Unrealistic Movies

[Shady]

Does anyone share this with me. I cannot get into unrealistic movies. The second I see someone fly or anything of that sort my mind wanders. I cannot get into a movie that cannot happen in real life. One great example would be Hellraiser. Very popular series and I have seen them all but I literally had to force myself to finish them all. I like movies such as Bone Collector, Seven, or even classic thrillers such as Les Diaboliques. One of my favorites has gotta be Spoorloos, outstanding movie. I also like movies with hauntings such as "The Haunting" and "The Shining". When it comes down to Sci-Fi or fantasy movies thats it. I will watch them to give em a go but the outcome is never pretty. I respect the movies and still give them credit because I will admit some of them are masterpeices but I just can't get into them. Does anyone else share this with me?

Sorry to hear that. Being able to open your mind and your imagination to new worlds and beings is an exciting experience.

Agreed. In my world, by your standards you've narrowed yourself down to serial killer flicks. I think ghosts & possessions are just as far out there as monsters. To each his own, I guess, but I think the slasher genre would get boring after awhile.

I get what you're saying, but no I don't think I totally agree. Sometimes I want that impossible element to things, makes it more scary to me. Really, who knows what is real and what isn't. The idea that what we know as "normal" may be fake or even not reality is disturbing, I like it!

However and maybe this is cause I'm a chick, I can't stand random boobs in horror movies. Okie, don't get all up in arms. Boobs are boobs, yay, but when they kind of pop up (no pun intended) it shocks me out of what I'm watching. Then I kind of lose my respect for the director/writer/whoever because I don't feel like they had enough faith in the horror and film making so they put in a couple few boobs.
*Possible spoiler* Hostel for instance. We waited for that to come on On Demand for EVER, then we watch it and the first half is boobs, sex, and couchie. Great if I'm sitting down to porn, but when I'm all geared up for cutting and beating and torture, I do not want to see a bunch of naked chicks. Especially when they're not being tortured. I have boobs, I know what they look like, I get it. I wanna see blood and guts and scary spooky stuff. The Ring, Children of the Corn, no boobs--but they scared the hell out of me.

Now boobs make sense sometimes. Friday the 13th=boobs, and in Carrie, it was a symbolic scene.
Whew, maybe I should go to the boobs page.

exactly..i cracked up so much when i 1st saw hidden dragon.
The hype about it was soooooooooo incredible..i just HAD to see it..

I cracked up so hard at the 1st fight scene..
turned it off and have never watched it again.
I know that we live in a virtual world where nothing is as it seems and as anavid horror fan..the unexpected is always greeted with a dive under the blankie.
BUT RUNNING UP WALLS LIKE FUCKEN SPIDERMAN!!!
spidey would not be happy with that :o
shit!!

I agree with you. Some movies it is necessary but for example the most recent movie I saw Open Water just shows some random chick laying in the bed nude. Just utterly and completely unnecessary. If someone wants to see a naked chick go rent a porn movie. I think nudity in horror movies or any movie is unnecessary.

Ah ha! You like mind games. Me too! I was a Psychology major (cj major too) and I thought I was gonna be this famous profiler for the FBI.
Anyhoo, have you ever seen Audition? It's a Japanese film, I believe, I think you would like it, but it's quite graphic. Think Hostel, if it had been good.
