recent history, there\u2019s a pre-credits scroll that sets the scene) a window into a new society. A culture that starts out seemingly alien, at least to my unworldly eyes, and then, sadly, grows more relatable as the blood is spilt. You\u2019ll never look at Space Bags the same way again.<\/p>\n

Sightseers<\/em> (2012)<\/strong>: Ben Wheatley (along with his stable of constant collaborators) is one of my favorite living filmmakers, if not the absolute top of the pile. Wheatley\u2019s third theatrical feature, Sightseers is a comedy so dark and bloody, it tips over into horror-comedy without any attempt at real scares, it enters genre through dint of (very funny) brutality alone. And it manages to be funny while dealing with some very heavy-sounding material: new relationships, loneliness, and (armed) class warfare.<\/p>\n

I was going to lead off this list with Wheatley\u2019s Kill List<\/em> (2011) but I don\u2019t want to do a capsule review of that movie. I\u2019ll leave it for some rainy day long-form explication. It\u2019s a little intimidating because it\u2019s been on my \u201cI\u2019ll write about this later\u201d shelf for four years. I feel like I could write a freaking book about Kill List<\/em>, but maybe I\u2019m only capable of saying how much I love it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re Next<\/em> (2011)<\/strong>: Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett\u2019s film is the only movie on this list to get a wide release, stateside at least, and I\u2019m betting a lot of you are familiar with it. But I\u2019m including it here because, for me, You\u2019re Next<\/em> is a better genre deconstruction than the much-lauded Cabin in the Woods<\/em>. I mean no disrespect to Cabin<\/em>, which is a film I enjoy immensely. But I think what You\u2019re Next<\/em> ends up doing is funnier and smarter and it does its thing without ever technically \u201cbreaking\u201d the sub-genre it\u2019s exploring (the slasher).<\/p>\n

What I love about this movie is that I first saw it at a free promotional screening (the kind of things radio stations give out passes to), and that illustrated for me how You\u2019re Next<\/em> is able to play to two distinct crowds simultaneously. You don\u2019t have to be a horror fan to fully enjoy the film at its most basic level. There are no distracting \u201cinside baseball\u201d references to alienate the section of the audience that doesn\u2019t subscribe to Fangoria<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And yet, I attended this screening with a handful of horror writers and journalists. We all came in with the film\u2019s buzz ringing in our ears (it was on the shelf for awhile, after its initial festival run) and we were seeing a different movie from all the normals around us, I guarantee. There\u2019s the unlikely (and explosive) final girl, the gentle subversion of home-invasion tropes (from Straw Dogs<\/em> to The Strangers<\/em>), and a twist (that many seem to dislike) that involves an embracing of the slasher\u2019s roots in the whodunit format. For me, this is a movie as a versatile, movable text. If you look at it one way, it\u2019s a fun slasher movie, but if you squint and stand off to the side it becomes a movie about movies. That two of the first victims are played by a real-life horror movie directors (one of them, clearly, a non-actor), can\u2019t be coincidence, can it?<\/p>\n

Enough rambling. See you next month!<\/p>\n

*From what I\u2019ve seen, personally. I don\u2019t want to be like the iceberg and make sweeping generalizations without qualifying that they are, indeed, generalizations.<\/strong><\/p>\n
