Title says it all. Movies that didnt even give you a jump scare?

The Shining was an awesome movie, but I also didn't really feel tense or scared while watching it.

Scream, Halloween, The Ward, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser, and Child's Play, as much as I liked them, also come to mind.

You're a silly goose, that movie was incredibly morally terrifying.

Boku No Pico.

Sometimes there are a few "jump" scares. It has ghost children, but I wouldn't entirely say it's scary at all but was obviously made for shock value and is mildly disturbing.

It depends what age you are.

Gore movies would be really scary for children, whereas psychological horrors would be scary for older people.

I recently watched the original Alien movie and I must say it wasn't very scary aside from a couple times something jumped out.

Every supposedly-scary movie ever. None of them are scary. Not one.

The best any so-called scary movie can pull off is being a bit gross or a tad gory, maybe. Some movies can pull off creepy or disturbing. None can pull off scary.

How can a movie possibly be scary? You are at no point in any real danger unless an actual crazed psycho busts into the movie theater and mows everyone down while you're watching or something.

Begotten.
The beginning was mildly creepy but then after that a whole lotta nothing.

oculus
more so i was confused throughout most of the movie to even be scared. i was trying to piece together what was happening before i realized it was in two different time settings, past and present.

i'm deftly afraid of mirrors but oculus didn't scare me as i thought it should have.

I would love to say Trolls 2, but that shit was terrifying on an entirely different level than was intentional.

Really? I found it be scary at times myself.

My pick? Nightmare on Elm Street. Entertaining series, but most of those horror sequences are goofy as hell.

Just about every single horror movie in the past decade. The Descent and Evil Dead remake were good however.

VHS 1 and 2 are just home movies that have people making fictional scary stories even though the main character dies. It's not like that there would be more cliched stuff in the third installment or maybe it will.

2 I felt was a bit of an improvement

Really? I didn't think the newest Evil Dead was creepy.

The Exorcist. Which is still to me the best satirical comedy I've ever seen. I may have the same advice as the Zodiac Killer but... eh.

Response to Scary movies that weren't scary 2014-09-16 20:19:11


Saw and Hostal. Granted, the latter is more disgusting than the first one, but is not, at least for me.
Ginger Snaps, too.
And the ultimately non-scary horror movie... Nic Cage's The Wicker Man. STEP AWAY FROM DA POST! >:(

Mama was the biggest, most disappointing pile of shit I've seen in a while.
Guillermo del Toro made El Orfanato, ffs.
