- I think I just plain old saw The Exorcist too late. I've seen it parodied so many times that by the time I actually saw it, it just didn't hit right. The scene

I’m not sure whether I ever saw it as a kid - I feel like I must have as in the early 80s all we had to amuse ourselves was renting slashers and comedies from the video shop - but I watched the OG Halloween about a year ago and I did not care for it. I found it very slow and boring.

I saw it years ago, and was just kinda meh. Other movies have done what it's doing better.

[recognitions]

Same. And that theme music was so annoying over and over

[spiffle]

I tried to watch it last year and got about halfway through before I had to give it up. So boring and tedious.

I don’t watch much horror media but the first answer made me remember watch The Exorcist as a kid with my dad and I just thought it was boring.

I'm sorry I just did not care about The Shining. I watched it and I was like ok.

[metatarsus]

Honestly, same. I watched Doctor Sleep and loved it though, which I found interesting.

[houndooms]

I watched it for the first time last month and my reaction was just "yeah ok I guess".

[euraylie]

It has a few good scenes, but that’s about it. It always also bothered me what happens to Jack Nicholson has nothing to do with the shining.

I didn't find The Conjuring that scary. When it came out, people called it the scariest movie since Exorcist.

[ladychips]

mte it wasnt bad but it was just a normal haunted house movie. def not meeting the hype that it got

[euraylie]

CGI ghosts rarely scare me. They can be well done, but the Conjuring took itself way too serious

[disgruntledyawn]

I enjoyed it as a movie, but it was more spooky than terrifying.

I just can't stand slashers and I find them less and less appealing every single year.

I am definitely interested in the concept of the emotion behind a (Fictional only) murder but I prefer a nice slow detective where the actual violence is minimal/off screen. It's more interesting to see how a certain situation developed rather than a non stop stream of body parts being flung around.

Yeah slashers and torture porn especially are not for me. I like tension/suspense not gore.
