I've been religiously watching horror movies since I was a little kid. I think part of it was that it gave me some sense of control over my fear when I was young. I used to be a very scared child. Now I watch them to try to find something that can actually create some sort of emotional response. It's very very rare that I see anything anymore that gets to me in any way at all. I'd say the last time that happened was at the beginning of The Night Eats The World. There's a scene at the beginning where the main character wakes up in the morning in a house where there was a massive party the night before and he finds that the house is deserted and everything is destroyed. He walks through the house to the front door and opens it to find a couple of people standing at the front steps looking kinda funny and he says something, only to have those people instinctually respond by trying to eat him and he can see that they're all messed up. Their animalistic response to his voice really messed with me, to the point that I had to take a moment and pause the moment and reflect on what I'd seen. Easily the most realistic moment in a zombie movie that I think I've ever seen.
All that said, I wish horror movies and just movies in general were better these days. Everything is so overdone.
