www.bbc.co.uk/markkermode I blogged recently on the new version of The Wicker Man out today and why I don't like 'Cattle Prod Cinema'. Here are some of your responses.

At 3:17, the Good Dr appears to break the Space/Time Continuum by being inside the car whilst simultaneously being outside the car. Hopefully in one of the podcasts, the Good Dr and his assistant will be able explain how he achieved this tear in the fabric of space and time.

at 3:15 you can see Kermode standing in the background. Mind blown.

Is the fact that "Fremantle Media" is in the background significant?

Horror can be equated with comedy. Movies are weighed down by clichés and old recipes, whose ingredients are subservient to the same elements that made other films successful. Timing; modern horror films rely heavily on jump-scares, which, in a movie called Insidious doesn't make any sense. It's devolved, making timed scares the only thing used for the release of tension. I want a gradual build that pays off, not by providing a jump, but by something so frightening that you can't shake it off.

exactly. i think most people just can't handle stuff that are actually scary or maybe they dont understand what exactly it is mark was saying. take for example "The Fly" creepiest movie from my childhood. i grew up terrified of that movie not cause it made me jump out my seat, but cause it was genuinely utterly bothersome. especially for a 10 year old to be watching :S

I felt most of the comments were in agreement with Kermode on the BBC website, weren't a huge number who claimed he was being a snob. He wasn't saying that cattle prod moments are totally unnecessary anyway, just that you can't build a horror film around them. For me I think cattle prod moments have to earn their place gradually, and you only need about 3 or 4 in a horror film if at all.

cattle prod films may be scary and shocking, but they are not horrifying
