On You Tube controversy : " OVERNIGHT AT SUICIDE FOREST "
This amateur film reminds me of " The Blair Witch Project " and Stephen King's " The Body " and a famous quote from the master of " cosmic horror " H.P. Lovecraft : " The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. H. P. Lovecraft . "
What WORKS here is not any banal gross out but the play on your subconscious fears-impending panic- and your atavistic IMAGINATION. A CLASSIC not by art but by accident: " OVERNIGHT AT SUICIDE FOREST ".
PITY is also a factor at work here : why would any human being want to end his or her life in such an abandoned, God forsaken place ? But is ANY place in the universe really " God forsaken " ?
Even Hiroshima after the atomic bombing nightmare ?
