Scary films - Love or hate?
Im watching event horison, (on bbc one now). I love the film but it scasres the **** out of me. I get put of by some films because of there scaryness. Like i watched 10sec of evil dead 2 once. I lost alot of sleep over it.
I find it strance how films are only scary when you wathc them on your own. However witha some mates there fine, do you find that, like scary films?? Plus watch Event Horision on now bbc1!!!! |

But it's hard to tell if the story's good or not when you miss the start! Can't say any film has ever scared me. I've been made to jump, but that's not quite the same. Some films can be disturbing if you think to yourself: "actually, that could happen in real life." There's a Japanese film called Audition that I found quite disturbing, almost wished I hadn't seen it. If you think Event Horizon is scary, maybe you'd better avoid that one.

It seemed really graphics and extremelly disturbing.
Afterwards my friend (who'd seen it before) said did you like it? I still don't know what to think about that film. As for scary films, I thought that Event Horizon was pretty good, but I thought alien was a bit scarier. I'm not good with scary films usually, but I think I usually like the sci-fi ones (alien, event velocity, predetor etc), but I wouldn't go to the cinema to see one - especially not with surround sound etc .

I found Event Horizon a bit irritating, I gave up and wen to bed after an hour or so.
Evil Dead 2 was just funny really, there were a few bits that made me jump a bit, but nothing really scary. I'll tell you what did scare me in a confusing "Dear god, my brain hurts" way" 12 Monkeys.

I love a good scary film!
They arn't exactly scary but they are usually a good laugh to watch. Gotta admit The Grudge freaked me out in the cinema, made me jump a bit! |

I can't stand scary films.. I don't see the point..
Sci-Fi/Comedy preferably  .. maybe some Action.
We cannot choose what we are.. but what are we but the sum of our choices?
