Man I want to watch some horror movies, but what I like in the genre is severely limited by 1. my fear of seeing a dog die and 2. the sheer abundance of horrible acting.

Like I will sit and watch terrible horror movies all day long, but if I can tell the people in them are amateurs who dashed out a script a day before shooting? Can't do it.

and it's pretty relentlessly grim and brutal, but I don't recall it being particularly gory

for found footage, I really like Grave Encounters

and its sequel is good too
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ

I haven't seen much, myself (I've been meaning to get more into it), but this one was good-- I'm just not sure where you stand on movies that really brutalize female characters

I mean, she ends up fighting back and it's cathartic and tragic

I'm not sure. I'd probably have to see it

but no, I am not big on "endurance test" horror movies
ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴅ ʜᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ

Korean horror tends to be very grim

and I don't feel like they really count as horror

at least from the ones I've seen and from what I've read from others who're more knowledgeable about it than me

@ThatMinx
Mon, Jan 4, 2016 8:12 PM
I'll check it out. I can always stop watching it.
Jaq
@ImpureTale
Mon, Jan 4, 2016 8:12 PM
when there is no tension or buildup or development and all the filmmaker is doing is heaping more and more horrible shit on you without stopping to let you breathe, it's not horror to me.

Mon, Jan 4, 2016 8:13 PM
I'm gonna try Grave Encounters right now though because yay

@ImpureTale

I also really like old style horror. Like The Haunting (which is why I enjoyed Crimson Peak so much), or the Whisperer in Darkness when I want something horror but also vaguely sci-fi flavored
