I like movies such as Bone Collector, Seven, or even classic thrillers such as Les Diaboliques. One of my favorites has gotta be Spoorloos, outstanding movie. I also like movies with hauntings such as "The Haunting" and "The Shining". When it comes down to Sci-Fi or fantasy movies thats it. I will watch them to give em a go but the outcome is never pretty. I respect the movies and still give them credit because I will admit some of them are masterpeices but I just can't get into them. Does anyone else share this with me?

I get what you're saying, but no I don't think I totally agree. Sometimes I want that impossible element to things, makes it more scary to me. Really, who knows what is real and what isn't. The idea that what we know as "normal" may be fake or even not reality is disturbing, I like it!
However and maybe this is cause I'm a chick, I can't stand random boobs in horror movies. Okie, don't get all up in arms. Boobs are boobs, yay, but when they kind of pop up (no pun intended) it shocks me out of what I'm watching. Then I kind of lose my respect for the director/writer/whoever because I don't feel like they had enough faith in the horror and film making so they put in a couple few boobs.
*Possible spoiler* Hostel for instance. We waited for that to come on On Demand for EVER, then we watch it and the first half is boobs, sex, and couchie. Great if I'm sitting down to porn, but when I'm all geared up for cutting and beating and torture, I do not want to see a bunch of naked chicks. Especially when they're not being tortured. I have boobs, I know what they look like, I get it. I wanna see blood and guts and scary spooky stuff. The Ring, Children of the Corn, no boobs--but they scared the hell out of me.
Now boobs make sense sometimes. Friday the 13th=boobs, and in Carrie, it was a symbolic scene.
Whew, maybe I should go to the boobs page.
