Psychological horror is more interesting to me than the explicitly physical.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any horror element is as much psychological as special effects.
Horror is about dreams and heightened states. It really is about taking away the logic on some level and getting right to the emotion of something.
Horror, for me, has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.
I think I'll stick with psychological thrillers.
Horror movies can be very interesting because they can deal with intangible subjects that are full of emotion.
For me, there is a basic recognition of horror as the most open doorway where the intersection of philosophical and religious ideas can come tighter.
For me, it's very easy to write a horror movie that's just a succession of scary sequences, but it's hard to find horror movies that have a genuine theme to them that are really exploring some aspect of our psychology and our fears.
Psychological horror I've always appreciated, like 'Rosemary's Baby.' The slasher movies and the grotesque movies are the ones that I've really been off for a while.
I think that true horror is accomplished by slowly getting into your brain. The old way is much more scary.
Horror is beyond the reach of psychology.
