My audience laughed (snickered, really) at anything even vaguely sexual. All fully grown adults, by the way.

--- Quote from: ALoveSupreme on 12 Feb 2011, 17:27 ---"scary" movies are almost always really poorly done and pretty much accomplish the exact opposite of what they aim for (even if it's, like, an "ironic" scary movie).

What? Explain this to me. Are you saying that horror films in general are poorly done or...what?

Sorry, I have had enough drinks to still be coherent but not really express myself clearly.
I do not like horror movies. Usually at all.
I thought this movie just had a small amount of the genre to be enjoyable enough.
That's just me, and I really poorly worded what I said earlier.
(edit: poorly must be my word of the night.)
Ikrik:
If we want to look at mainstream horror films then yeah, they are quite horrible. Good horror films are mostly found pre-2000's or from foreign shores.
I would love to see more horror films being done in this style as the only ones that have really been shown in theaters lately have been those awful SAW films. I would love to see more psychological and body horror invading our cinema. Actually, anything other than torture porn and lame slashers would be nice.
ALoveSupreme:
Yeah, I think maybe that's what I was thinking of when I said that, I'm sure there plenty of exceptions outside of the mainstream.
Is it lame that my favorite "scary movie" is still The Ring? Never did see the Japanese version, though as soon as I found out what I saw was a remake I wanted to see the original.
Ikrik:
The original is really low-budget and I didn't enjoy it at all.
There are tons of exceptions, but that's also cause I love horror films quite a bit. And there are a lot of absolutely awful ones, in fact, most of them are awful. The joy comes from watching maybe 10-15 awful ones and then stumbling across something that's amazing.
And I'm going to not ramble on about horror films because I've been drinking and will go on forever.
