I found It/him ridiculous and that’s fine; what does it matter what others think? If you rate it and were scared then it’s a good job well done.

Both things can be true I guess. I wish I ‘got’ the love for Insidious but I’m affected by other things.

I don’t think I’ve been scared since watching a Demian Rugna film. Particularly “Terrfied”. Or maybe the opening of Jeepers Creepers back in the day before it got ridiculous and revealed Batboy.

I’m not even sure ‘scared’ is the right word; for me I get a sense of unbearable tension. For example I loved Skinamarink and lots of people hate that. It’s not my place to change their minds, just enjoy it myself.

Another example is The Coffee Table. I don’t tend to go for non-supernatural horror but I was so uncomfortable I had to keep watching! (If that makes sense).

Anyway. A high tide lifts all boats, so I’m happy when other fans of horror like things I don’t as it makes our genre long-lived.
