Re: Whats the scariest movie?
Odd that this thread should start after Halloween.
I like horror movies a lot -- a complete reversal from my childhood where I was too terrified to even watch commercials for horror movies. These days, I'm very interested in deconstructing mechanisms of fear so that I can better conquer them. There are a lot of things to be afraid of in the world, and almost none of them involve a homicidal killer/walking cliche, though the mechanisms each use to intimidate and demoralize us are quite the same.
That said, I don't find terribly many movies frightening anymore, though there are still a handful that unnerve me -- mostly because they tap into someof my unconquered childhood fears.
The only horror movie I've been unable to finish watching was The Amityville Horror because of one particular scene about midway through the movie. Also, Amityville is about 20 minutes from where I grew up.
