Tricky question. I am no longer scared during horror movies but I can be engaged with them

Years ago "Ring" (Japanese) scared the shit out of me and I was afraid to go to a toilet mid-movie [sic]. Also 1998's "Phantoms" made me scared but only to the half of the movie. I sort of miss this overwhelming dread that could come from movies

Recently I rather rank them by general engagement. In this case "It Follows" was one of my favourite relatively recent movies. "Barbarians" were cool too especially when the girl discovered the secret room and I was like DO NOT GO THERE. "Smile" was good too but generally too serious

(I also like "Halloween" but for most of the time it's a slasher and not a scary movie)

Have you seen Beau is afraid (2023)? I find it was less horror scary and more stressful scary. The world building in this one was amazing.

I have seen it yeah. The first part when riots start is such a social anxiety. Like when the guy fell on him in the bath tube and THEN SPIDER JOINED I was like "That's too much". Even the part where they steal his apartment keys. But then it switched to more surreal and meaningful story

When all the crackheads come in to his appartment. That was crazy. Or the scene in the bathroom. Rest of movie was beautiful I agree
