Horror is a genre that is often open to interpretation. Some entries are easy to spot while others camouflage themselves under the banner of drama, mystery, or thriller. For me, movies like Requiem for a Dream, We Need to Talk About Kevin and Blue Velvet are, without a doubt, horror movies. Blue Velvet, in particular, I would call a nightmare movie. Everything from the color palette, to the soundtrack combine to provoke a feeling of dread in the audience. Something is not quite right and we know it, like the feeling from a nightmare that doesn’t quite fade upon waking. Make no mistake, Koko-Di Koko-Da is a horror film but more than that, it is a nightmare come to life.
