Why do we do this to ourselves?!

I'm a big fan of horror movies, but only the kinds that are creepy without being disturbing* or that I can watch and make fun of. Some of my favourite horror flicks are The Shining, The Changeling and The Ring.

The Stangers came highly recommended on a blog site that I recently discovered, so we rented it on Friday night. The first half hour was setting the scene, then after that it was super tense and creepy - just what I like!


I love getting all wound up, but it lead me to wonder why we do this to ourselves?! I was cowering under a blanket the whole time, and had the heebies for hours afterwards.

Unfortunately the end of the movie was disappointing. It crossed the line for me, into the land of torture and pain. Too bad. If it had ended in a more bizarre manner, rather than trying to be as disturbing as possible, it would have been way better.

*I would never willingly consent to watching Saw or any of the sequals, for example.
