First Blog Response - Veronica Castille

My name is Veronica Castille (some call me Ronnie, it's your choice which you prefer), and I do not have any past experience with film. I do enjoy watching movies when I have the time, but I typically stick to reading or watching TV shows instead. Greek and Roman history has always seemed interesting to me, so I'm glad I get the opportunity to see my first toga movie and learn more about the history instead of just accepting the stereotypes and romanticizations.

My favourite movie genre is horror. Sometimes horror movies are so bad they're good and it's fun to poke fun at their campy nature, but most of the time the horror movies I watch fall into the psychological horror category. Some of my favourite horror movies are the Saw franchise, Get Out, Midsommar, and American Psycho.

I wouldn't necessarily say I detest this genre, but I don't particularly like action movies. I feel that they're over-the-top and focus more on crazy action sequences than on forming and sticking to a cohesive and engaging storyline. Essentially, I think they're cheesy and not worth watching. The Fast and Furious franchise comes to mind for this category.

  1. Have you seen any of Alfred Hitchcock's horror movies like "Psycho" or "The Birds", or are these too tame for you? That's about the level of horror I still can enjoy.
