Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is the ultimate creeper movie

I think I still like Pacific Rim slightly more, tho.

is that the one where the guy has no scent

Yeah, and he kills bitches so he can sniff them.

Yeah, it's definitely up there in terms of, er, "creeper movies." I should really watch it again soon -it's a great movie.

However, while I'm not entirely clear on your definition of "creeper movie," I would like to nominate Elija Wood's recent movie Maniac as a contender.



While not the most original horror movie ever and perhaps being a bit "problematic" in the gender relations department, it's a brilliantly well crafted film presenting the sort of stark, refusing to blink violence of a lot of French new wave horror films like Inside and mixing it with the dark, psychological drama of Hitchcock. Its my theory that this was exactly their goal, especially considering the plot's striking similarities to Psycho.

It's been a while since a movie has made me feel this uncomfortable while still managing to actually hold my interest and present something sincerely human -though some may find some of the humanizing elements to be a bit overtly melodramatic.

I completely forgot about that Perfume movie. I saw a trailer for it once in high school and was like "That looks weird, I'll probably never see that." And I was right, for once.

You should watch it. It's good times all around.
