*sigh*
I guess people don’t understand what I mean.
I watched (or started watching) the original “The Exorcist” yesterday… but I fell asleep. In any case, I made it more than half way through the movie and I seriously thought that wasn’t scary at all. I thought it was quite funny.
Now, I wrote that on Facebook and people are trying to justify that it was made “back in the day” and that it didn’t have much special effects and etc. and that’s why it wasn’t scary. But HONESTLY… a movie that was made “back in the day” could still be just as scary as one made now.
I mean, there are comedies that were and still are funny. There are romance movies that are still good that were made back then. My point is, it’s not because of the special effects that a scary movie is going to be scary. Sure, it might add to it, but it’s by far not everything. I’m still trying to find a scary movie that truly scares me. The closest anything has ever gotten was “The Blair Witch Project” but still I wasn’t freaking out lol.
I’ll tell you one thing though. I was crapping my pants right at the beginning of the movie. But only because it was extremely over-hyped and considered as “one of the scariest movies of all time.” Like I would bring up the movie and some people would be like “Oh heck no. I’m never watching that.” and all that. But after I saw it… it’s just like… REALLY? THAT was supposed to scare me? Gahhh.
