The Strangers was dumb as hell.

Marble Hornets scares the piss out of me. I always watch them at night with the window open, just to make it scarier. I haven't seen any in about 9 months though. Are they done with that?

Scary, eerie, creepy, frightening --- these words are all synonymous.. If you don't understand that - I don't know how to explain it to you.
I do understand that there is a level of fear, though.

When I was a little kid (like 5), my older cousins let me watch this movie with them. It absolutely scared the shit out of me for much of my childhood (like half of my bad dreams were based off of it). I watched it again as a teenager, and I couldn't believe that I had been scared of it. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Alien scared me when I was a kid.

LOL... really?

I'd never heard of this. It's funny the kind of stuff we're scared of when we were younger...

Twin Peaks scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I have no idea why. ****ing David Lynch.

For me,scary is the possibility of something really happening brought to film,that said it was way more believeable than the Nightmare series.

And just to clarify,movies like music are subjective,so although I'm questioning the believeability of your choice,I'd never call it dumb.

I'm calling it dumb because the plot had so much promise....but fell flat. The two main characters were stupid at every turn of the movie.

Agreed. The movie was okay, but the main characters were really stupid.

Unfortunately,Hollywood is full of that,sometimes I think regular guys like us could do a much better job.

They actually call him 'The Operator' but I believe he was inspired by Slender Man.

It's interesting how creepy/effective a scary movie is really seems to have no relation to how much money was spent making it.

I think they're making a 'season 2' now. I wasn't sure what to think when I first watched it but after some time it's grown on me. I kinda want to watch it again now.

What's great about it is the use of sound. It's like when you play Silent Hill and a radio suddenly gets a lot of static you know shit's about to get real. I've never seen artifacts/screen tearing used like that in a movie. It's really kind of ingenious.

The two parts that stick out for me are when they were exploring that abandoned basement or whatever. That was super creepy. Also when they give the camera to someone else and they see that thing in the hallway... that actually made me jump.

You nailed that,look no further than Hooper's original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Magic with Anthony Hopkins,from 1978. I haven't seen it since. But it gave me nightmares for the longest time. I'm going to pick it up. I'm sure it's pretty cheesy now.
