Understanding Horror Film fans

....Because you just knew that something HORRIFIC was about to happen! I know what you meant, because I had the same feeling with that movie and it was just awful when the moment happens. In other words, you didn't want to watch the horror aspect of it.

You are also correct that there are many types of horror, from comedy to unseen suspense to all out torture porn. I grew up watching reruns of 1930's, 40's and 50's movies. As powerful as FRANKENSTEIN (1931) and KING KONG (1933) were, the old movies are something even a child can watch. If you really want to slip gently into the genre, start with the old stuff.

Have you seen AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON? Parts of that movie are all out comedy, yet it retains power with the horror. Likable characters make it alluring to watch.

Thanks for the advice. I really have a lot of horror films to watch. I've been watching more and more of them of late.
 
I was bored with Orphan, and I didn't watch it out. I did not care for any of the characters in this movie. I found them to boring to watch....Maybe I was turn of by the first Dream scene of this movie.
My sister just had a miscarriage so I was a bit insultid by this first shene....

GA, my apologies if it sounded like I think Boys Don't Cry is a horror story. I was just trying to make a point about why I couldn't finish watching it, not that I think it's a horror story :)
Cheers,

No problem. It wasn't really aimed at you personally but for anyone reading the thread. Boys Don't Cry is a serious film that is changing the way society deals with these kind of things . . .

Carry on!
