Can't go there
 
Was there ever a horror movie that you just could not watch because it just seemed too scary?

For me it was Chainsaw massacre.

No.

nightmare_of _death 12-14-2009 02:45 PM

Nope, no movie has been to scary for me.

urgeok2 12-14-2009 02:45 PM

nope.

i wont watch (or haven yet watched) cannibal holocaust yet - but not because it's scary - because i dont want to see tha animals get killed.

accidentally saw a couple of seconds of the turtle and almost lost my lunch

Let me guess your a vegetarian?

Anyway some other reasons that I don't watch some horror movies is because of the suggestive themes that go too far. Like Doom, I only watched it once and never will again. I will watch some that have suggestive themes. I am Christian and don't watch too many that deal with witch craft either.

I want to watch ghost stories but the last time I watched ghost hunters my parents gave me a long lecture. Even though I live in an apartment now I am not too sure.

I can't watch any Saw movies.
Never have, never will...I even turn the channel on the ads for it.

I was also disturbed from cannibal holocaust...not scared...there's a difference, IMO I turned it off the first time,but actually completed it the second try,l with watching it.

I don't get scared with a movie,but they can disturb me,I always push myself to see how far I can go.To see if I can get scared,or to see what does disturb me.

Nope...I have some creepy recommendations, but I've finished every movie I've ever started. Haven't had any issues yet. Maybe when I was really young, I found something to be frightening. But I've watched those films since, and have had no lasting issues. Same goes for any current films.

Elvis_Christ 12-14-2009 04:50 PM

Cannibal Holocaust didn't bother me as a lot of other people. I thought the animal killings were essential to the themes of the film. I thought it was a dig at all the seedy Mondo flicks... but lets face it the film was being just as exploitative.

I found Franju's Blood of the Beasts documentary more disturbing than Cannibal Holocaust. But its a healthy dose of reality most people choose to ignore.

But back on topic... nothing is really to much for me to watch knowing that its staged/fiction. I enjoy getting disturbed every no and then nothing quite beats having a movie move you in that way. The eyeball scene (and overall tone & intentions) in The Devil's Experiment and the fucked up bathtub scene in Mordum two scenes that really fucked my shit up and I was questioning why I watch tiwisted films.

The headshot scene in the documentary Executions takes the cake for the most disturbing scene I've ever witenessed.

Doc Faustus 12-14-2009 07:32 PM

The Manipulator with Mickey Rooney is one I had to watch several times to get to the end just because I find it so disturbing, inhuman and off.

Bit of a dickhead thing to say...

I usually only turn movies off when they're boring me.
If a scary movie is in fact scaring me (which by God never seems to happen anymore) I'll consider that a gift of sorts and stick to it like glue.

Dante'sInferno 12-14-2009 07:45 PM

I Spit on your grave. Because I can't stand rape scenes or anything having to do with it.

friday13thfan 12-14-2009 08:02 PM

No. I'll watch anything, the more fucked up it looks the better chance of me watching it. Watching Black Devil Doll now actually. Maggots get to me a bit though. Prob cause in life the smell of them makes me vomit and when i see them I think of the smell and get dizzy but still wont stop me from watching a movie.

Ferox13 12-14-2009 11:46 PM

I bought this some time back and I don't the have the heart to watch this film again:

Elvis_Christ 12-14-2009 11:47 PM

Yeh I've skipped checking that one out because it looked like it'd bum me out too much.

newb 12-15-2009 03:32 AM

It wasn't so much the animal killings in cannibal holocaust....but they killed REAL people. That was kind of disturbing.:eek:

deodato said that it was just people doing what they do ...
he still doesnt think it was that big a deal .. and in that context i dont either .. i just cant watch an animal get hurt in real life - or people for that matter.

i'd much rather live vicariously through the art of special effects.

psycho d 12-15-2009 06:00 AM

i actually turned off Funny Games (2007) a couple of times. i could not stand the pressure though and ended up finishing it. That movie really got to me as i felt rather manipulated by it. i think that may have been the point though. Other than turning off movies that were a stupid waste of time, i have yet to turn one off because it was too scary. Ashe.

Wait. I thought that was just a rumor. To add to the controversy.

The "Road To Hell" segment was real human killings. But I believe that was the extent of it....

Then you must remember the big to do about that movie. One of the funniest threads in HDC history. Perhaps someone could dig it out....I'm thinking it was closed or deleted.

I was temporarily absent from this site for reasons I cant recall during that thread. Wish I was here though.
