I'm with you OP. Where is the film equivalent of this?

Maybe it's because really spooky things make you imagine them in first person.
Movies in first person just don't really work.
Not to mention the special effects issues.

There are plenty well written ones, you just have to look

>>84598678
How can you stand to listen to someone else read these? I never understood the appeal of audio books.

most horror movies suffer from the same pitfall. Once the monster or ghost is revealed it loses everything that made it scary.
What is truly scary is ambiguous horror. This is because the feeling of being scared is in itself rooted in your own subconscious and not in the physical. Things unknown are much spookier than things known.
I find that plebs that like horror generally don't see it this way and actually need a fully fledged monster or ghost to be scared. But this provides only a short superficial scare. Good horror is something that lingers around in your mind and makes you fill in the blanks. it never has a true resolution or reveal.

To me this is obvious with the split between people who think Lake Mungo is a movie where nothing happens and isn't scary in the slightest and people who think it's the most terrifying film of all time.

>>84598749
Most terrifying film of all time is a pretty big stretch even if you do like it.

>>84598781
I won't say the entire movie is that great, and there certainly is a lot of not much happening, but that particular scene scared me like no other scene ever has a stayed with me for a long time. and the not much happening scenes really help add to the realism of it all.

What's that one series of pastas that all start with odd instructions like "In X city go to X hotel and give the concierge a king card from a deck of bicycle playing cards and follow as they lead you to a plain red door" or something and usually ended up going to some kind of extra dimensional location or different plane?

music videos are thousand times more creepy than horror films because music videos won't explain the disturbing images they show to you. A horror film will, and that is the moment it becomes non-scary

A lot of people only appreciate the subtle terror of being unable to find time to eat fries, but overlook the surrealist horror that permeates the story throughout, from the car that needs "a rest" because it was out of gas (despite there being backup gas in the trunk all along) all the way to the abnormally long newspaper headline. It really is a masterwork of its genre.

I really, really recommend you check at least this video out. Try to just focus on the story and images (Severla times I listened but was looking at other tabs and had to go back to listne better)

Listne to these stories on the video and come back to me if they don't spook you a little bit.

Nobody knows how to build tension. Too much reliance on gore and jump-scares.

Truly uncomfortable scenes involve stuff like the lake one in Zodiac, the blown tire in Nocturnal Animals, or the dark hotel room in No Country for Old Men. You need to establish characters that we can empathize and whom the audiences wants to make it out alive. But as every second passes, they're getting more and more fucked.

I hate how horror movies make people do blatantly stupid things. I understand that adrenaline and fear can make people do short-sighted shit, but there's a difference between not thinking due to panic and being a retard.

The best type of creepiness is when a sensible character is put into a situation where showing your fear and/or making a critical mistake can get them killed or worse. Trouble is, it's hard to think properly when the other person may catch on and might even be toying with them like how cats do when catching mice.

Like many others, your inability to suspend your disbelief has destroyed your ability to enjoy (good) horror as an overly cynical adult. You think it isn't true, but you know as well as I do that when watching horror most modern viewers are actively looking for a reason to say
>THIS WASN'T EVEN SCARY! PLOTHOLE!
They/you do this during the movie, then are surprised why you can't enjoy them.

And I know you're unable to fully suspend, because you can pick any reasonably good modern horror, and if you were in that situation for real, most people talking about "this isn't scary" would be shitting themselves in fear.

Horror is the only genre this happens in. In the 90s, 80s, 70s and beyond, people didn't have this problematic stick up their asses. That may lead you into claiming the films were scarier, but that is false. Take someone young from this this generation. They'll watch the Exorcist and laugh.

It's modern ultra-cynicism. Boasting rights about being fearless. And the state of the world in general.
