I must also add, not ALL psychological thrillers are as deep as they seem to, or should be. And if you don't get it the first time around, watch it again. If you don't think about it the next day, you probably found or boring or whatnot, and do not need to watch it again just to try and think.

Movies used to make me think about things a lot. But at this point, I've seen pretty much everything modern and even older horror films can throw at me (Exception: Eraserhead). But there is only so much you can take in.

Now I will say this. I watched Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, a few weeks ago. That movie has stuck with me, and I wish it hadn't. That's one really fucked up movie, and it tends to be one of those that makes you think. Only, it makes you worry more than anything.

Try Donnie Darko. I found that movie to stick with me a few days after I watched it. Though, while not technically a horror film, it's still good.

Its not that i can't see whats going its just that... well it doesn't really get to me.
I mean, as stated, i can see Friday the 13th is going on in such a deserted place, or how Norman Bates really could exist but... so what?
I still dont think that somebody is going to stab me, maybe i am not paranoid enough, or maybe i should try to look at movies as reality, instead of saying "Ha, its just a movie, those are actors".
Sorry if this is reviving an old thread and against the rules, i forgot about it xD

Once you get to a certain age, if you haven't been scared previously, nothing a movie has to offer is going to scare you. Now if you want real life, watch Henry. That's sure to get some kind of response out of you.

For me, it is not the reality that is scary, but the messed up surrealism of the imagination.

for me - with any kind of supernatural/sci-fi, the key is not 'reality' but that the film follows its own internal logic.

being john malkovich was one that i loved - not because it made any sense in the real world, but because the sense it made was internally consistent - i liked both blair witch and sixth sense for the same reason - it all came togehter

i used to really chafe at the freddy films because everytime we'd be told that something (not fearing him, burying his bones, etc.) would kill him and everytime it was nonsense - that just felt cheap
