Nope... I simply choose not to absorb that sort of negative energy, including the negative press and documentaries and such... just doesn't appeal to me... same reason I don't want slasher flicks.
I'm intolerant of intolerant people - does that make me a hypocrite?

Oooooh - I LOVE scary movies!
I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment.

I love genuinely scary movies. Psychological thrillers. I don't watch things like Saw or Texas Chainsaw Massacre though, personally. Those don't strike me as scary, just sickening.
(But, to each their own.)

Theres a difference between racist and stereotype
Im a white male I wear boots and a camo us smokeless tobacco company hat
If I went down the street in the ghetto part of D.C.
Do you really think I whould come out with my life
NO
what if a black man walked down the road in a place called Cana Virginia
He whould not make it
Thats not racist
Thats common sense
I was at my dads office and he has a state job
In Winston Salem north Carolina
His office is in between the black part of town and the Mexican part
and he ordered a couple pizzas and told them there address
Well the guy at the pizza place said oh no we can't deliver out there and one woman said
THATS RACIST and the guy on the phone said last year our delivery guys got robbed several times
And my dad said
If you think thats racist then go walk out there at night and see what happens
And it shut her ass up
I mean THATS what stereotyping is
NOT like oh theres two black kids they must be robbing people
Its just knowing the danger of going places and not being Naive

Oh Samesies - the first one was interesting, because it was different. The next 8 were just redonk. Same as Hostel - I don't like torture movies.
But if a movie can honestly scare the shit out of me - I LOVE it!
The remake of "Evil Dead" was pretty terrifying.
And I LOVE "Cabin in the Woods". Very clever.

I grew up watching Creepshow, House, House 2, Critters, Critters 2, Goulies: 1,2,3?, Troll.
Basically if there was a bad horror movie in the 80's, I probably watched it in my childhood.
May explain some things actually....hmmmmmm...

I liked Cabin In The Woods. Not bad for a Joss Whedon horror flick. It was an unusual approach, and that earns it points.
Off the top of my head:
The Ring (cliche but it really was good, before they cloned the crap out of it with "The Grudge" and shit.)
The Mothman Prophecies
Pi
Enemy (just watched this, it kicked ass.)
Jacob's Ladder
Altered States
Enter The Void
I'm sure there's a bunch more I'm not thinkin of, but that's the general style I dig. Some of those aren't SUPER horror focused, more like creepy stuff that gets under your skin with suspense. I dig that.
Edit: More I thought of:
Silence Of The Lambs and the sequels
Alien series, if you count that.
The Shining
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers!

Enemy is freaky as fuck. It's directed by the guy who did Prisoners, and stars Jake Gyllenhaal, who I totally man-crush on. That dude is the man.

If you liked Jacob's Ladder you should check out Altered States... I relate the two in my brain, they're both super 80's'd out... William Hurt also rules.

Also, since you're actually listening and people don't usually, I'll add even more must-sees:
Arlington Road (old Tm Robbins/Jeff Bridges thriller from the 90's)
Black Swan (definitely a thriller/suspense even though it's in a modern and seemingly innocuous framework)
Rear Window (my favorite old Hitchcock... Jimmy Stewart is so enjoyable to watch for some reason...)
Zodiac (Gyllenhaal kicking ass again)
Prisoners (Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman both awesome in it... definitely more suspense than horror though, for the most part)

He's mad good. In a completely different vein (sort of existential comedy?) you should look up "Smoke" --both William Hurt and Harvey Keitel... probably my favorite Keitel performance. Fun film, very dialogue driven... Jim Jarmusch... just so much fun to watch really, because the dialogue all feels so cheeky and genuine.
Also: This thread is completely derailed. (You're welcome.)
