Originally posted by Dracequote:Originally posted by Grandy The last horror movies I saw are like RE4. Full of action, drama, cool effects, but no horror. Seriously, horror movies are supposed to be scary, last time I saw one it was the history of a man who walked around killing people, and we kinda knew where he was and all. You want horror? Make a movie where you can't see the assassin, from beggining to end, maybe only the the very last part, when he kills everyone. EVERYONE. No one should survive in a horror movie. Horror, at least for me, happens when you feel like the guy who's hiding from the culprit. You don't know where he is, you get startled at every sound, and lastly, you run, and you don't hear anyone running after you. That's because he doesn't run, he knows it's only a matter of time, he just walks slowy, following you to the place where he knows you went to, and you know there's no way to escape that fate, only to delay it, and you don't even know what is chasing you. Now, some movies I saw, it shows the killer, from beggining to end. You know who he is, what he does, how he kills, and you know how'll he strike to kill. It just cut's the feeling, you don't feel like you're in the movie anymore. It's like when you are in a great movie in the cinema, and near the climax scene, the guy in front of you decides to have a really bad cough. You get what I meant.*Slaps Grandy* The real horror movies are not made to scare people Grandy! The real horror movies are not serious! It's those immigrant horror movies (not made by immigrants, but being more "thriller" than horror) that try to be serious and scary.
I general I'd say I agree 98% with Grandy's post above.

That's called an "action" movie around here. Same as horror, but without the horror part.

Originally posted by Dracequote:Originally posted by Revolution911Why wouldent a horror movie be serious. That sounds ridiculous.Go watch old horror movies. Watch them, hit your head, say 'dee dee dee', look me straight in the eyes and tell me you found them scary. "The Monster From the Swamp!!!" "The Blob!" "The Vampire That Bites!". Bah, they've never meant to be serious.
Originally posted by RazorSandwich is correct. As was once said on the Simpsons, people were easier to scare back then. Remember War of the Worlds? That was a radio drama, and people ACTUALLY believed it. Noone would believe it these days, and that's because we're smarter nowadays.Those movies WOULD have scared people back then.

I've heard it =)But still, if people back then got scared of THE BLOB or some other black-white movie, they were retarded. Which, of course, they were.
