Telika: Good, bad, doesn't matter. Cheap tricks or clever tricks, I don't care.
Unrealistic horror supernatural efficient thingy. Like, uh, hmm...
What worked on me ? Okay, "The Shining" worked. "The exocist" works. "The grudge" did too, I admit, and so did "the ring". And "Darkness" and "Rec". Long ago, "Evil Dead" and "Prince of Darkness" terrified me, but nowadays I'm not sure.
Oh yeah "the changeling" and "communion" had also petrified me, somehow.
Is there anything recent, that might function on me ? I became a bit jaded. And gore itself (the "ewww" factor) tends to bore me.
But I need something to keep my attention away from reality for a while, and scary movies do it the most economic way.
LoboBlanco: So you haven´t watched "The Thing" (1982) or "The Fog" (1980) ooooohh!..... Unrealistic horror supernatural efficient thingy. Like, uh, hmm...

By the way, I love horror movies but never got interested in the ones that called themselves "horror" movies but were just gore like Jason movies, I watched some of them yes, but at the time I was most afraid of how the next person was going to be chopped than feeling afraid of the unknown.....
...though with real horror movies I was afraid of what unexpected thing was going to happen next and these movies delivered, plus I like movies like "And then there were none" so "The Thing" kinda fulfills both ranks. "The Fog" must have been the union of three things I "like", "zombies" and "pirates" and "horror".
