Maniac (specifically the Elijah Wood remake) is the only horror movie in recent memory to make me feel really uncomfortable, something about the POV and the way it didn't cut away from the kills was just... It makes you complicit in it. Especially that first scene ("Please don't scream, you're so beautiful" and then he shoves the knife through her chin), I think I stopped breathing for a few seconds.

I get that uncomfortable feeling and I like it, but it doesn’t last in any other way other than “ohh poo poo dude this movie is rooough!” Like a badge of honor

It’s weird for me when this conversation occasionally pops up because I was always more unnerved by the psychology of horror than the blood and guts themselves. I grew up on the south side of Chicago so I’ve seen people get shot and stabbed and all types of other crazy poo poo. Like, I saw my first dead body when I was around 8, it was some dude who was beat to death in front of the bar my grandma would send me to tell my grandpa that dinner was ready. It wasn’t scary, it just was. I can get myself worked up to feel a little spooked maybe, but scared? Nah. ruddiger fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Apr 25, 2020 |

My roomate doesn't like horror movies, but it does make me wonder if plebs worry that Jason Vorhees is hiding in the closet after watching Friday the 13th. I can also say that I feel like I'm a lot more collected about being locked in with the COVID than a lot of my peers who are plotting to avoid social distancing.

This is how my imagination always has and still does run wild. Less that I think literally Jason is about to pop out and get me but more I'll be walking around the house in the dark and think, "Wow, it would really suck if some poo poo like that happened huh?" and it gets my hackles up a little. But, I logically know none of that is gonna happen.

The last time I can remember a film actually scaring me is the Amityville horror with Ryan Reynolds when I was still a teenagers. I can't get scared really anymore. I can feel tense or uncomfortable but not really scared.

Last movie to scare me was Audition when it came out because it helped me realize I was objectifying women too much. I like horror because it puts people in situations that cut right down to the core of what that person is, including their fight or flight reflex

The last time my horror hog made so much as a squeal was when I was watching Hereditary for the first time on a good projector, loud as gently caress. I guess I watch horror movies mainly to see confirmation of my worldview that the world is a dark forest, nothing is true and everything is permitted.

Yeah I don't mean to say horror movies don't engage me now or I'm to grown up for them. I found Hereditary deeply unsettling and intriguing but I wouldn't say it "scared" me. I didn't stay up at night scared to close my eyes like I did when I was a kid.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (all versions) still does it to where I can't watch any of them.

It's hard to compare the filmgoing experience to when you were a kid as well, because kids have no expectations or cynicism. For kids everything is a visceral experience unmediated by years of mental baggage. They're not projecting as much of themselves onto the movie, they're just taking it in in its purest form. I guess that's why group viewings can sometimes elevate a movie, because they introduce an unpredictable outside element that forces us to actually engage with the material in ways beyond our comfort zones.

Lol not with anxiety it doesn’t. Literally everything scares me. Me remembering how embarrassingly nerdy I was in front of Bruce Campbell frightens me more than any movie ever made. I still get cold sweats from that.

I'm terrified of jumpscares so any cheap horror can scare me into watching from in between my fingers. What I think is actually the physical sign of something being scary to me is goosebumps (not that causing this makes them better horror movies in my mind) Some that I distinctly remember: The Ring - "What do you mean, you HELPED her?" Fuuuuck Tale of Two Sisters - two scenes there actually, so as much of a convoluted mess the movie is as a whole, it actually got me twice. Bed and kitchen sink. Us - The beginning with the hall off mirrors doppelganger. In retrospect, I think Us is a much better horror movie than Get Out. It Follows: Goosebumps AFTER the movie. Made the concept of someone walking towards you on the street something to be wary of.

Oh man the "I saw her face" scene in The Ring got me good when I was, what, 18ish? Whenever it came out and I saw it in the theater.

I find the (early, 1-3) Paranormal Activity films to be fairly scary as there’s elements in there which take strongly from real life accounts of hauntings.

I like Paranormal Activity. I think the scares get less each time with diminishing returns but they seem to know that and shift the focus to the absolutely insane meta plot. Which is like... I dunno. But its definitely something. They also try and change up the ways you can see things with different setups and gimmicks as they go, which are hit and miss. But like, I think for a series that started minimalist and really got squeezed for every last drop I think they really do try.

Timeless Appeal posted:Not invalidating the misogynistic criticism, but it is directed by a lady! Didn’t realize that, that’s interesting. A lot of it came across as incel-level poo poo, like the guys shooting up a room full of naked cheerleaders while laughing and calling them sluts. Maybe at the time that was something that could only happen in sleazy horror movies but it hits a little too close to reality today.

Hmm maybe I’ll give the series a watch this week. I’m watching Night of the Demons for the first time. drat this Judy character is annoying and useless. The Alice in a Wonderland garb isn’t helping either. At least Alice was headstrong and got poo poo done.
