Enjoying horror films
Nov. 14th, 2018 02:50 amAs a teenager I ( watched some horror films. ) They were interesting but I wasn't much attracted overall. In recent years that has changed. A couple of years ago I mentioned having enjoyed
I am still watching ( various horror. )
I do not know why I am now seeking horror after so many years of not caring about it. For instance, do I want to explore scary situations in a safe way? ( I enjoy horror films for various reasons. )
Coping with my previous depression involved accepting possible bad outcomes. Perhaps I became more able to handle scary things and what I am looking for in horror is nothing much different than for other genres. For example, science fiction can also assume new possibilities, making me wonder what is happening and how it will turn out. Horror may simply be offering me a new vein of stories.
The Babadook(2014). It felt slow and irritating for a while but developed into being engaging and alarming which was great. It remains one of my favorite horror films.
