Re: Things you just don't understand why people like

[dethtoll]

Don't feel too bad because you don't like horror movies. It's not for everyone. There doesn't really seem to be any real consensus on why some people love horror movies, but my theory is it has to do with a mix of adrenaline rush and cringe entertainment. What's funny is, I've been watching horror movies/playing horror games for so long that very little actually affects me anymore. The most I get is the occasional cold chill up my back when playing Afraid of Monsters, which is still the last true scary game for me despite having played it like 15 times. Probably because it's so lo-fi; the newer games with all their fancy graphics don't do it for me.

There's also an artistic/academic argument to be made with some works. There are some horror movies that I love that I would not classify as 'fun;' Videodrome is a good example in which a really creepy flick about a sleazy cable exec who discovers a pirate BDSM/snuff porn broadcast and tries to seek the source, but the real meat of the film is in its exploration of the relationship between television and its audience. Horror can be a good method of exploring the human condition.

I do get what you mean in your second paragraph. I can appreciate that good horror films are an art, even if I don't enjoy watching them personally. And some movies that are just plain good movies simply happen to be scary - some of those I can manage, if the plot is engaging enough and not the simple formula of a group of people getting picked off one by one in horrible ways.

I haven't watched much horror, but I think about this sometimes. I think that really good horror (i.e. horror that is complex, smart, and horrifying) is incredibly difficult to create, and I'm always extremely impressed when someone manages to do it. In fact, it's almost like there's a magic too it, since horrifying (or deeply disturbing) someone is a very strong and also difficult effect to evoke in most people.
