reddit ask: Horror movies you just…don't get?
reddit user @oceanhymn asked "Horror movies you just… don’t get?" and here are some of the answers, you can read the whole thing at the source.
- I sincerely disliked Terrifier. I don’t like using the term ‘mean-spirited’, but that movie is. It’s weird misogynistic torture porn from top to bottom.
- Lake Mungo. Not scary, couldn't invest in the characters, and overall pretty boring.
- The VVitch And I'm surprised by how many people liked it. It was so incredibly boring and everything was vaguely blue, so didn't even do anything visually for me either. Felt flat instead of like a slow burn. I just never really felt any tension. "Wouldst Thou Like To Live Deliciously?" is a great quote though.
- I’d have to say High Tension. It was cool until the end, at which point it became extremely uncool.
- I appreciate it more now but when I first saw Drag Me to Hell, I was pretty disappointed. I really hated the ending.
- People are going to hate me for this, but I do not like The Shining, I find it boring and extremely overacted. Part of it stems from when I was a kid my mom would only let me watch horror movies that were adapted from books and I had to read the book first. I was so excited to watch The Shining that not five hours after finishing the book I made her rent it for me- so there was no space between reading this great book and watching the movie. And I hated the movie. Through the years I’ve watched it several more times and I don’t hate it anymore, and I think it’s visually appealing, but I don’t get what is so exceptionally special about it and I have a feeling I never will. I probably ruined it for myself as a kid. Shame on me.
