Nowadays, people make the mistake of thinking a movie has to be like 'Saw" or "Hostel" to be scary, that the torturing and gore has to start in the first 30 minutes or it's "boring". Ah such is life.....

I could not agree with you more! I don't feel that killing and gore is what makes a movie scary, I think it's the whole "creepy" effect that makes a movie actually make your skin crawl or give you the chills.
Examples:
The Exorcist
The Shining
The Ring
The Grudge
etc, etc, etc.
I think that when you're able to become a part of the movie and you can connect with the character(s), then you will most likely feel the scare factor that the movie is meant to produce.
