Horror Movies That Are Actually Scary According to MovieWeb
"Horror exists on a spectrum. There is the prestige, elevated fine art of horror; the gross-out splatter horror; the psychologically twisted horror; the body horror; the horror comedy wonder; the silly old-school classics; & the important, all-time greats. But for many people they aren't genuinely scary. Of course, there is also a spectrum of horror viewers. For many, 'The Exorcist' or 'The Thing' are downright terrifying, but then again, many are disturbed by 'Courage the Cowardly Dog.' If you're a seasoned horror fan, having built up a tolerance and become desensitized by years of gore, then it takes something very specific to scare you. It needs to be something more than just nasty, sick, morally reprehensible content likely found beneath the Disturbing Movie Iceberg; 'scary' and 'disgusting' are not directly correlated. Without sinking into the soul-sick depravity of A Serbian Film,'for your viewing terror, here are some movies which are genuinely, actually scary." - movieweb.com
