Do you like Horror movies?

Post Reply New Topic

I've noticed that i do. Even when i was a kid i liked em. I think i enjoyed them because i got some kind of reaction from them. to this day, i'll watch horror all day/night over any other type of film. most people can only take so much but i feel settled and calm while watching them. perhaps it is because (as people have suggested) i can relate to both parties. the good guys (victims) vs. the bad guys (monsters). sometimes i'm more thrilled by watching the "people" die then the monsters. this probrably makes too much sense to horror-lovers.

I watched a bit of the Dukes of Hazzard (the movie, not the show) the other day. Does that count?

I like films where the horror is created by atmosphere and tension.2 of the best examples are old black and white classics "I Walked With A Zombie" and "Night Of The Demon". There's no violence in either but they're pretty scary ! I find some of the modern stuff is too graphic and sets out to shock rather than scare.

In my own opinion, there are 2 kinds of horror movies.

Movies that are meant to be scary (but are not to me) but are good in general.

Movies that are meant to be scary (but are not to me) but are a pile of s***.

Most of them are the second kind of horror movies these days, so no is your answer.

Also, horror movies these days rip off from old movies, and remake old cult classics over and over and over.

Directors, and writers out there don't just let the original movie die out!

Stop ripping an original off over and over!

I think now directors and writers have run out of ideas...with making horrror movies.

I like the sort of horror films made in the early 70's which had a real eerie atmosphere, the ones made today focus more on gore and special effects, saying that I enjoyed the first SAW movie. I think the original Omen is a terrifying film, there are some brilliant Japanese horror films too.

Horror movies give me a bad feeling, but I like Silence of the Lambs because of the criminology.

I love them. Except for the random loud noises they like to put into them. I hate that part.

They have to have a plot. If it's just "random monster kills random clueless people repeatedly", then forget it--I'm off doing something else.

I don't really like TV anyway. Half the time I can't keep track of who's who; and movies are so very slow in conveying information that I just don't focus on them well.

I like some of them. A good plot is a must, I don't really like the ones made to show pointless gore and teenage lust, those are a stupid waste of my time, unless they remind me of the 80s, I love everything 80s (reminds me of my childhood). I'd like to name some of the ones I really like, but I'm so horrible with titles I can't remember any of them right now. People were mentioning Saw, which I thought was okay, but frustrating for me to watch because I had it (and the sequel) figured out before they were halfway over. But they were a lot less obvious than some of the other crappy movies out there horror or not. I'll try to remember some of my favs....
