Halloween Movies

[Gemini Cricket]

I had avoided The Ring for ages because I saw and liked Ringu and kind of scoffed at the idea of seeing a U.S. remake. But I plan on watching it after hearing so much about it.

I used to be freaked out by horror films to the extent of nightmares and all that. But after studying film for several years, I think I became immune to being sacred by horror films. (You know, the 'oh that's ketchup' and 'oh that's latex' etc.) Yes, I still leap out of my seat when there's a particularly unexpected jump scene in a film but as for the content freaking me out... it's rare. I think the last movie I was truly disturbed by was Se7en. What happened I think was that the movie leaves a lot up to your imagination and as always one's own imagination is always the best at freaking you out.
