Aspiring filmmakers used to cut their teeth on R-rated horror movies; it was a genre that allowed them to show their skills of cinematic technique and audience manipulation (get 'em to scream).

FM: Have you had a chance to sit in on any undergraduate classes?HAZ: I’ve been sitting in on Douglas Melton...
...Cardamom Mountain range, a dense forest that houses endangered species like the Indochinese tiger and the Malayan sun bear, and used to be a Khmer Rouge stronghold. But a national highway built with help from the Thais, which includes four bridges spanning rivers once crossable only by ferry, has cut the drive to Koh Kong from the capital in half - to four hours...
