Re: OP

I love horror movies (both good and bad) but I know what you mean about a lot of them not being scary. I usually respond to the music and the setting by being creeped out or shocked when I am supposed to be (at least the first time) but sometimes I just get amused instead. In fact nothing is funnier than a bad horror movie.

That being said, for years I couldn't make it all the way through Pet Cemetery. Something about children and pets and people coming back from death wrong just freaked me out. As a kid I was terrified of Watcher in the Woods even though its not really meant to be that scary, but the suspense and the imagery in it really got in my head.

Usually, for me to be truly scared by a movie I need to feel an element of believability , like it could happen to me (even if it's fantastical). I also need to not be shown everything. Too many movies ruin the effect by showing me a monster when the unknown was much more terrifying. As much as I love a good slasher flick, a suspenseful film is more likely to stick with me long term.

All that aside, I love Jurassic Park and I love the way it took this magical thing and twisted it in such a scary way. Excellent film. I really want to rewatch it now.

Right? Right? They show the monster and then it's less creepy. Pet Cemetery was more along the lines of horrifying than frightening, though, for me. I was not a fan of that one. :( That having been said, explorations of Coming Back Wrong (if done right, and I can't think of an example at the moment) can be really good.

Yes, go rewatch! :D Go forth!
