My roomates at the time were watching it, and it was loud enough that I could hear it upstairs. I also caught glimpses of the movie while I went into the kitchen to eat or get more tea. <br /><br />It DOES look interesting, because it's about exorcism and stuff, but most of the time I can't watch horror. <br /><br />It's funny that I am that way about horror movies, because I LOVE Stephen King.Elizabeth Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214706118828699708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100373839462710495.post-90318257140332187962010-10-14T23:47:22.640-04:002010-10-14T23:47:22.640-04:00I can only do certain kinds of horror movies.

Have you ever watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0492044/" rel="nofollow">The Haunting in Connecticut</a> (the 2009 version)? Amazing film. I also loved The Ring, though the sequel was disappointing, to say the least. I haven't watched The Grudge because I have a moral objection to Sarah Michelle Gellar's presence on my screen (it's complicated), but it looks right up my alley. <br /><br />I draw a lot of inspiration from my horror movies. I even have a WIP (progress is a strong word...) that would make an awesome horror movie. I do tend to huddle behind my boyfriend sometimes though. <br /><br />~TaraTara Lindsay Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970258984995282462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100373839462710495.post-79942844862318986632010-10-14T23:05:31.230-04:002010-10-14T23:05:31.230-04:00You are correct.

She went a little insane (okay, a little more insane). She refused to watch it with us, so she left. She was unaware that we restarted the movie 35 minutes later when some more friends show up. She decides she's going to be funny, assuming the movie has been over for 40 minutes. She texts him "7 DAYS." He gets the text right at the last shot of the film where the ring comes on the screen. It couldn't have made for a more awesome experience. The timing was perfect.Joseph L.

What made it worse is I watched it in the theater with a bunch of friends at a sleep over, and we returned to the friend's house...and stared at the living room with the big tv we were supposed to sleep in. Yeah, that wasn't going to happen. We went through the entire house and turned all the light on until it was time to go to sleep and we realized the folly of our way: we would have to go through the entire house AGAIN to shut off the lights. <br /><br />I think I am scared for life from that movie.

I prefer American remakes of Japanese horror movies (like "The Grudge") because there are cultural elements in Japanese movies I just don't understand that would be terrifying to me if I did. The American versions add cultural elements I understand and make for a better viewing experience.<br /><br />Though really, I don't watch many horror movies. It's not really a genre I enjoy.Joseph L. Selbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629531390894108695noreply@blogger.com
