Does anyone hate horror movies?

Post Reply New Topic

I can't watch gory films I'll only have nightmares and it just plays on my mind for days, I don't mind the old style horror movies though, or thrillers that have a good storyline.

I couldn't watch "Nightmare on elm street" or "Halloween" but I can watch "Psycho" or "IT".

No it is nothing to do with Autism, it's just your personal opinion; you don't like horror films.

I can only watch films that aren't too boring. I like films that have children in, but doesn't necessarily have to be a children's film. But lately I have gone on to horror films. I just want to scare myself. Since I went on antidepressants I can't seem to get the creeps from supernatural things like I used to. Other things do scare me, like a building burning down. But the supernatural side of life doesn't seem to scare me - although it does interest me a LOT.

I hate horror films and can't watch or listen to them. I can watch Sherlock Holmes, or mild 'who-done-its' but that's about it.

They're okay, but I'm weird about horror movies. I don't like gorefests and I'm not into the popular franchises. I'd rather laugh at a bad horror film than watch a good one. For every Trick 'r Treat and Memory, I have several stinkers like Zombiez, Room 33, Dark Harvest II, and Secrets of the Clown.

I'm not a fan of the horror genre, particularly, but I am actually recording a 1957 horror film on tv tonight.

I've just set my recorder & then come straight to this forum ( for the first time in weeks ) and immediately spotted this thread. Coincidentally!

It's called Night of the Dead ( aka Curse of the Dead ) & it is supposed to be excellent.

But that remains to be seen.

^^^pretty much that - enjoy a good thriller, especially some of the older thiller movies. Can't stand gore though - at all.

Don't go in for modern graphic horror movies either.
Suspense, and psychological thrillers are fine. But graphic splatter movies I just dont get.

Have hung with buddies who are into splatter videos. Not deranged individuals. But I just dont "get it"- what the emotional payoff is in watching excessive gore.

Just staying informed, and reading the newspaper about ISIS, or reading real recent or not so recent history ( Bosnia, the Holocaust, Cambodia, etc) gives me all the blood and gore I can digest. Dont need to see fictional movies of it to get more of it. I just dont get the appeal.

Can not stand any kind of horror movie or anything portraying cruelty to animals. Do not like to view any kind of violence, it really gets to me and I have a hard time getting the visual out of my head. Even the sound from such a movie going on in the other room will make me shut my ears.

You just described me. I get horrible night terrors. Sometimes, I won't sleep for a week because if something scares me enough, it's like my mind can't stop obsessing or panicking over what I had just seen. My dad was watching Saving Private Ryan, and I'm like telling him not to watch it because that movie is gory at times. >< I don't care much for war movies, but my dad doesn't care because he's probably seen his share of it in real life as a vietnam veteran.

Horror or not, I can't stand any of this stuff. It bothers me in such a severe way that it can be weeks before my sleep schedule returns to normal. Most people don't understand how it can bother me so badly, so I usually have to tell them it has to do with my quick obsession and attachment to certain scenes. Most of the time, I have no problem watching anything that has a ghost or something in it. Just as long as it's not gory or something like that. I love stuff that involves ghosts and spirits, so I have no problem with that.

I can't say that I'm a huge fan of them... I'm an anxious enough person without horror movies giving my subconscious ideas.

I love the Alien films.
Aliens is the best one.

I avoid watching horror movies, but The Conjuring and The Woman In Black were great horror movies.

Is anyone looking forward to seeing Kevin Smith's new movie Tusk, also a horror movie?

Actors are funny when they are losing control.

Yes. Why would I pay money to go to a movie filled with screaming people (the characters in the movie, as well as the people in the theater,) and have to see people being murdered in gruesome ways?
