We are no longer scared by the simple things, no longer does the vampire, werewolf or slasher scare us we have seen too many movies to scare us

The film makers have come up with the idea of using situations where we feel unsafe

When we are alone, unable to get help, responsable for others, someone has escaped from an assylum etc

Why do they make people jump rather than scare them, simple...

Throw a cat through a window... someone jumps

Now without the situation of helplessness... try and think of the last time you was really scared by the monster or killer

I look forward to a time when something does scare me... the last time i was 7, it was Michael Myers
Strangely enough, the only 2 movies that actually scared me are fairly recent. One of them is even a very good movie [and on second viewing, I laughed at myself for being scared], but the other is certainly one of the greatest horror films in a long time. In that oreder, Signs and The Blair Witch Project.

rule of thumb, one that came to me during the trailer to They. If a critic blurb refers to it as "scarier than" something, chances are it'll (at least attempt to be) more of a tension-based psychological horror. If it says "more scares than" then it will be a jumpy, startling-based horror. So just pay more attention to what the critics say in the trailers, the wording, not the opinion.

Man, I'm sorry, I've tried but I can't understand any of your posts. None of them make sense.
