How do you react to horror movies?

Post Reply New Topic

I love horror movies. Nowadays, I tend to like the psychological horror better than the slasher films like when I was younger, but I still dig the Elm Street movies because at least they have some creativity in them. I'm not a fan of this big remake trend though.

I also don't like the Saw movies, but not because they scare me or disturb me; they just never appealed to me for some reason. If you want a similar movie related to the theme of "snuff" films that relies primarily on suspense and not gore, I would recommend Vacancy. Great movie.

They are my obsession! I adore them. Just about every single week I rent more and more.
Don't like to watch them with other people for the first time for the most part because they tend to get distracted and horror movies bring on the ever-so-irritating spoken aloud hypothesizes of they induce that annoying talk-over-the-dialogue-until-later-in-the-movie-they're-whinging-about-not-knowing-what's-happening.
OR when people try and point out the scientific inaccuracies as a flaw in the film when it doesn't matter because the script writers are directors are merely that and not researchers ]<

Am rarely scared these days - there's not much I haven't seen.
Can be pretty sensitive to a few jumps but they pass - which is the flaw in most American produced horror movies today as it's not the build up of suspense that makes a horror movie stay with you and become known - but its concept.

I love them. I love getting scared and jumping when something jumps at me.

Nothing is more horrifying than seeing an eight-and-a-half year old thread rising from the grave!

I am pretty fine with horror movies. However recent woody allen movie made me walk out of the theater because it made me too anxious.

I dont really react at all. Pictures taken at 24/30/60 fps flickering on a screen cannot harm me. Why should i be scared? I remember when i was younger i allways thought "Ok, when it brakes through the glass, then im scared". I get completely bored out on movies like paranormal activity or "cabin in the woods"-style movies. On rare occasions a jumpscare gets me, but thats for a second or two...

I really like horror movies, but I'm very picky about what I choose to watch. Many of them are quite bad.

If I get the urge to be grossed out I just read the newspaper, or read a history book.Don't understand why anyone would pay to see made up gruesomeness in a movie when you can get all of the gruesomeness you can handle from accounts of real atrocities (both current, and historic).

The scarier the better IMO, Its gotta be a good one though, some were so terrible I've ended up switching them off after 15 minutes.

i don't usually get psychologically scared, but, i oftentimes literally jump out of my seat because of the loud noises and sudden movements rather than the actual meaning of what's happening.
it probably seems normal from the outside haha

Some of my favorite movies are classic horror movies. Especially the old Universal series (Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, Mummy, etc.) from the 1930s-1940s. I usually watch Svengoolie each week to get my fix of them.

I can't take the new ones with torture and all of that. It's just too much. It makes me just feel the evil inside me smiling and I'm watching someone be horrifically mutilated or even worse. I can't do it. I wont.

I also don't do demon possession. At all. But I believe that s**t to be real and think you can attract things by watching that stuff. Call me crazy if you will.

But if it's like 80's slasher stuff, Friday the 13th and things like that they're amusing because of how bad the are. And they're easy to watch. Just something to stare at when you're not much in the mood to actually watch something.

Overall I'm not terribly into movies period. But horror is certainly toward the bottom of my list.

I started watching horror movies around the age of 6, at that age they were traumatizing and scary but after I started watching rifftrax around 11 years old, I realized how stupid most of them are and started seeing a pattern.

They usually are a low piece of entertainment for me now, formulaic and predictable with annoying jump scares and unrealistic acting and situations, that being said I go on a binge of horror movies around Halloween time. My favourite horror film of all time is the Blair witch project.

Ps. The Ring still scares me to this day though I still can't watch it or look at static on TV *shutters*

I don't like the ones that have the characters get tortured. I feel bad for them and sometimes I imagine that it's me that's getting tortured and mutilated. I like some of the suspense horror movies though.

I am terrified of them! >.<

The more violent, the better. Generally, though, I go for the unwatchable films like 'Melancholie der Engel', 'Slaughtered Vomit Dolls', 'Martyrs', 'A Serbian Film', 'Cannibal', 'Begotten', really anything that would make 99% of movie goers hurl. I also watch 'Best Gore' but that's a real site, not fake so it's extremely upsetting. Government officials have to expose themselves to those kinds of films all the time because they have to know about the depth of depravity being perpetrated around the world in order to send help.
