Signs is not a scary film? / to want dh to watch it with me?

[Tryingtobeanonymous]

DH doesn't like scary films. He apparently found Sixth Sense really scary. I like these type of movies. I love signs and really fancy watching it. AIBU to want him to watch it with me?

I don't find it at all scary, just captivating, It's not like I have time where he and dd aren't around to watch it. What is your take on it if you've seen it?

The Sixth Sense absolutely terrified me! Every time I walked past a staircase I could see the bodies hung there and could always see the other dead people when I closed my eyes etc
I hate scary films, really wish I didn’t as some have really good storylines but I just can’t watch them.

I have watched Signs a few times, I like it but yeh I watch certain bits through my fingers.

It’s awful when people try to make you watch a scary film though and don’t listen to you when you say you don’t want to. And when people mock you when you say you’re too scared to watch horror.

Definitely in the scary category

Well - this is a good description of one of the scenes.

It's probably not as scary as Sixth Sense (some pretty darn scary bits in that!) but if he doesn't like ''scary'' films then i don't think he'd really enjoy Signs imo.

This is such a short scene though. Appreciate the analysis, the scene is genius and so well thought out but very short.

The Woman in Black was brilliantly done, I thought, but even DP proper jumped a few times. The one at the end of this trailer got me but that's because I was looking in the wrong place

I found Sixth Sense scary. I don’t watch horror/supernatural/scary films. It’s not just that I don’t like watching them, they actively frighten me for weeks/months/years after. Don’t be so selfish. Watch it on your own.

Yes, much as I love it, I wouldn't give him a hard time for not wanting to see it.

My friend's husband had frequent nightmares after watching one of the popular TV shows - can't recall which, maybe Stranger Things. I haven't seen it but she said he's never scared and something just really got to him in that.

YABU for wanting him to watch a shit movie.

He won't like it because it's shit. Watch it on your laptop with headphones on.

YANBU to want him to watch it with you.

YABU to try to minimise how he might feel about it in order to persuade him to watch it, or to push the point when you've already said no.

Say he wanted to watch a two hour long programme about a sport (replace sport with something more appropriate if needed) that you don't enjoy. Would you be okay with him trying to persuade you that it won't be like how you expect it to be?
