It is all about how you watch a movie and your mindset i feel.
It is impossible to be scared in the company of others,i always watch alone.And i never have any lights on,not even a side light.
I would also include age in the equation,the younger you are the less you appreciate the what the filmmaker is trying to achieve.many young people,not all but many want to see blood and gore and have no interest in plots or characterization but want to get to the juicy stuff,this always fails.
The terrifying days of horror where back in the seventies i feel,the modern era does not have the same effect as the true masters once did.Today's movies are all about titillation and gore,which is no bad thing but it isn't scary.
