WHEN I WAS 12...

My parents, particularly my mother, were instrumental in shaping my love of cinema. From as young as I can remember I would sit up late on weekends and watch whatever they were watching. I vividly remember countless films and having their images leave a life-long lasting impression on me. Films like DEAD CALM, FRENZY and WHEELS OF TERROR were just some of the grown up movies I was treated to. Looking back I was mature beyond my years at the time and nothing ever terrorised or tormented me. The confronting image of a woman falling to her death in the opening of LETHAL WEAPON had a huge impact on me (her too lol) and a horrific scene of a woman tangled in razor wire in Poltergeist 3 has fuelled my love of confronting horror. I was 8 years old when I convinced my grandmother to sit up and watch a NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET marathon with me. hehehe.

And of course I educated myself with everything that was awesome about the 70s and 80s. All the staples were covered... 

But when I was 12 years old I discovered SBS and my passion for cinema evolved. Having already started my education of mainstream films alongside my parents, I found SBS and began a new discovery all on my own. From arthouse films to foreign films and anything else what was weird and subversive, I owe my passion for such things to late night programming. Tonight I'm feeling all nostalgic and I thought i would share with you some of the films that had the biggest impact. These are the films I watched, taped onto VHS and rewatched over and over. These films set my mind on a new course....
