Scary movies that even *I* like... [ongoing]
A few friends and I regularly have movie nights. We often have a hard time deciding on a movie because I generally don't enjoy horror movies and they LOVE them. Sometimes though, we watch a scary movie (I'm saying scary because I'm sure some are more like thrillers than horror) that I really enjoy.
I haven't exactly been able to pinpoint what a scary movie must contain in order for me to like it but I have decided that it must have at least 1 (hopefully more) of the following:
1) A story that's more than "here's a group of people that we know are all going to die. Let's put them all together and try the guess the order in which they're killed!"
2) A story that's more than "Hey look at this kitchen appliance/broken bicycle/music instrument/animal carcass/lawn sign/weird pair of pants/other item that's generally not a weapon. Look at it kill people!"
2) At least two characters that I can care about if not actually like
3) Unexpected, engaging, twists
Not saying that movies that don't fit this bill are bad or that I hate them all - just that I don't typically enjoy them. (I'm squirmy, what can I say) - please suggest any that you think I'd like that I did not add!
