I love movies and TV drama, and I have a fairly broad and eclectic taste. But I’m usually much more interested in the psychology of inner demons than those created enemy artefacts found in sci-fi, disaster and adventure movies. Films where the heroes are battling against external monsters, aliens, dubious supernatural weidos or big dangerous animals are far less appealing to me than films that delve deeply into the characters’ minds and explore the deep challenges and rewards of being human.
As Charles Darwin expressed so well, 'We stopped looking for monsters under our
bed when we realised that they were inside us.' The monsters inside even the
seemingly ordinary men and women usually strike me as far more scary and
compelling and thrilling than just about any outside monster
