Horror movies for instance. You really have to put yourself in the characters' shoes. Not insert yourself into the situation. <cite>sLaCkEr408___RJ posted [p:929165263] in How can an...

TwigsthePnoDude 10/24/19 1:04:24 AM #17:	I mean, if it was fantasy horror in that the setting was in a fantasy world, then I could see it being scary. It's when its set against the backdrop of real life that there is no connection between the movie trying to scare me and any feeling of fear I have. I do find The Shining to be scary, but I view it all as the supernatural in it is really the family having hallucinations. --- It wasnt a lie, it was ineptitude with insufficient cover. ~ Donald Draper <cite>TwigsthePnoDude posted [p:929165471] in How can an...

IShall_Run_Amok 10/24/19 1:14:02 AM #19:	And its not like the more realistic, so called, horror movies are any more real in the first place. Psycho and a lot of slashers don't accurately represent people suffering from trauma or various mental illnesses. Jaws and The Birds rely on animals behaving unnaturally. Pretty sure Satanic cults like in The Seventh Victim and All the Colors of the Dark probably aren't real either. Short Night of Glass Dolls is a bit more likely, but still a stretch. --- On the whole, I'd rather have a Marple Cinematic Universe. <cite>IShall_Run_Amok posted [p:929165701] in How can an...

Serial killers irl exist because they target vulnerable people with no one around and even then is increasingly getting stamped out by better technology. Theyre far less of a threat than car accidents or random heart attacks.

I was trying to think of what you could even consider "realistic" in the horror genre. I guess torture porn stuff like Saw or Hostel, serial killer stuff, maybe stuff like The Purge (is it horror though, or just suspense/thriller?)
