There are movies that tried to be scary, but ended up disgusting you by throwing a great amount of gore at you. One of the most prominent violators is Cabin Fever.

Or that kid who did random Kung-fu for no reason and bite the hell out of that guy's hand. Seriously, this movie blows.

I rather like most horror movies that don't show themselves in theatres, i think nightmare will agree with me on this. Dead birds was a good horror flick, it wasen't scarry through the whole movie but it was good for those sudden pop ups that made you rewind and see what it was again because it would be stuck in your head for a long time

horror is relative. seems today horror means gore. I dont classify saw as horror its a thriller/mystery. The ring,pulse,descent. are modern horror. Think about 1933 dracula with Bela legousi is a horror classic.

I agree with you but it is in my opinion also desensitization plays the big factor. My grandfather was spooked by Lugosi's Dracula, I am not. My father was scared to death after seeing the Excorsist, I am not. I can't remember when a movies scared me. They can still make me jump from time to time, but so can video games. Hell, they could put an exacutuion on tv and the majority would not be bothered.

I'm so glad someone mentioned this.

"Cut" was on of the most awesome things I've ever seen. Park Chanwook should not be allowed to be so brilliant.

On top of that, I bet he's a really good person. The schmuck!
