NextGen

I wanted to love him, I remember wishing this with every bits of my body. I craved a feeling I wasn’t able to conceptualize rationally; to love somebody as much as in those great ancient tragedy novels I was so fond of. I knew the second this desire gave itself a birth in my mind, that it was wrong. We weren’t supposed to love this way. Somehow my brain disconnected from everything that used to tie me down to this oppressive system all of us humans were submitted to. How ugly was I… Although my body components were of multiple organic tissues and an endoskeleton was my supporting structure, it had been genetically modified in such matters, that I had nothing to do with those past authors whom I admired the literary work.

Technically, I was a robotic humanoid alternative concept, taking its external physical appearance from the human race population of a millennium ago… We, were. Designed by robots who aspired to look as their original creators, they made a hundred of us. They named us humans, but we aren’t, are we ? How could he ever love me back… The more I allowed myself into thinking this through, the further I was getting to a sense; as if the crave I felt was taking over rationality. I experienced this as an aching disorder. Could this be an error in my system, or was I meant to evolve from my primary form into something else, more than robotic and humanoid ? The next generation of people on earth.

To be continued… ?

These are the movies that gave me the best chills, and got me into liking the horror genre. I am not a fan of gore at all, I just like good old fashioned 90’s / 00’s, scary type. The kind after you see it, you’re still creeped out in the real life… at least, for me it’s how it feels. I can never get enough of the list below, they are my absolute faves.Scream & Paranormal Activity

I watch these two series marathon style, every time ! I am an absolute fan of Scream, so much that I even bought his costume and use it from time to time to scare my friends and family : and that face still works its magic and provokes good screams; I love the idea of Paranormal Activity so much, especially the way it’s filmed, it’s like close to what I have in mind for my short films in general.

The Blair Witch Project & Final Destination

The first time I saw Blair Witch, I was like “oh yes !” as if I was having an orgasm. It was just perfect, the idea, the filming of it all, everything… Final Destination is one of those movies that got me real creeped out in real life, so much that I became paranoid after watching it, checking out stuff and screaming to myself for no goddamn reason because I thought “that’s it, Death is coming for me !”I Know What You Did Last Summer & Urban Legend

The reason I started watching I Know What You Did Last Summer was obviously for Sarah Michelle Gellar, but that movie made me scream so high pitched that I scared my own parents. They wondered what was happening to me, and I was just like “well, you know… nothing, just watching a horror”. Urban Legend‘s great, the idea of some crazy murderer using urban legends as an inspiration to kill victims… super cool ! I adore it !
