Hi! Names bleubird, and I'm new here. I am doing a survey on
Insidious (2010) versus
Psycho (1960) and wondering why (if it is so -- feel free to disagree) current movies like Insidious are so much "scarier" than if I were to watch Psycho now. Because when Psycho was first released, it was the scariest thing around, and now it seems to be more of an iconic movie rather than the thriller it was.
So what do you think is causing this desensitization to horror films in particular? Or, it is occurring at all? Is it just the new technology, better soundtracks, etc?
