I love horror movies, as long as they aren't just excuses for the director and F/X people to practice grossing me out. I don't mind appropriate violence, as long as the violence isn't the point. Give me witches, vampires, ghouls, monsters of all varieties, and I'm okay.
However, I don't enjoy horror films with serial killers. That's too real. Horror requires a healthy dose of unreality for me to enjoy it.
Enjoy? Yes, I enjoy being scared, as long as I know deep down that what frightens me on screen doesn't exist in real life.
I don't like horrors that have rape scenes, or freaky demon children.
Take, the hills have eyes...I don't like rape scenes. Not at all. I end up looking away, fast forwarding and it generally puts me in an upset mood.
If there is a movie where there is a rape scene, I think twice before watching it, and I usually will pick something else.
I don't generally watch horror movies, but when I do, I generally stay away from excessive torture scenes. I don't mind the chases and the monsters and stuff popping out, but I don't like the stuff that seems like it might be real. And sick twisted torture falls in there for me.
Any Type of Horror Films goes. I watched them when I alone because this is the time you enjoys most of it.
I personally do not watch horror movies ... I simply cannot find anything "good" in them. A buddy made me watch the first Saw movie and it was the last time I try watching a senseless, useless horror movie. Such movies do nothing for me personally: they are so fake and detached from any "form" of reality that I have to "pass" on them.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
