I'm a horror pussy. unless it's some totally ridiculous blood splatter nonsense (and therefor funny to me) I can't even watch it alone... but I'm trying!

I just hate the trying to make you jump moments which frankly i think is just kinda lame and too easy to resort to. Especially in a theater where you can't escape the screen and sound, you WILL fucking jump even if you knew it was coming and it's not even particularly a scary scene. I have this technique now where when i know it's coming, i look at a corner of the screen.. You can sorta still see what happens but without focusing on it so half the time i don't jump.

Yeah jump scares make horror movies not fun at all. It's just cheap.
I love everything horror but I don't like being subjected to basically a steady stream of those screamer e-mails people used to send |

I haven't even tried to see any "jumpy" film in a theater for over a decade.
since Hannibal. that was so utterly embarrassing. dinner before the film, and then comes this scene where they open his head with a scalpel, and I had to leave, thought I'd puke in the cinema. |

A good tense psychological horror film is hard to come by these days

I think horror novels are so much better at getting the right type of scare

it's not odd to me, but I think Adam Underdog Rifkin is a joke, so...
but it wasn't my intention to start an argument over the quality of something you apparently enjoy - and I simply don't. |

i've been pretty open on the board that i really have no real taste for cinema. definitely a dilettante.
95% of movies i watch is used as a means to fall asleep. |

I enjoy eating, I couldn't care less that I'm an haute cuisine dilettante.
(that's the worst comparison I managed, I'm proud of myself.) |

i guess i'm just curious about where the kneejerk reaction came from - this is all new to me for the most part. i mean i have my fair share of hipster made vhs tapes but this seems to be very next next level compared to that.

why are you touchy about being called a HIPSTER? UH? Sounds like a typical hipster reaction.

I just wanted to use that word, since I never do.
the kneejerk reaction comes from having spent too much time with a bunch of art school students praising how "bold" and whatnot Guiseppe Andrews stuff is. the same people calling masterpieces "outdated" - Hitchcock for example. I had these little fucks sitting in my living room, arguing why they never even watched a single Hitchcock film, but know all about "Guiseppe." I remember one of those 20somethings said David Lynch is "just a director" but Guiseppe is "a true artist - and he does everything himself, muti-talent!" I hate these people. |

I watched Toad Road last night. I enjoyed it. Not sure if I can recommend it though. It's a really slow burn indie horror/thriller. Normally I would hate this type of film but this one worked for me for some reason.
