How do you like your Horror?

In space.

I hate the sort of horror movie that relies on music for suspense, heads spinning, people walking on all fours on the ceiling, bones breaking and lots of blood; you are just relying on scenery and sound to generate your horror. That's nothing. Psychological horror is better.

I love the kind of horror that toys with your expectations. It makes you feel awfully insecure when you feel like you can't predict what's going to happen next.

That and paranoia. If done well, a portrayal of paranoia can be pretty damn horrifying. I remember one recent instance in particular where you saw things through the paranoid person's eyes who eventually kills whom they perceive as a threat and then end up commiting suicide. And it still took me much longer to realize that he was the villain in that story, I legitimately believed his paranoia to be the truth. It was quite the "oh trout" moment when I realized, much later.

I like horror movies that are so bad that they are good.

I like when horror films hate the main character so basically all of Sam Raimi's horror movies.

I also like pyschological horrors/thrillers like Seven and Silence of the Lambs.

And of course any zombie film. :Jess:
