Thinking about how different things frighten or horrify different folks is amazing.
I remember the almost suicide in Unbearable Lightness of Being. I remember the dread I felt throughout practically any Camus novel. The Stranger in particular. Kafka to some degree...
In movies I admit to getting tense and falling for jump scares, even in action flicks.
Now things like Irreversible... those are truly disturbing. I have steered clear of them as I matured... I must have been somewhat of a masochist as a young adult... I expect Breaking the Waves and Dancer in the Dark, both Trier movies, would disturb me hugely.
Yeah. Not canonical horror, I know.
