739640, I just don't get a (positive) thrill from being anxious Posted by Nodima, Thu Oct-15-20 09:55 PM
I'm already the sort of dude that expects to get fired every day before he walks into work, I can't wrap my head around being entertained by stress unless the movie itself is pretty good.
I do like thrillers though, I guess I specifically mean jump scares. I jump at all kinds of loud noises and flinch at all kinds of sudden movements; there were times in theaters where I'd react to a Marvel movie like it was an Annabelle film. Shutter Island, The Shining, the basement scene of Zodiac, all that sort of stuff feels earned.
But outside the '80s classics which I find redeemably campy (I especially love Halloween as a series for being so self-indulgent, and Michael Myers honestly isn't scary unless you can convince yourself "ThiS COulD REAllY HapPEn~~~~" somehow.
