I don't think you guys are taking everything into consideration here. Age and maturity, yeah, maybe. But would YOU have been scared by Jason X as a kid? I'm pretty sure I woulda laughed at it then too. Our maturity might have taken the edge off, but let's face it, movies were seriously, just made to be scarier back then. I think there's too much catering going on now. I mean Hellraiser and Nightmare on Elm St might not scare me anymore. But I still think they're fairly well made for their time. Jason X and Freddy vs Jason, and us ripping off Japanese flicks are NOT well made for THIS day and age. Movies should be SO much scarier now. But they're actually LESS scary. Though I must say I still haven't seen the likes of SAW. But from what I've seen that's less an attempt to be scary, and more an excuse for gore. But I still stand firm. Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer were thrillers. And Signs was a JOKE x_x;; I can't believe people were scared by that, or the Grudge.... my lord.
