Kbin: What is your favourite (or least favourite) horror film?
We all either love horror films, or hate horror films. What's that film that kept you up at night? The one that you re-watch all the time? The one that made you groan at 'the big reveal'?
Favourite: Evil Dead (2013). It was just insane, wonderfully gory and made you wanna squirm.
Least favourite: Sharkenstein (2016). Watching this film, I gained a new appreciation for Meet The Spartans.

After developing PTSD for an unrelated issue, I can’t watch horror anymore. But before that I was a fan. I remember being distinctly disappointed by the Silent Hill movie as betraying the core fundamentals of horror writing, and frustrated that they took what was supposed to be a psychological journey into the psyche of the main characters and turned it into a boring “evil cult” story. They didn’t even make the cult scary in the way real cults are scary.
A friend of mine actually liked the movie, on the premise that it wasn’t trying to be horror, but just a shock-value gore-o-rama. I don’t see the appeal.
The scariest movie I ever saw? Literally gave me nightmares and kept me up for weeks? The Exorcist. It probably helps that I’m kinda religious. Regardless, never watched that movie twice. Even if I didn’t have unrelated issues, I’d never watch that movie again. A+ horror.
My wife has CPTSD, and I was forced to watch The Exorcist, as a 4yo, in a Catholic household, so I feel you on both those points lol
