lisab said:Blair Witch Project was just moderately scary, up until the last scene - it was terrifying! But to understand that scene, you have to carefully watch the whole movie.

Seriously. It was quite disturbing, but I didn't get it.
Jimmy Snyder said:Psycho. My father took me to see it when I was ten. I was scarred for life. What was he thinking? The shower scene gets a lot of play, but the one that scared me most was when the guy got stabbed at the top of the stairs.
Here's a bit of family history that gets retold from time to time. We went to to see a movie and my 4 year old sister was so scared that she hid under the seat. It was Bambi.

I hated that movie. When it came out, my friend thought it would be cool to tell me that the story behind the film was true, in other words, it really was footage found in the woods, which sounded awesome. When I went to see it, not being a moron, i realized this was obviously not true (amongst other things, no one would hold a camera like they did if they were running in terror.) I was completely underwhelmed and disappointed. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if my friend hadn't spent the night talking about how awesome it was.lisab said:Blair Witch Project was just moderately scary, up until the last scene - it was terrifying!

Well, not a lot of people found Alien ridiculous or stupid.Galteeth said:Horror movies are like that. What some people find scary and cool others find ridiculous and stupid.

However, I concur with your statement. Usually, it's a razor's edge. If it doesn't work for you then the house of cards falls apart and all you see are the flaws.
Yeah, that was good. But I was younger.FrancisZ said:"Ghost Story" staring Fred Astaire, Douglas Fairbanks Jr, John Houseman and Melvyn Douglas...
A scary movie is usually considered scary due to its ability to evoke fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in the audience. This can be achieved through a combination of factors such as the plot, characters, setting, and use of sound and visual effects.
While there is no formula for a perfect scary movie, some common elements that are often present in successful ones include a well-developed plot, relatable characters, a creepy setting, and effective use of suspense and jump scares.
Yes, watching scary movies can have both short-term and long-term psychological effects on individuals. In the short-term, it can cause increased heart rate, adrenaline rush, and feelings of fear and anxiety. In the long-term, it can desensitize individuals to violence and make them more prone to experiencing nightmares and anxiety disorders.
There are several reasons why people may enjoy watching scary movies. For some, it can be a way to experience fear in a controlled and safe environment. Others may enjoy the adrenaline rush and excitement that comes with being scared. Additionally, some people may find the themes and messages in scary movies thought-provoking and intriguing.
While the primary purpose of scary movies is to scare and entertain viewers, they can also have a positive impact on individuals. They can serve as a form of catharsis, allowing individuals to release their own fears and anxieties. Additionally, they can also provide a sense of relief and empowerment when the protagonist overcomes the scary situation.
