the horror movie I will never get
Character that mingles with the supernatural is actually really chill with their sudden flying cuttlery and moving chairs, but when they do get a bit spooked they just use their black humor to cope with it or rationalise it until it just is too much for them to handle
Ouija boards are bad. People respect the dead and leave them like that. Thus no cringy movies are made out of them.
Monsters are things we literally cannot comprehend. Their forms are original, and haunting, and when they appear it’s like frost that sets in. Jump scares would be an insult to the quiet way they move about: they watch from a distance and yet hunt people down with slow determination, yet without a goal.
The character that started it all does not search for a solution, but even encourages the downfall. They may seem innocent, but their actions show a character that lacks a morality they maybe gave up on or never had. In either case they want to see the world burn in a slow way, without too much fuss. We like them but we hate it, or we firmly are aware of the fact that the character is “bad”, yet we cannot look away.
Humans are inherently good AND evil. They are grey. Criminals can be the most careful, loving people around animals or children and regular, decent working people can be the most violent, manipulative bastards at home. Showing both sides in characters makes it more real. And nothing can be as frightening as a dash of reality.
Maybe this makes sense, maybe it doesn’t. If you know any good horror movies, let me know!
