The Horror!

I sort of see what you mean, WBoon. Fair enough. :laughing:

I think the attractiveness of horror films is being afraid. I love the tension as you hold onto your popcorn and wait for something bad to happen- because you know something will happen, as it’s a horror film, but a good horror film means that you don’t know when it will happen.

And the best horror films are the ones that are so bad, they’re funny. :laughing:

The ironic thing is, the classics have so many plot holes they would look bad to the ordinary fan. Of course, the true horror fan would know that it’s a classic, it was produced in the past, where people’s idea of a horror movie is some guy running around in a hockey mask chopping people up with a machete… I’ll stop. :laughing:

“Earth vs The Spider” starring Dan Aykroyd was not too bad, too, if not a little uncreative.

I have seen a few of the Halloween movies. THat gave me nightmares for a while. I also saw some asian horror films on crunchyroll.com. They got some good videos over there.

In the past, I always found the Asian horror films to be much horrifying than the American ones, probably because they were full of those ‘jump-out-and-scare-you’ moments. There was a term for such an element mentioned by an even more avid horror fan, but obviously I have forgotten what it is… :blush:

I agree with you WBoon. American horror movies now are more stupid funny than scary.

I’ve seen The Village and The Others. After that, I had no desire to delve deeper into the realms of scary movies. I respect the movies, I’m just a happy person and I enjoy things that make me laugh and feel all warm inside.

The interesting thing is that after I dwell into that world, I began to deter away from the comedies which I once loved…

Maybe this can be made as a research into the human mind. :laughing:

The most recent horror movie I saw was Saw 2. After the first 20 minutes, I decided that it wasn’t worth my time.

Ho ho, you have no idea, TSS. :laughing:

I will agree with you that Saw II started out a little slow in the beginning, but if you managed to catch the entire series… god, you’re in for a surprise. :wink:

They got like 4 saw movies with the 5th one comming out soon. I always think, “Is this going overboard a bit?”

It’s never overboard with Saw. :wink: At first, I was rather bored by so many of its movies coming out, too… that was until Saw III came out.

Trust me when I tell you this - Saw is a masterpiece.

I don’t know. Most of my friends say it gets stupider and stupider each time.

Ah, people can say a lot of things.

My friends said that Disney was gay, but does that make Walt a homosexual? :stuck_out_tongue: Kidding, but they did call the Disney movies that.

I guess you’re right. Saw 5 looks like it has potential to be a good one.

Saw V is going to be his best and his last. [spoil]I was not really satisfied when they replaced Kramer with Hoffman, but eh, might grab my throat with another twist again, who knows.[/spoil]

I second the nightmares. But not from Halloween. When I was young I saw Pet Cemetery. Talk about nightmares… wow. This one had me freaked for about a month.

Yeah, it’s always scary when you watch these things the first few times. I had my share of troubled sleep, too when I first started this fandom. :frowning:

When i look a horror movies i do kinda my shoz off like this is not scary and all but when it comes to sleeping, gee i’m getting freaked out just by saying it to you . :confused:
As for Saw my brother told me that there was a great story behind it …
But i never got time to watch them and now it’s sorta too late… :smiley:

Not really. you could still watch the entire film series on watch-movies.net… if you dare.

Make your choice, live or die. :laughing:
