... to have been thoroughly un-scared by Paranormal Activity?

[psychoveggie]

I have heard a few people mention it on here, and was rather looking forward to being spooked.

It never happened. It's not scary. There's potential for a massively scary film there, but they don't manage it, although as an armchair director I have a few suggestions.

Well am I?

I don't think any horror films compare to the ones in the late 70's/early 80's - Halloween, The Shining, Friday 13th.... They had an apmosphere that films nowadays just don't seem to capture. Could also be that I can remember watching them through my fingers at a very inappropriate age and being scared shitless!

meant atmosphere

Well must admit am not easily spooked, probably scariest films every for me have been "Ring" - original Japanese one (mirrors and windows at nighttime freaked me out for months), It (probably due to watching it at a young age) and 28 Days Later, which I think is just a really well made, modern horror film.

That's the one, Tomorrow'slookingfine. Thank god I don't livein London...I don't think I could use the Tube alone after seeing that.
