I'm a huge fan of all horror related media and general "darker" arts - While I absolutely appreciate, enjoy and love the artistic side of creating a creepy and tense atmosphere, it should be no surprise that the actual "horror" of movies won't be effective at all once you get older and deeper into the different types of uneasy art, especially immersive forms such as experimental independent horror games that focus on creating a terrifying experience
The appreciation of the skill of writing and creating great psychological horror certainly grows with more knowledge, but it's almost impossible to actually feel anything "negative" except pure enjoyment when it comes to horror movies
You could argue that this is a good thing, but what was the last movie that actually made you feel uncomfortable, in terms of creepyness or unease?
I'm NOT talking about disgusting gore, pure body-horror, or political themes - but rather the typical: "I keep checking if something is behind me and I really want to close my door right now" feeling we had as teenagers
Cheers!
