Horor movies don't scare me anymore :(

I haven't seen a scary movie sine the grudge remake (sad but true) I jumped alot of times during that movie...though I did have alot of screaming girls behind me that kinda played a part in me jumping. I did jump in friday the 13th as well when Jason came outta the water and grabbed that chick. But anyway, does anyone find horror movies scary anymore or is it just me who doesn't find them scary?

Most horror movies nowadays are all the same and totally predictable. Personally, if I want a suspenseful movie, I look to the oldies.

I have to agree with this guy 100%

Horror movies are in and obvious decline.

Especially the ones that brag about using real bodies 😄.

In an interview with the director we got this:

Yup, went to the grave and dug up grandma for my movie...it's what she would have wanted

The reason they don't scare is because they are cheap, it is far more terrifying to imply what has happened rather then show it, that and the acting is poor, you get no tension, backgrounds and camera perspective and angles are no longer used, and the music the key to a movie is pretty lackluster, horror movies are mediocre now.

horror movies don't scare me either. *sigh*

talk about desensitized.

I watched 1408 last night...nothing in that scared me, and people have told me how scary it was. The only thing that seems toscare me is when someone gets skinned, for some reason that freaks me out. So hellraiser 1 - 3 freaks me out...dunno if 4 had anyone get skinned.

Stop watching so much violence and gore for a bit or just start watching better movies 😉

Any suggestions?

Perhaps you should watch Saw or the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Personally Friday the 13th doesn't scare me either but this movies I see as freaky.

I have watched both those movies TCM original and remake....didn't scare me 🙁

Because you know it is not real.

I always used to be afraid of films I knew weren't real...now I just don't get scared

You probably aren't watching the right movies.

Although the recent horror movies are .. 😬

Well what is there to be scared by? Nothing scares me, I tried everything that used to scare me and now I got zip...nada...nothing scares me

When I saw horror movies it scared me even though I knew it wasn't real

Horror movies today are generally plain weak, and it's an insult that they're producing the **** they're nowadays and were paying to see it. I will admit I was somewhat pleased with those 8 Films To Die For (not this year's) but last. Although some of the actors left A LOT to be desired.
