I don't know what it is . . . I usually find a movie that is recommended by a friend that will break me.
I, to this day, cannot find a horror movie that actually makes me scared. I'm not even a jumper.
I guess I'm just too good at knowing it is not real, which is why I tend to gravitate to the ones based on true stories. I'm up for anything though.
Well, if any of you have any suggestions I'll see what I can do and then if I rent that movie I'll let you know how it affected me.WaffleCheese wrote:

If you want to get scared, find things you are afraid of in real life, scared of and watch about it if you dare, period. I personally think horror movies are simply digusting.

Have you seen the Haunting in Connecticut? Based on a true story. More creepy than scary to think what these people were trying to do.

The first Halloween movie scared me.
The newer ones are too "technical" and silly.
And the Texas Chain Saw Massacre was scary.
And Helter Skelter was scary.
And the "SAW" movies are horribly creepy.
And Natural Born Killers.
But hey I'd rather you or anyone watch something good and thought-provoking like the Passion of the Christ, or Flywheel, or Facing the Giants, or Joshua.
But whatever.- 17

if you dont believe in that, read:
"Possessed, The True Story Of An Exorcism." It was written by Thomas B. Allen Try to review visual coveries about Palestina, Iran, Afganistan
and a touch of Congo, Guinea and Ethiopia
Or simply a coverage about obesity in America, for instance.
That's scary allright, man !Well I was scared of Jurassic Park. Let your imagination loose and feel that you are running away from those huge teeth....
I am the same way Waffle dude. I have seen some of the most messed up films--especially some of the asian ones.
Yes, I know it is not real. That's part of why it doesn't scare me. But, of course people know Mike Myers from Halloween is not real or the story, but still get scared. Some people I think just have a more vivid imagination than me. There are more than just the realistic element that scares folks I'm sure.
I LOVE horror movies though. I still say Paranormal Activity was crapola.- 85

Yes, it was actually the last one I saw. I thought it was hilarious.
Plus, I read about the 'real events'
Pretty much the family made it up. All have different versions, and they lived there for 2 years before 'anything happened' Google it, it's actually pretty interesting.

Sometimes it's a matter of being too aware that its all pretend; but people who have commented on the increasingly violent/real-seeming movies that have been coming out in the last several years have just made people who have seen a lot of them "immune" to them. Movie-creators keep trying to top the last bunch, but it's gone on for so long now it's pretty hard to top a lot of what's already been done. So, your quest to be scared at the movies may be a futile one.
My kids went to see that new "Paranormal Activity" with my sisters. They said it was pretty creepy!

Well maybe it's a good thing WaffleCheese that you haven't seen a movie that scares you, because if you did, it might scare you to death.

Movies billed as being "based on true events" are almost always sensationalized to the point of removing anything real. One should always expect a level of fantasy in film.
Movies are generally not very scary to me either. Creepy, occasionally, but never frightening.- 85

Some movies on the docket:
The carriers
Paranormal activity,
and the new Alien one coming out in November.
Any reviews? To me, there is nothing that is not real. Must be part of why science fiction / fantasy is my favorite genre. I live any book I read (insurance textbooks gratefully excluded), ditto for any movie I watch.
So I surely can't help you one bit--no point of overlap whatsoever!

Hmmm...that's a tough one since I don't know what horror films you've seen. However, if you haven't tried psychological horror films yet, then I would recommend "Vertigo", "Psycho", or any of Hitchcock's other horror films that might scare you.
Or if that doesn't work, you can try seeing the "Exorcist" and "Jaws." Those films were pretty scary.
Then there are some foreign and independent horror films, like "Ringu" and "Blair Witch Project." Neither of those films are based on real events, but they're portrayed in such a way, that you can't help but feel the authenticity of the terror itself, within both those films. Anyway, I hope that helps.- 85

I've seen vertigo, and I kept thinking, just .... stay on the ground? Jaws was more funny to me.
I have heard of a movie I need to watch 'In bruges?

Any reviews?Paranormal Activity, as I've voiced on here prior, was horrid. Not scary. Maybe if you believe strongly in ghosts/possession/demons, but it is a poor copy of Blair Witch (which, atleast gave me a creepy feeling). Don't waste your money.
Cannibal Holocaust made me cry...well, that's because they killed real animals. Truly horrifying.
