horror genre..

I'm so sick of horror movies. Now in our society it's like every horror movie needs to have insane amounts of violence in order to be scary. To be honest, having violent horror movies like that is what makes me not want to watch it. Sure, it's pretty frightening to see someone ripped to shreds in "saw", but it's not really that clever. It's like a comedian that gets all their laughs from swearing. I just don't get it, and it feels like you don't have to put much effort in, and it's a cheap laugh, or in the horror movie case, a cheap scare.

That being said, I love really suspenseful horror movies. The ring's kind of like that. It's really creepy and gets into your head, but it's not very violent at all. The most blood in that movie is probably a nose bleed. But the ideas and that samarah girl gets into my head, and creeps me out at night. I work as a janitor at a high school, and i'm there by myself alot at night. Sometimes I'll look down the hallway and think i'm going to see that little girl standing there with a flickering light over her head. It's yet to happen by the way, but at least these horror movies did a good job of scaring the crap out of me. I've never once been terrified of jigsaw standing in the hallway, because he's practically on his death bed in all his movies (and isn't he dead in the last one? how does that work out??)
