I've never turned off a movie or been unable to watch it.

That said, when I saw Jaws as a little kid (6-7 years old) I was always wondering if a Shark was going to get me. Even when I got up a night in my house to go to the bathroom I always thought he might jump through the floor or the toilet.

Occasionally certain movies will hit me a certain way and creep me out. When I watched Sinister a few months ago the atmosphere gave me the creeps and even though I guessed what was going to happen all throughout the movie, it still made me uncomfortable and made it tough to watch.

I used to be really into Gore and Realism but as has been mentioned I guess I have also gained empathy as I've aged, and I now find it hard to watch unless it is Comedic in nature. Dead Alive is over the top and doesn't bother me but watching the guys ankle snap in Saw III bothers me something awful.

Torture also bothers me now. Probably 15-20 years ago I first watched Salo: The 120 Days Of Sodom and the torture sequence at the end was fairly hard to watch. I don't know if I could watch it now. I watched a movie last year called Boy Meets Girl (1994). That was probably the closest I came to turning off a movie.
