I guess I'm just one of those guys that doesn't get all "up" for scary movies. I think it's mostly because I find most of them so predictable that I just can't get scared. "Oooh, look - recently devirginized blondie is taking a walk through the forest at midnight. Oooh, look, she's walking in the general direction of a metal stake that's on the ground, and she doesn't see it! Oooh, look, uber-bad guy is picking up that metal stake... I wonder what's going to happen next..." :no:
See, that's why I went for "The Hitcher". It really is its own genre. I still hate to even think about that movie.
Gory movies do nothing for me.
