I love Horror films, it’s my favourite kind of film genre. I love the fact the film could scare me. But this very rarely happens I was really excited when the film Paranormal activity come out. It was so hyped up in the cinema. The trailer made the film looks absolutely terrifying, it seems even more scary when it shows the people reactions to the film instead of parts of the film it’s self. Anyway.. I was expecting to be scared for once, but no I didn’t think this film was scary in the slightest. The story line is scary but only if it is happening to you. For someone watching the couples life and there problems I found it wasn’t scary. But saying this a couple of my friends found the film really scary and got really freaked out after. I agree with Mark Kamode how can people be scared after they have watched a film? Its only a film. I don’t think I have ever watched a film that has scared me, some have made me jump but none actually scare me. I cannot wait for the day a film manages to do this.
What makes a horror a horror and a thriller a thriller?
This is what i don’t understand. I go to Block Buster’s to find a ‘scary’ film. I look at the back of the DVD box and it says intense horror, fantasy thriller, horror/thriller but what is the difference. I no horrors are supposed to be horrific and thrillers and supposed to thrill you but I don’t think this is the case as I think that thrillers are sometimes confused with horrors and vice versa.
