Exorcist-wise... that's pretty much my story. Although there were certainly some other films that affected me, just not as much as Exorcist... thinking about Jaws (although I was criminally young when I saw it), Amelia/Trilogy Of Terror, Amityville Horror, Psycho, TCSM, Carrie 76 and The Howling. Actually, if Exorcist affected you, you might get some traction from these more modern films: Dead Silence, The Conjuring, Vacancy, Sinister.

argento and fulci know how to make you feel uncomfortable, which is something that happens when you are scared...

And yeah, feeling the horror has a lot to do with mood -- that is set and setting. Late night in the dark, without interruptions tends to be a good place to start. I there's a lot of folks that are desensitized, probably more to violence than real horror. Or ironically, some watch too much cinema that they've lost some ability to really get completely absorbed into a film... the constant cinematic stimuli is just all too familiar, like a shower that never stops, like white noise, to really empathize with the characters, to feel like your actually there, anymore. As far as gaillo and Fulci films, I think part of their effectiveness is they are unusual to 'english speaking' viewers. Fulci's The Beyond and Zombi 2 had a feel to them. I didn't personally find them scary, but decently horrific. I think Bava's Black Sabbath's third segment "The Drop of Water" was effectively scary. Last edited by Sculpt; 06-30-2021 at 08:59 PM. |

great points/observations made sculpt, and that segment from black sabbath was definitely effective!
sometimes scary is also how something looks as a definition and not necessarily what scares you personally, like a zombie looks scary, and if you think of it in real life its even scarier, but maybe the movie doesn't scare you...it really is about how absorbed into the film you become. Or if the subject matter hits in a way where there's something in your life that traumatized you, or scared you...maybe there's some good "psychology of horror movies" videos out there? |

No, it was not the face of a sick person. The face was not ugly. It was the usual face of an old witch, shown at close range. It looked damn frightening, especially the evil eyes.

I'd say The Ring, Insidious, The Thing (both original and remake), Sinister, Alien, and Us. There's so many great ones to pick from! Last edited by bogwitch; 01-21-2021 at 11:27 AM. |
