thoughts on horror movies?

My....mirror? Alternate self?

Hm.

Reader,

It largely depends on the type of horror. Pointless jump scares are dull, and unneeded. Gore-fests do not bother me particularly, but I can not watch them with Cykes-Dono, as it is upsetting to her. though Fool-bright and I do enjoy picking apart inaccurate scenes in them, it's amazing how many ignore how blood actually works.

Phycological horror is, at times, a fascinating exploration of the human mind. To plunge into the abyss and see what lurks underneath. Unfortunately, it is not always as easy to climb back out. For this reason, I tend to steer clear except for occasional films, lest my paranoia become crippling. Of course, that is only if it is done well, not poorly. A poorly written film is easily cast aside.

That said, anything with faces disappearing or being removed is not welcome in our home.

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts, and if you have any you particularly like. Are you a great watcher of these films?

Unshaken,
